Thanks.
Their comment was in respect to Q10??
Now since Q10 doesn't get the scrutiny that the statins-and other prescription meds get-they really DON'T know that it is harmless.
Perhaps the anti-inflammatory effect of the statins IS related to depleting Q10?? Yes-this is "just supposing"
but since it really isn't clear WHY statins improve cardiac outcomes "more" than they should-since the cholesterol effect isn't "all" there is to it.
Yeah-just can't know what you can't know.
Niacin-a coenzyme also like Q10- can be toxic-
On the other hand-I increased my Q10 dose- 250 mg last 24 hrs-and I "feel" better-less "foggy" felt better climbing the levee-
Now really impossible to quantify "feel a little better" but I'll stay on 200-300 mg-see what happens.
My wife takes SOOO many medications that I don't want to jack her Q10 up until I see if it "kills me" 1st.
Prednisone-for vasculitis
cellcept -vasculitis
plavix-platlet
aspirin platlet
Lipitor-statin
Renexa-angina
Carvedilol- beta blocker-BP and heart
Lisinopril-BP and heart
insulin-diabetes from prednisone-worse on statin
nystatin mouth rinse for yeast infection-from prednisone
naproxyn as needed Nitroglycerin as needed
Q10= 100 mg/d for now.
Lotta meds-at least 7 crucial-better not miss many doses
Thanks
Charlie
PS What sort of dose are people taking-Q10?? older less expensive version not the latest more expensive version.
