Hi....please see my post # 31.
I started out at 30 mg three times per day in the summer of 2000. The CO-Q10 was purchased at WalMart. (I currently purchase the CO-Q10 at Sam’s Club, they are tan-colored gelatin capsules. The brand is “Simply Right.”) I’ve never seen a chewable variety.
WalMart stopped selling 30 mg years ago, and the smallest size available was 50 mg. So, I was up to 150 mg per day at that point.
When I developed Afib in late 2008, I increased my dosage of CO-Q10, with the knowledge of my doctor. I take 200 mg at breakfast, 300 mg at lunch, and 200 mg at dinner. I’m up to 700 mg a day now, which is probably more than most people need.
I remember reading an interesting story on the Internet a number of years ago. A man was taking care of his mother, who was bedridden. He was giving her 30 mg of CO-Q10 per day. She wasn’t doing well, and her relatives expected her to pass away soon.
One day, the son started to accidentally give his mom 300 mg per day. Before long, his mother got out of bed, got dressed, and started to attend family functions. Everyone in the family was stunned.
Our Walmart has two different brands of "chewy" -- one is "Spring Valley", and I forget the other one, plus several brands of pills.
I might look into some other things on your list too, such as L-Carnitine.
I know that "Dr. Oz" recommends CO-Q-10 supplements, and "Dr. Sears" recommends Omega-3's in fish oils, etc. If you're interested on their take on these things, you can check out these links:
