I sent you a PM with other links.

The problem here is that the absorption of CoQ-10 has always been a problem.

All the sites on this topic say different things.
For example the Q-gel site says,
from http://www.epic4health.com/noname.html

Linus Pauling's site says 10% of oil soluble may be absorbed.
Which is correct?
This is because the studies themselves are all over the place.

So it becomes very difficult to make a final recommendation, or chose a product.

I think Dr. Sahelian is conservative, and he wants people to buy HIS products. When doctors go online, they tend to be very careful...for liability reasons.

I tend to not recommend CoQ-10 except for people with Statin therapy and for the PDers I recommend their forum, because some of them post about their treatment with high dose.

Dr. Sahelian's site did quote the very high doses used in studies.

So the whole topic of coQ-10 is muddled IMO. I do see when looking on Epic4Health, that their product Q-gel has come way down in price. It used to be very expensive. So now their prices are competitive with the oil soluble form (in soybean oil).

So staying with Q-gel may be the answer. The 30mg should be enough for most people. I wouldn't go above 100mg of that
Q-gel form. I saw one comment yesterday somewhere, that a PDer was using 600mg of the Q-gel. Sorry I lost track and can't find it now, I was searching quite a bit yesterday and didn't save it. I get the impression that the really high doses get into the brain better. My dose of 300mg a day, oil base, is not getting to MY brain --I don't feel any different.
R-lipoic and SAMe however will make me hyper and I have to watch doses on both of those these days.
