Good product!!!
"I've been taking these for years, but been having trouble locating the big bottles locally. This is my first time ordering these from Amazon. The shipping was fast, but be careful in the summer. I'm not sure where it shipped from, but these are soft gels and were shipped with no insulation or cold pack. Therefore, they were all stuck together when they arrived. I was able to slowly tear them apart and get them out of the bottle without any apparent damage, but it took quite a while. Any longer in transit and I'm not sure any of them would have survived. Oh and this is in June before the real summer heat kicks in."
This is ubiquinone, beware of alpha tocopherol
"I bought this thinking this was ubiquinol, and later found out that the mega version is the ubiquinol form. It is still CoQ10, and while it is still technically beneficial, I would avoid this particular supplement because of the alpha-tocopherol vitamin E content.
Alpha-tocopherol is a specific form of vitamin E that inhibits the absorption of the other forms of vitamin E because it is the only form of E that has a transport protein. This may be why it is associated with negative health outcomes in high doses, because it has an inhibitory effect and it’s not that great of an antioxidant. The dose in this product isn’t extremely high, although it will still interfere with the action of all of the other seven forms of vitamin E, including the more active versions called tocotrienols, which have been found to have positive outcomes on various health issues.
in other words, I would avoid this ultra version and go for the mega version, which includes vitamin C as the stabilizer, in very small amounts.
I would also recommend researching tocotrienols."
Helped with my confusion and temporary moments of disorientation.
"I purchased these because I heard they were good for high blood pressure. I was already experiencing times where I was very confused , could not read because I continuously lost my place and was introducing people that I knew, for example my family , with different names. What in the world was going on? I was scared!!
I started taking these as directed and in a couple of weeks noticed that I no longer was experiencing those events. For the record, My blood pressure did not go down, But I was happy to have accidentally stumbled on help for my other issues."
