Taking lipitor and had pain when walking. After coq10 I can now walk without pain. Had to walk five or six steps to get loosened up before but now I don't.

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 starte...

Since going on C0Q10 I have been having strange muscle problems in my left upper leg area, similar to being bruised BUT I have no bruises. I am quitting the COQ10 to see if it clears up

Statins put me in a wheelchair in one month. I quit them, and was told the pain I continued to experience was fibromyalgia and neuropathy. I found ubiquinol suggested on the fibromyalgia spacedoc webpage and tried it. Within 2 weeks It cut resting pain by 90% in hips legs and feet, and walking pain by about 35% while On Naturewise ubiquinal 100 mg mornings. Brain fog lifted significantly. I stopped it for about a month, and the pain returned, but pain stopped again when I went back on it. It is the ONLY thing that has helped, more than pain meds, more than fibro meds, and with only side effect being occasional slightly upset stomach if I don't have milk or food with it. I'm going to raise the dose to 300mg next due to that very heavy damage that was caused by simvustat over 3 years ago. Very Highly Recommended!Read More Read Less

Age 76. I take 400 mg daily. I started with a much lower dose and felt somewhat dizzy for the first day or so. No noticeable adverse side effects now. I had 2 heart attacks in my early 50s. Family has history of heart problems. I walk 6 miles every day now and take other supplements. Without other BP medication which not only lowers my BP but also my naturally slow heart rate, my BP remains somewhat high so Co-Q 10 seems to have a negligible effect there. I've been taking Co-Q 10 for more than 10 years and will continue to do so. I buy my Co-Q 10 at Sam's Club - Simply Right is the brand name which I mention here because it's not on the list presented here.Read More Read Less

I take CoQ10 whenever I have gum issues arise. This also includes sores on my tongue. After two doses the issues are alleviated!

I'd been prescribed a statin for my high cholesterol but I experienced erratic and scary pulse rates, so I stopped taking it. When I asked my regular medical Dr. about possible natural medications, he told me about Red Yeast Rice (1200 mg./per day) and CoQ-10 (300 mg./day)- which I took together. I've had no negative side effects and have been very happy with the results. Within 3 months, my readings have dropped from high to mid-normal range! I've been taking them for over a year.

Taking for muscle issues with long term statin use. 200 mg daily helps reduce symptoms, just added 100 mg Ubiquinol to CoQ10 already used due to flare up of symptoms and getting side effects again of nausea, loss of appetite, caffeine-like nervousness. Will ride out or maybe separate doses. Does help muscle issues. Have developed thyroid nodules, benign, with no family history.

I have been using 800 mg of magnesium and 400 mg of b2 for some time, for my migraine headaches. This combination, as well as eliminating gluten and corn from my diet has taken me from daily headaches to two days a week which is a great improvement. Thought I would try cq10. Unfortunately, since I started just 100 mg a day, for a week, it has given me a headache every day. Headache can be a side effect of cq10.

co enzyme q 10 if used with other vitamins and minerals is very good for a person especially when taken with fruit concentrates such as elderberry and black cherry

A friend suggested I start taking the enzyme after she and her husband were taking it for heart health. I noticed a mild improvement in my fibromyalgia pain. I upped the dosage and noticed a marked improvement in my ability to move with less pain. I took myself off it to see what would happen. In two weeks time I was in severe pain. I still have bad bouts with the fibromyalgia, but it is not a daily struggle. 400 mg. daily is what I take that seems to work the best.

COQ10 has worked for migraine relief for me, HOWEVER, I have been doing 100mg (three times a day) for a total of 300mg for almost five months now. I feel somewhat depressed and anxious. There really aren't any long term studies out there saying if it's safe to take COQ10 in large doses over a long period of time. So I am going to continue to take 400mg of B2 and 600mg of Magnesium Citrate (which I have been taking both of those along side the COQ10) and hope that even though I am eliminating the COQ10, the B2 and Magnesium Citrate will be ok on their own!Read More Read Less
