For Dietary Supplementation "The first day I took this, I experienced breathing difficulty, light-headedness, and felt somewhat dizzy. I did not realize it was the supplement causing it. I saw my doctor, and they could find nothing wrong. Day two, the same thing happened shortly after taking it. That's when I researched the product here and discovered the possible side effects, which affected me. My blood pressure was elevated rather than low. I feel fine when not taking this product."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking CoQ10 without any research. After a few days of taking 100 mg, I was ill; diarrhea, cramps, vomiting for over 25 hours straight. Then dizziness and weakness. Now it is the 3rd day. The doctor and I thought food poisoning because of me eating at a buffet. But it just dawned on me to read up on this supplement. I have kidney disease and take thyroid medication. Now, I just want to know how long before I feel better and how long it takes for the CoQ10 to get out of my system?"

For Dietary Supplementation "I am a heart patient since 5 years and implanted pacemaker since 1 year. I decided to try Coenzyme Q10 for heart health and immunity, etc. I have normal BP 140/70 and sugar under control up to 150 units. My doctor said it is a waste since it does nothing. Good reviews are posted by their own people or promoters. I took it for 5 days. Believe me, I was driven to the ground on the 4th day. My BP went down to 90/60 and my sugar came down to 90. I was dizzy, fainting, and had all sorts of breathing issues and fatigue, cold sweats. My heart was stopping and skipping, etc. I threw the bottle out in my trash bin and I'm back to normal now. Wonder why it is not launched in pharmacies if it was so good. Guys, don't get deceived by the reviews and posts. Don't ever take CoQ10. How can these money-greedy donkeys introduce something that can destroy you? Please pass it on to all you know, and if possible, to WHO and other medical control facilities. Thanks."

For Dietary Supplementation "I had taken this religiously 10 years ago at fairly high doses. It really gave me energy. Older now, having developed a lot of sensitivities, I tried it again for fatigue and found it actually made me more tired and dizzy. I stopped the supplement and got better, then tried it again and had the same symptoms. A powerful lesson for me that supplements can have very different effects on different people depending on their physiology."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking this to lower my blood pressure. It worked! It was so effective that I didn't need to combine it with my blood pressure medication. Taking both lowered it too much to where I felt dizzy and lightheaded, so I ditched the blood pressure meds. I've been rejuvenated ever since! My recommendation is to take it early in the morning."
