HI Linda -
I was taking 400 mg per day but recently swiched to COQ10 by Usana per my Primary Care Physcian's suggestion. She said that the way it is manufactured and absorbed by the body that 200 mg of it is equivalent to the 400 mg of the one I was taking. I also asked her if she had a vested interest in Usana, which she does not. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? I would love to take less because it is not cheap!
I also read in Christiane Northrup's book - Women's Body, Women's Wisdom that she recommends 300+ mg/day for bc patients. Her recommendation is unrelated to heart function but rather based on some studies that have shown about 20% of BC patients have less than normal levels of COQ10 in their system. CoQ10 is is necessary for the production of ATP which is the main molecule that powers are cells. Also it has been shown to enhance immune functioning. (p357-358).
Best,
Tami
