Editorial Review: Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a vitamin-like compound involved in energy production. In addition, research has identified CoQ10 for its role as a powerful antioxidant. The antioxidant activity of CoQ10 is limited in the sense that it protects only against the damage to fat. It also helps to increase antioxidants in the body by having a “sparing” effect on vitamin E. CoQ10 works with Vitamin E to fight free radical damage and help the body resist potential health concerns.
I like it, but found lower price at Trader Joes 3 out of 5
I started taking CoQ10 a couple weeks ago after reading about benefits in a brain health book. I noticed a change the first few days but seems like my body has adjusted since then. I will still take them but plan to try the Trader Joe's brand which is being sold for 17.99 (100mg and 90 tabs).
Does It Work? Hmmm... 3 out of 5
This stuff is suppose to be helpful for those on statins or heart failure. I have been taking these for a month, but cannot tell if they are helping or not. Course, there is no way to tell until the next visit to the doctor or echo. I asked the cardiologist: he recommended 100mg daily and that it is well tolerated by patients. I read several clinical studies about it, and the results were not consistent. I had 2 concerns:
1) Is it bio-available? If you take it, is it absorbed by the body? It is an unregulated supplement, so this is not a given. The studies, however, showed that the levels in the body do increase measurably.
2) Cost: these things ain't cheap. It is safe, but chances are good that it doesn't really help, but it might, a little. So, I have no objection to taking it, as long as you do not have to pay too much, so shop around. Note especially the price per dose.

I took this supplement a few months, but saw no benefits and it expensive so I won't buy again.
Q-10 is good for everyone. 5 out of 5
I just tried for a couple of weeks. But my dad and my mother-in-law have felt the difference it made.
Great product, but overpriced. 3 out of 5
I bought this because the vitamin packet that I used to take has been discontinued, and I couldn't find another packet that included this supplement. I just found this supplement at Costco for less than half this price!
