CO Q10 for long term use?

Posted by Jed_G on July 1, 2005, at 18:17:41

Hi,

Has anyone taken co-enzyme q10 for long periods and experienced poop-out?

Co Q10 boosts my energy levels significantly and stops brain fog.

If it does lose efficiency with time I was thinking of alternating it with NADH.

If anyone has strategies for improving the long term efficiency of coq10 then pls share the love!

John

hey! I'm new to the whole "alternative" health thing, so I can only really share with you what I've been reading. One thing that might work for you is combining alpha lipoic acid with the COQ10...the alpha lipoic acid should be dosed 2-3X daily, and it works nicely combined with vitamin C, vitamin E, and possibly selenium (Vitmain E supplementation levels should be kept kinda low). A nice B-complex will also boost energy, reduce brain fog, and work nicely with the COQ10, especially with regards to the beneficial cardiovascular effects of both substances. On the herbal front, green tea extract is good (try to get at least 150mgs polyphenols, divided up into 2-3 daily doses), grape seed extract is also good, and gingko and ginseng also work nicely for energy and clear-headedness. Good luck!

Just wanted to say - agree agree agree!

Have been taking most on that list for a while now - and the brain fog and energy issues are a thing of the past! Must be the ginkgo, b-complex and co-q10.

Ive also been lumping in aminos, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glutamine, and green tea (theanine). Which reminds me - Ive run out :(

I LURVE them.

Alpha Lipoic you say?
