For Dietary Supplementation "I practice cycling on a regular basis (200 miles a week) and started taking CoQ10 because it's supposed to make your muscles produce more energy, but I've been feeling sluggish for a week now. The first day I felt tired, I thought it was regular fatigue and rode easy for 4 days, but I still feel sluggish and without the energy that I always have in my rides. I've seen reviews of people that cause them to feel tired, and maybe that is what CoQ10 is causing me. I will stop taking it and will come back to post again."

For Dietary Supplementation "I am a heart patient since 5 years and implanted pacemaker since 1 year. I decided to try Coenzyme Q10 for heart health and immunity, etc. I have normal BP 140/70 and sugar under control up to 150 units. My doctor said it is a waste since it does nothing. Good reviews are posted by their own people or promoters. I took it for 5 days. Believe me, I was driven to the ground on the 4th day. My BP went down to 90/60 and my sugar came down to 90. I was dizzy, fainting, and had all sorts of breathing issues and fatigue, cold sweats. My heart was stopping and skipping, etc. I threw the bottle out in my trash bin and I'm back to normal now. Wonder why it is not launched in pharmacies if it was so good. Guys, don't get deceived by the reviews and posts. Don't ever take CoQ10. How can these money-greedy donkeys introduce something that can destroy you? Please pass it on to all you know, and if possible, to WHO and other medical control facilities. Thanks."

For Dietary Supplementation "CoQ10 was recommended by a holistic health doctor who told me to take 200 mg. I am 69 years old and have always been sensitive to meds and some supplements, so I started with 50 mg of Blue Bonnet Ubiquinol. It seemed to give me some energy the first two days and lowered my blood pressure the first day (a good benefit), so I upped the dose to 100 mg. I then started getting a restless feeling and some anxiety. This is the second day on 100 mg, and it put me on the couch all day. My heart rate was high after I took it, got bad anxiety, and felt weak and fatigued. According to the Mayo Clinic website, these can all be side effects, so I will discontinue this. However, be forewarned that I read the half-life on this is 33 hours, meaning that in 33 hours, half the supplement is still in your body, and it can take up to 5 days to clear out."
