COQ10 statistics

[alleysm]

Ela some do experience side effects but it depends on dosage and quality of product. I personally started with an off brand and had loose stool and itchy rash. I did some research and found a more quality product and have not had any issues

 

[vermeil]

just wondering, do you ladies take coq10 in one daily dose or do you split it along the day? I`ve been taking 300mg twice a day, with omega3 since I read coq10 is fat soluble so I figured taking it with omega3 (essentially fish oil) would help. Any thoughts?

Good luck to everyone!

That sounds to be about what I do Vermeil, I take two 400mg pills with meals everyday. I'll also be doing IVF soon so I"ve been taking myo-inositol too, supposed to be very good for egg quality (studies showed that it makes them grow big).

It's also in Pregnitude which is a fairly common supplement with IVF ladies. I've got loads of folic acid in my prenatal vit though so I don't need more. (Pregnitude has 200mcg folic and 2000mg Myo-Inositol.

when I went to pick up my Myo-inositol there was inositol and Myo-inositol. The (myo) form is meant to be more bio-absorable a little like the ubiquinol form of Co Q10 vs ubiquinone.

 

[vermeil]

thanks! That`s all good info. Not sure where to find pregnitude here in Montreal but I'll look around.

Hi ladies, am slowly reading thru all the pages in this thread.. Up to page 5 currently! But thought I'd jump in & say hi..

I'm 38, DP is 44 & were ttc #1. We have an appt with a fertility specialist on may 16th, our biggest issue is basically mechanical, so am hoping the FS will offer IUI right off the bat.

However neither of us is spring chickens anymore so im really worried about how difficult it might be ttc.

So I've been taking ubiquinol 200mg per day for about a month now. I'm not really sure about the dosage.. I have thought about taking more but it's sooooooo expensive compared to the CoQ10 (or ubiquinone). However, at this point, id happily sacrifice the $$$$$ if a higher dose might be proven to be beneficial.

Just wondering what daily dosage other people may have been advised to take of ubiquinol by doctors or FS??

Also do u girls split the dose throughout the day? I have read some articles that made me think it possibly is better to split the dose for physiological reasons (to do with its levels remaining high in ur bloodstream throughout the day)..

Hi Juniperjules, I split the dose each day. Take 400mg in the morning and 400 in the evening. I also take pycnogenol and resveratrol to help with aging issues (quality of eggs). We're in the middle of IVF right now and I know what you mean about the $$$ issue. I got my CoQ10 through https://naturalbiology.stores.yahoo.net/coq10400mg.html because you can get 12 for ~32/bottle. I don't always remember to take 2/day but I take so many supplements it's important to take these ones with food because they're fat soluable. I take them with salmon and evening primerose oil caps for better absorption after meals.
I'd sell a house to ensure we get a bunch of kids, I've always wanted a big family with lots of giggling munchkins to feed at Sunday dinner. Can't wait and so looking forward to having a successful bfp.

Have you tried softcups Juniper? We tried for 15 months before we got 2 bfps as soon as we started using softcups. Unfortunately, I think I have egg quality issues because 1 was a chemical and 1 was a m/c.
I also had my DHEAS tested and it was low so I'm on DHEA for egg quality before IVF. https://www.centerforhumanreprod.com/dhea.html

age: 38 when started ttc, 39 when got my sticky bean, 40 when I had my baby, 41 now
how long ttc: around 16 months
losses: 2 (first-tri)
length of time on coq10: 2-3 months
what dosage: 600-800mg (used Doctor's Best brand, it seemed the most reasonably priced)
result: bfp and sticky bean

I started taking CoQ10 after reading an article about how it may help improve the quality of older women's eggs (https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...nt-coq10-could-key-pregnancy-older-women.html). I'll never know if it helped, but I like to think it did! After my 2 losses i did a lot of reading and found that some losses are due to autoimmune/blood-clot issues so I also started taking low-dose aspirin after my bfp (to 35 weeks). I was also using other things like 'sperm meets egg plan', ovulation sticks/monitor, softcups. Good luck and baby dust to everyone x

What is the best kind of CoQ10 for egg health?

I bought this kind on Amazon, but not sure if it is the right kind.

I can't tell if this is ubiquinol or ubiquinone. Here's an article explaining the difference:

Thanks for that info.

I just found out that the Kirkland brand is Ubiquinone.

So I'll be ordering https://naturalbiology.stores.yahoo.net/coq10400mg.html

Yea, I think they're the least expensive for ubiquinol that I've seen. I go through them pretty quickly so I order 12 at a time to get the lowest price.

That sounds like what i had from the coq10 an itchy rash once i changed brands i was fine. Maybe try a lower dose for awhile then gradually increase it

 

[Sis4Us]

Thanks I did cut back to every other day and Ill look for a better brand when I go to the Healthfood Store!!!!
Thanks Again

Going to have to try that Natural Biology Brand...I've been paying about $35/bottle for just the 100mg, and I go through it SO fast taking the higher doses.

Edit: Bonus!!

I found it on Amazon for $28.00:

Ohhh, thanks for the heads up on that. I think the quality of the product is important, if you're getting rashes or side effects with Ubiquinone, try ubiquinol higher quality brand and you'll be less likely to have issues.

 

[Hopethisyear]

I'm starting Coq10 today as suggested by my RE and may have DH try it out too. Headed out to price the different brands with ubiquinol which seems to be the better quality.

I did read it takes about 3 months to absorb into your system, has anyone else heard that?
