CoQ10 works in cells for energy production. It is a blood thinner, so careful if you take Coumadin. In cancer patients, it has been shown to increase remissions (although some here disagree). It is a great supporter of heart strengthening. A recommended dose by my cancer nutrionists is 50-300 mg per day, taken in two doses per day. It is a strong antioxidant, so the jury is still out on whether it should be taken with/around chemo treatments. But Herceptin shouldn't be affected.
I've finally given up on chemo/Hercetin alone, and am trying to stick to taking a daily course of supplements. Although I admit, and it seems silly, I back off of COQ10 and a couple of others on chemo day and the next.
----------------------------------------
You can buy CoQ10 at any grocery, drug or health food store. Prices vary tremendously, but remember you want to take 50-300 mg. per day. Some of the recommended brands include NatureMade(on extra fillers, dyes), Solgar, Solaray, Thorne Basic III (No iron, copper), Nature's Way, Nature's Herbs.

Switching from weekly to tri-weekly or vice-versa does NOT require another loading dose.
