I had picked up some CoQ10 (Ubquionine) today hearing that it has benefits for cellular energy and BP etc. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using this and can attest to its effectiveness...Thanks in advance..

How well did it work? What was it before and after?i used it to lower bp on my last cycle...
i just went off "feeling" but my headaches went away at the same time i started it..How well did it work? What was it before and after?
Boost energy, endurance, and help you recover faster.Any performance benefits?
The only subset of pathological HTN for which coenzyme q10 has shown any use is the exceptional minority whose elevated BP is the result of rampant superoxide radicals and subsequent NO-inactivation. Even so, large clinical studies have shown no significant benefit.For BP there are a lot cheaper and just as effective options
Like?For BP there are a lot cheaper and just as effective options
lower dosed Hawthorn with Celery seed ExtractLike?
Thanks - More reason no to buy it. CoQ10 and SAMe are both over rated ingreds IMO. The benefits of both don't justify the costThe only subset of pathological HTN for which coenzyme q10 has shown any use is the exceptional minority whose elevated BP is the result of rampant superoxide radicals and subsequent NO-inactivation. Even so, large clinical studies have shown no significant benefit.

I read that, good article for sure. I even picked up a book on CoQ10, interesting information on electron transporter and potent antioxidant.
If one did supplement it, doesn't it take like 2-3 months to start seeing/getting the benefits since its the only antioxidant we internally synthesize?COQ10 supplementation in healthy individuals is a lot like PQQ supplementation: largely worthless
Sure, but do you have reason to believe that you have a CoQ10 deficiency?If one did supplement it, doesn't it take like 2-3 months to start seeing/getting the benefits since its the only antioxidant we internally synthesize?
Coop clean ur inbox lolSure, but do you have reason to believe that you have a CoQ10 deficiency?
It's not the only antioxidant humans synthesize (i.e. glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ALA, SOD, et cetra).If one did supplement it, doesn't it take like 2-3 months to start seeing/getting the benefits since its the only antioxidant we internally synthesize?
Age?Sure, but do you have reason to believe that you have a CoQ10 deficiency?
Enzymes that can act as antioxidants. I'm talking about the only lipid soluble antioxidant.It's not the only antioxidant humans synthesize (i.e. glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ALA, SOD, et cetra).
[h=2][/h]To maximize your cardiovascular health, cognitive functions, cellular health and energy production after the age of 40, Robert J. Barry, Ph.D., former principle adviser for the National Institutes of Health and scientific authority on CoQ10, recommends starting at 200 to 300 mg per day for three weeks -- the length of time it takes to achieve plasma plateau. After three weeks, a daily amount of 50 to 100 mg tends to be a good daily maintenance dose for most individuals.Age?
After 40, I'd rather take Ubiquinol.[h=2][/h]To maximize your cardiovascular health, cognitive functions, cellular health and energy production after the age of 40, Robert J.

THE BASICS: Ubiquinol is a reduced, more bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a substance produced by the human body that's necessary for the basic functioning of cells. HEALTH BENEFITS: When we’re young, ubiquinol is the predominant form of CoQ10 in nearly every cell in our bodies. As we get older, our ability to efficiently produce both CoQ10 and its electron-rich ubiquinol form declines. This results in less cellular energy and diminished protection against oxidation, which can lead to cellular damage. CoQ10 levels tend to be low in patients with certain chronic conditions, including heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes. Statin drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.Ubiquinol has been known to scientists since in the late 1950s. Research on ubiquinol appeared in scientific journals throughout the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, even though large quantities weren't commercially available. These early studies provided evidence of the critical roles ubiquinol plays in the production of cellular energy and protection against oxidative damage to DNA. Newer studies show that ubiquinol may benefit cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and mitochondrial disorders; diabetes; periodontal disease; and hypertension.WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE: A review of the studies published to date consistently shows that, in comparison to conventional CoQ10, supplementation with ubiquinol results in increased bioavailability and higher cellular ubiquinol levels. Ubiquinol has only recently become available in large quantities in supplement form. The recommended dosage is typically 50—100 mg daily, taken with food, preferably with fat.- Robert J. Barry, Ph.D., former principle adviser for the National Institutes of HealthAfter 40, I'd rather take Ubiquinol.
ALA is not an enzyme and it is lipid soluble (its amphipathic, actually).Enzymes that can act as antioxidants. I'm talking about the only lipid soluble antioxidant.
But not half the AM populationAge and statin use which describes half the US population at this point.

Huntington’s disease | 600mg/ day |
Parkinson’s disease | 500-1200 mg |
I believe you are taking things out of context. I know ALA is not an enzyme obviously...ALA is fatty acid that exists in the mitochondria and is involved in energy metabolism, gives a short but potent reduction of oxidation by increasing anti-oxidant enzymes... Which is the first 2 enzymes you've listed...ALA is not an enzyme and it is lipid soluble (its amphipathic, actually).
You keep backtracking. First you said coq10 was the only endogenous antioxidant (post 21). It's not.I believe you are taking things out of context.

Once again, ALA is lipid soluble and is endogenously synthesized from octanoic acid.I'm not digging myself in a hole. CoQ10 is the only lipid soluble antioxidant synthesized in the body.
I understand that, but now this is getting repetitive. You told me ALA is amphipathic, water and fat soluble, yes. Not going against what your word is. i know its jumbled up but thats what ya get when I'm responding on my phone. Plus, I'm talking about solely lipid soluble. I've read up about CoQ10 because my father is deficient and it helps with heart failure due to its role as an ETC and potent antioxidant. I appreciate you trying to shed light on the matter and help with the knowledge, but my question was answered.Once again, ALA is lipid soluble and is endogenously synthesized from octanoic acid.
