Are store brands as good as others? Which ones to buy? I read too many conflicting things! What do you buy and how much do you take?
I am old! I'm going to try this, but don't know what to get! Thanks for any advice!

Get ubiquinol instead of CoQ10; it's the naturally-occuring, faster-absorbing form of CoQ10.
100 mg. once daily is the average, but if you're on a statin and/or have any heart issues, the recommended dosage is 200 mg. once a day.
Some take 300 mg. daily, due to their cadiologist/other doc's recommendation.
It will help your mitchondria, the little energy centers in most cells.
I always go on Amazon for the highest-rated reviews and best prices; it's super-easy. 8)
Jarrow Formulas is an excellent brand (for any supplement) and one of my faves.

OH thanks! I can never remember what is what with that stuff! I don't have any heart issues and am not on medication for anything. I just read that sometimes older people benefit from it. I take a multi vitamin, d3 and sometimes a B12, but that's it.
Thanks for all the input!

I thought we had lots of "experts" here! An "ex" is a has been and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure!

My young female doctor told me to take CoQ10 if and when you take cholesterol meds.

I have been here since the beginning and I respect the advice and experiences of many of our posters. Yes, I have a doctor. No, this isn't something I need to consult him about. I am just asking people what they buy and where and why. I doubt he shops a lot for this so, he wouldn't be a good source for this.

I take AL's CoQ10, but I'm on a statin and I take 300mg. If you are lucky enough not to be on any meds at your age I would just keep on doing what you are doing.

I buy Andrew Lessman's every Sept when he has a TS. Make sure you only buy Kaneka. Check out https://ubiquinol.org there is info about ubiquinone and ubiquinol. It also lists the brands that are sold that use Kaneka.
