Hi Linda
I have been on Q10 for about 5 years and have done a lot of research on it. Just remember it is fat soluble so needs to be taken with food that has a highish fat content for best absorption (eg chocolate!) I actually take 100 mg/day usually with breakfast which includes 10 ml of flaxseed oil. I am 4.5 years out from diagnosis with early BC (2 cm tumour, 1 node positive.) At the first sign of any further trouble I will go to >300 mg /day in divided doses particularly if I was going to be on Herceptin (which I havent had).
I heard last month that some trials in the US have been using doses as high as 900 mg/day without any side effects. At the moment if I am doing strenuous exercise or have a sore throat etc I go to 200 mg/day. I would also add that if you are coming off it to do so gradually and preferably stay on a maintenance dose of 100 mg/day for general good health.
Cheers
Jackie
