this is really interesting! It is the first contraindication that Q10 is not good for cancer prevention etc. I have posted a number of articles in the past few years about Q10 and personally have used it for that time. I know it drives my markers down if I take 300 mg a day..but this keeps me awake so 200 mg is what I usually take.

It is probably important for people who are on Q10 not to stop it suddenly if they decide to come off it. Reduce the dose gradually over a few days.

However it has such a good effect on the LVEF and the heart as well as general support for the immune system that I wouldn't be too hasty in coming off it. there are many studies that support its good effects; just search this site.
