My doctor did suggest I take CoQ10 when he put me on a statin.  I was already taking it though. I swear it got me out of the Periodontist's chair.  

I use the Qunol one from Costco.  One pill nightly, which is when I take my statin.

@Icegoddess  [Great point on teeth & GUMS!]

Qunol wants you to take it with a meal (many supplments absorb better with some food), so for the 1 week I've been on Qunol 100, I take it with my first meal (which is not large). The other supp I take that wants food/fat/something is ARED2.

@1Professor The Qunol comes in oil, so that will help with the absroption.  It is what it is.  I can't remember to take meds unless it's first thing in the morning or after I brush my teeth for bed.  I have that issue with antibiotics too.  Always forgetting that midday dose.

I've taken Lessman's essential 1 with 100mg of CoQ10 for some years now. I do take a beta blocker, now a statin, and am 70. I don't want to get too crazy with supplements but have thought this was a good one along with the few others I take.

I used to take the Trader Joe's as well but it seems they discontinued it  It was a good one at a good price.

I have a bottle of Lessman's Essential 1 and have take that for many years (now considering stopping as it has LOTS OF INGREDIENTS IN SMALL AMOUNTS.

ALERT to you: No, it does not give you 100 mg of coQ10.

The label reads: 10 mg.

Not enogh for any of us who hit 70.

I've read that a reasonable dosage is 200 mg. unless specific health concerns require more.  We take 200 mg. of Qunol Kaneka Ubiquinol daily.  They come on 100mg. so we take two.  I've read that the Kaneka form is preferred.

I take the 300 mg from Costco. I have been taking this for about 2-3 yrs.

I have a relative who is a retired cardiologist and I am fortunate to have them answer questions regarding certain supplements.

Is it this one? Great information about Kaneka!

[SilleeMee]

If you're taking more than 100mg of ubiqunol each day, for instance 200mg, then split the dose in two and take half in the morning and the other half in the evening with food. The body cannot process high doses all at once so dividing the dose is better absorbed and processed while keeping sustained beneficial levels in the body throughout the day. Peak levels reach 6-8 hours after taking it and then decline to almost nothing after about a little over a day.

There's no established standard amount that the body absorbs at once. It will just get processed better if the dose is not a lot each time you take it.

Hey, Ginger, I used to find it on ebay for about $10 a bottle or even less and buy 4 at a time, I had some really good sellers.
