For Dietary Supplementation "The first day I took this, I experienced breathing difficulty, light-headedness, and felt somewhat dizzy. I did not realize it was the supplement causing it. I saw my doctor, and they could find nothing wrong. Day two, the same thing happened shortly after taking it. That's when I researched the product here and discovered the possible side effects, which affected me. My blood pressure was elevated rather than low. I feel fine when not taking this product."

For Dietary Supplementation "After doing some reading, I decided on my own to try ubiquinol since I am on a statin. My own cardiologist does not feel there’s any merit in this supplement. I took one name brand 100 mg soft gel capsule the first morning. The next morning, I woke up with nausea and elevated blood pressure. I vomited numerous times that morning, and the nausea and vomiting continued later into the evening. Not knowing if this was caused by the ubiquinol, I later discovered on the internet that these side effects have been the experience of others taking this supplement. Needless to say, I won’t be trying this again any time soon."

For Dietary Supplementation "I'm taking CoQ10 for metabolic support, to prevent migraines and heart disease. Doing well, helping reduce debilitating migraines; had to reduce the dose from 400 to 200 after a series of other medical issues to manage blood pressure... It just doesn't take as much as it used to for my body to achieve the optimal effect for my heart health."
