Amazing for fatigue from mold toxcity. No soy. Absorbable with fat
"I have mold toxcity and along with this mold often comes food intolerances, MCAS, reactions from food. I have histamine intolerance, problems with FODMAP, inbalanced hormones such as high estrogen, just to name a few. Dr Jill Christa break the mold book suggested taking Coq10 especially if you got exhausted easily. And this one worked! Later down the road, I was afraid this was a poor quality Coq10 so I switch to a diff brand. I started having issues but at time thought it was my MCAS throwing kinks into things. I stopped taking Coq10 altogether. A year later, I finally found a mold doctor and he wanted me to take Coq10 again. I bought the supplements he sold at his office which is a pharmaceutical high quality brand. Intregrative theurapeutics. On one end, it felt it was helping the fatigue. On other, it was aggravating me. SoI looked at the back of the bottle. Soy. Soy increases estrogen. I already have high estrogen and soy always aggravate me. Estrogen stimulates mast cells. Gelatin is also high histamine. The fillers in the high quality one just had some contradictions for me. My doc also told Me to give the Coq10 to ask members of family. My teen daughter also started being moody once I put her on the one containing soy. Could BBS a coincidence but as soon as I switch to a non-soy Coq10, she stopped being moody.
I decided to pull up my orders of the Coq10 I had bought plus the bottles that had aggravated me. All of them had soy except this brand. I decided to switch back and low and behold, it was just the fillers. It also uses rice flour as a filler which is low FODMAPs. In regards to previous reviews saying it’s not absorbable and high quality containing lipids; lipids is just fatty acids. COQ10 is fat soluble meaning it doesn’t mix with water. It mixes with fat. To absorb this one that isn’t mixed in an oil, you just take it with a meal that has fat. That’s it. That’s why the other ones are in a gelatin capsule to carry the oil and Coq10. You can actually test this theory by breaking opening a capsule or getting straight Coq10 from bulk supplements and try mixing in water. It won’t dissolve. You mix the this one in fat like say some ghee or even some oil and bam, it combines beautifully. That’s why some bottles of Coq10 say take with a meal and the gelatin that have oil, say take whenever. That all being said, personally, some of the “higher quality” brands contain soy which imo soy causes alot of issues for many and therefore your not truly getting a higher quality supplement. Soy is cheap anyway. Finding one without all the problematic fillers is hard and this fits the bill. Works better imo and it’s cheaper. FYI, I normally don’t cheap out on supps. This is one I can actually save some money."
