I take 550mg (one capsule) and take it after breakfast. I wish I had known about it while still on chemo as it has syngergistic effects, especially with taxanes.

With chemo, I got the go ahead with this as well as the fish oil (omega 3) and a multi but that was it. I did Herceptin alone so I really did the gamit with supplements for a variety of reasons then (including CoQ 10).

Go for it!

Remember that a nice curry meal can substitute and equals about 250 mg.
