RE: CO-Q10
How many milligrams do you take daily? Thanks.
Back in the summer of 2000, I took 30 mg of CO-Q 10, three times a day, for a total of 90 mg per day. I bought them at WalMart.....I forget the brand.
Over the years, I gradually increased the mg of CO-Q 10. WalMart discontinued the 30 mg size, so I started to take 50 mg, three times per day, one with each meal. So I was up to 150 mg per day.
Currently, I buy the COQ-10 at Sam’s Club....the brand is “Simply Right.”
In November, 2008....on election day.....I had a routine doctor’s appointment, and they told me I had Afib. I upped the CO-Q 10 once again.
In 2011, I didn’t have much energy and started to get short of breath, and had a burning in my stomach when I walked. I ended up in the hospital in January, 2012, with a heartbeat of 180+ per minute, and an ejection fraction of only 15!
Once again, I upped the CO-Q 10, lost 40 pounds, and, as usual, I snapped back to normal. The medical people think I go into and out of Afib. I’m down to about 62 beats per minute now.
I now take 200 mg of CO-Q10 at breakfast, one 200 mg of C0-Q10 at lunch and a second gel capsule of 100 mg, also at lunch....and 200 mg of CO-Q10 at dinner. So, currently I take 700 mg of COQ-10 per day, which works for me, but it might be too much for some people. My doctor knows I take these supplements. It’s probably best to check with your provider.
I also take 500 mg of L-Carnitine at breakfast, 1000 mg of Fish oil at breakfast, 1000 mg of Fish Oil at dinner, and 400 mg of magnesium at dinner. I buy the magnesium at the WalMart pharmacy counter. I just have to ask for it....no prescription is necessary.
I also take Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Multivitamin (Centrum), 1000 mg of garlic at breakfast, Vitamin D-3 (400 mg) at dinner, 600 mg of Red Rice Yeast at dinner, plus a number of prescription drugs.
Hope this helps.
