User Reviews for coenzyme q10

I have taken coq10 several times. It always seems to cause nighttime awakenings around 2-3 am at least in the beginning of taking it.

My blood pressure was consistently in the 140s/80sat home. I have also the white coat syndrome, when I am at the doctor my blood pressure will shoot to the 190s/90s. I took 1 teaspoon (50 mg) of Coq10 in the liquid form in the morning before breakfast, after four days my blood pressure readings were around 108/71. I am astonished by those results in such a short time. So far I did not experience any side effects. I am curious to find out what my blood pressure will be during my next visit to a doctor.Read More Read Less

Releaved Night leg cramps but I got headaches 1

After a recent major operation I recovered very quickly and unproven I know but I feel my daily dose of Q10 helped.

I am fairly young 39 with chronic High Blood Pressure. 150s/100. After two weeks of Sundown 100mg twice a day I saw a decrease to 125/82. That along with increased workout energy and focus. I do get occasional gas from taking the supplement, but that is my only complaint.

I was advised by a doctor to start taking CoQ10 to counteract muscle pain caused by statins. I still had pain. Then another doctor told me that I should take 1200 mg. per day to feel any results. I've done this for about three years now. One time I switched brands and developed muscle pain again. I'm still taking 1200 mg. per day. I still have some pain, but nowhere near as much as before I started on the larger dose (1200 mg.) of CoQ10.

Migraines, muscle pain, body pain, numbness all over

I started taking Ubiquinol (from Costco) after being on Lipitor for 1 week and feeling OK, minimal side effects. After about a week on the Ubiquinol, I started feeling really tired and much like a Zombie. Stopped taking and have felt much better so far. Doesn´t seem to agree with me.

Took 1 tablet of NOW 100mg Ubiquinol a month before lipids testing. Not since before 1997 have I had such low cholesterol and my blood pressure is down. Doc is tapering me off Lipitor (which causes anxiety and which I had to begin taking once a cure for insomnia caused my body to make more cholesterol--your body makes that during sleep). My usual Total Chol has been between 191-240 since insomnia cure; ~190 for decades before then. TOTAL CHOLESTEROL AFTER 1 MONTH OF UBIQUINOL WAS 124! Absolutely every number on the lipids panel, was for once, way within the normal limits. Doc is cutting Lipitor in half; I'm hoping to also end up cutting blood pressure medicine in half and getting rid of cholesterol medicine altogether. Also been on an anti-inflammatory diet, but I've done that before without these kinds of results. Thinking the change had more to do with the Ubiquinol. Lipitor/statin meds depletes ubiquinol, which affects every cell in the body as I understand it.Read More Read Less

Have been taking Metoprolol/HCTZ for almost 10 years; and increasing dosage resulted in negative gains. Taking lower dosage with COQ-10 and a B-complex gave best results!

Since Parkinson's may be caused by toxic exposure, may be best to get as clean a supplement as possible or pharmaceutical grade. Not at the big box stores.

extreme cramping with statins before using. Now I take 200 mg daily at bedtime and have not had any cramps, weakness, or muscle pain.

My 96 year old mother has been able to reduce her medicines to just 3 of them plus vitamins. She takes 25 mg lovastatin, 2 baby asprin and 25 mg sertraline. I had been giving her CoQ 10 as well. When I stopped for a few weeks her age-related and post TIA-mini-stroke Dementia got much worse. Her thought processes and mind-body connections became very impaired making it difficult to communicate with her effectively and difficult for her to stand or walk a couple feet. I started giving her the CoQ 10 again, and it was amazing. Within 48 hours her previous physical and mental abilities returned. She can complete her sentences which are again coherent, she can understand what I say, and she can stand up for 5 minutes, walk across the room and even play Scrabble with me. Without the CoQ 10 it had become so difficult to take care of her at home over a 6-8 week period that I thought I would have to put her in a Care Home. I read that Lovastatin causes CoQ 10 deplepletion (along with the aging process). I was totally amazed how fast CoQ 10 worked to reverse the totally debilitating process that was getting worse and worse for my mother. With CoQ 10 daily, (and blueberries) my mother is 96 years YOUNG again. I have learned the hard way (both for myself and my mother) that it is very important to thoroughly research how one's medicines may be negatively interacting, (causing reduced or increased absorption or other side effects) and how some medicines can result vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

I take 100 mg gummy. It took a good year before it helped my pain from cholesterol medicine. What I wanted some to know that at one time I tried to increase to taking 200 mg coq 10 gummy a day and I started having pain in my ankles, when I would awake my ankles were weak and almost went out from under me upon awaking and getting out of bed. After I walked a little it would stop. It took a while to figure it out, but I started thinking what I had been doing different in vitamins. The only thing was the increase in coq10. I stopped the 200 mg a day and went back to 100 mg a day and the pains quickly went away immediately. I was taking Spring Valley coq10 gummy.Read More Read Less

My blood pressure is always high Ubquinol have my blood pressure normal 120/77 all the time I am going to be on this supplement for life

Life changing. It's not an earth shattering experience. But a number of little changes, like, walking down steps with confidence, being able to put on your trouser without falling over. Going for a walk and being able to look over your shoulder without feeling off balance, remembering details you previously forgot. There is more but I think you have got to find out from your own experience. We are all different.

Used Coq10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, B1, B12, Relafen and D and brought my non-diabetic neuropathy to a standstill. Am now taking 2 Relafens a day and none of the above. GNC C0Q-10 - 100 mg. Not on your list.
