I never noticed any difference with cq10 but sice taking ubiquinol I have, I definitely have an increase in energy,
in fact I had to reduce the dose from 100mg to 50mg as it affected my sleep as well (too much energy in my brain?).
I also take liposomal vit c, and magnesium.

Just want to thank everyone for this article as I am packing for a flight and a trip and as I was putting all my supps in their little daily dose plastic containers, I was wondering the same thing. More like, what will happen if I lose these and go a couple weeks without. :eek:

I, too, am doing better and don't want to go back. But, people have brought up some things I didn't know. I use Ubiquinol because I heard it was better, but it's EXPENSIVE. So, now I'm wondering if I could get bulk bottles and if I should increase the dose. I'm only at the 100 mg/day. :confused:

Anyway, just wanted to thank the forum members again! for helping keeping me moving... in the right direction..:thumbsup:

We are just getting sucked in. Most supps even including postage from overseas are way cheaper then locally. It wouldnt suprise me if they rought this stuff from iherb ib bulk and just mark it up by 300%.

Hi heapsreal, I know for a fact that some companies do this. I ordered locally thinking it would be quicker from one company, and my box came directly from iherb. Why pay for the middle man? Bye, Alex

I think if u go to increase your doses of supps, sometimes its better to spread it throughout the day. I use an am and a pm dosing but some supps you have to trial as they may worsen sleep like q10, lucky for me it wasnt a problem, so i take 100mg q10 in the am and another 100mg in the pm.

cheers!!!
