This link sells both, and has information you can read.
The new water soluble type, like Q-gel at this link enables lower dosing.

Another brand out now that is more soluble is Qunol:
Walmart and Costco have this as well as Amazon.
4 months supply at 100mg a day is around $30.00

Those really high doses of older CoQ-10 that does not have
the water solubilizing quality were used in treating some PD patients and some ataxia patients. That form needing olive oil, or some fat to go along with it, is not as current as the newer
solubilized types.
I think it is odd, that your doctor recommended such a high dose. I wonder if he knows about the newer forms? |

Thank you for your response. Its sounds like my Neuro was right in recommending I get the Ubiquinone form. Not so sure now about the dosage tho. Maybe you are right about him possibily not knowing about the newer forms. This is the first Doc Ive seen in 2 yrs that actually talked to me about supplementation! I will call him to let him know about my concerns. Do you think I should get the ubiquinone form or is the Coq10 others use just as effective?
I hope to get some relief soon.
