Is all ''CoQ10" created equal?

My doctor wants me to start taking CoQ10 - 400 mg. Any suggestions such as brand or is it alright to just go grab one off of the shelf?

I take Andrew Lessman's co q 10. It is sourced from Konica (I'm not sure I spelled that right) It is produced in the USA, Most other co q 10 comes from China - and I really wouldn't take a supplement that originates in China.

I love Andrew Lessman's products and their purity as well as the lack of added ingredients and/or colors. Check the label. Also - they're capsule which are easy to swallow.

No it's not created equal. You do want to make sure you only buy Kaneka CoQ10. I also use Andrew Lessman TruQ10 & CoQ10. There are 2 forms of CoQ10 Ubiquinol & Ubiquinone.

Not according to Andrew Lessman

you should listen to his presentation and then make a decision.

Kaneka, the Japanese company? Just trying to clarify, you use that and the Lessman CoQ10?

No I believe it's a Texas company. Kaneka Nutrients.

The delivery system for CoQ10 differs. I took one in rice flour and my DH took one in rice oil. The fillers and preservatives can make a big difference when you take them. You may have to find the right one for you. If I take the one in rice oil I get a terrific belly ache!

I just checked and that's a subsidiary of the Japanese Kaneka company.

I take Andrew Lessman's Essential vitamin and his mix for eye health.

I'd like to take his CoQ10 but as I recall, it's very expensive, I should look again. I've been taking CoQ10 from Costco.
