breast cancer cell lines in a petri dish. That is why I titled the thread "preclinical study"--it is pointing the direction for further study in people--none has been done so far.

I have previously commented that a substance can cause one effect in a low concentration, and the opposite in a higher concentration. Similarly I have commented that different breast cancers with different molecular make-ups
react differently to different drugs/substances.

This article showed the results of using CoEnzyme Q on two breast cancer cell lines--one her2-ER- and one her2+ ER---in a Petri dish.

The results cannot yet be applied to humans and are not relevant to those already being treated with other medications/dietary supplements--whether those combine with additive, superadditive, or conflicting effects is not known yet.

Clinical trials with nonpharmaceutical company products are hard to come by--trials are expensive to run, and usually run by companies with considerable future profits in mind.

I posted this as I know many here have listed CoQ among the supplements they take. It cannot tell you whether or not adding CoQ to your regimen will have the desired effect, but at least it does not point towards its having an undesired effect.

Sorry to be so "hazy". but more is unknown than known.

PS the effect of CoQ on these two cell lines was to stop them from dividing and thus, the "tumor" from growing and to stimulate self-destruction of the affected cells--but again, this was done only for two ER=- lines, one her2- and one her2 +
