This is more a question for the experts than a review. I am a 60 year old female, and I have been taking co-Q-10 supplements daily for over 20 years. I began taking it after reading a research paper that indicated that co-Q-10 might be effective in increasing immune response.

This is more a question for the experts than a review. I am a 60 year old female, and I have been taking co-Q-10 supplements daily for over 20 years. I began taking it after reading a research paper that indicated that co-Q-10 might be effective in increasing immune response. My whole life prior to that time, I was extremely susceptible to infections; if someone with the flu or a cold even looked at me across a room, I got sick. I was constantly sick as a child, and as an adult suffered what seemed like a continuous cold throughout the winter, along with episodes of the flu, bronchitis, etc. NOTHING helped, not dietary intervention, not the then-popular vitamin C dosage, nothing. After several months of taking a combined dose of co-Q-10, vitamin E and lecithin (a cocktail suggested in the research paper), I noticed that I was not getting sick as often. I have continued the same dosage since that time, and I have not had a single cold while taking it. No colds, no flu, no bronchitis, nothing. I did suspend the dosage for several weeks two or three times, to see if it made a difference. It did. Caught a cold. Started dosage again and returned to cold-free status. (I should note that after reading reports earlier this year that long-term dosage with vitamin E could be harmful, I discontinued the vitamin E portion of the cocktail. I have not noticed any decrease in effectiveness). So I am curious to know if there have been any further studies on this effect of co-Q-10. Is it possible that this could be a placebo effect of such lasting duration? What say you, experts? Inquiring minds want to know. ^_^

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.

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.

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