Re: Need to be sure about COQ10, don't want to DIE!
I think that it is ALWAYS best to start out with a small dosage and build yourself up --especially if you have reservations about the high dosage suggested on this site.
In the book Clan of the Cave Bears, they would always take tiny tiny amounts of each herb in order to find out what effect it has on the body. It's wise to treat your body the same way.
I am a prime example of a person that should NOT take CoQ10 anywhere near the recommended dosage on this site. I find I get scary heart symptoms when I even take over 400mg!
My chiropractor muscle tested me and my body said not to go over 100mg a day. No wonder.
Anyway, listen to your intuition, no matter how safe people say something is and no matter how much they say to take.
I am the kind of person that has to really wrestle with this because it's my "all or nothing" nature to want to rush into things. Maybe you WOULD benefit from the high dosage. But easing into it would be wise.
