how frequently should we have coq10 levels tested?

I was sitting hear thinking about all the things we can do to help our hearts and other bodily functions. I realized that I altogether stopped taking my coq10 but I need to get back with it. My previous tests reflected healthy amounts, but I'm not sure if all this stress on our bodily systems degrade it.

I have never had mine tested....

I have been taking CoQ10 for many years...so for me it's not just for lyme disease. I believe it is an important nutrient.

I agree. How much do you take a day? My doctor had me on too much at one time and I lowered it and felt better. He had me on 400 when I was very fatigued. I was taking 100 and felt much better.

I started taking it for lyme and then once I finished my lyme treatment, I couldn't stop taking the coq10 or my muscles would fatigue fast. I used to take the 100mg twice a day, and now I am down to taking it only once a day. When I no longer needed to take it twice a day, i was getting headaches from it - so listen to your body. Most times your body will give you a signal when you are taking too much of something. I never had the levels tested. But it is surely good for you. As a maintenance dose, I would not recommend taking more than 100mg two times a day.

I took 200 mg twice daily for several years. (Prelyme)

Now I take on average 100mg twice daily.

Thanks all. Yes I felt better definitely on a lower dose. I will have to
sort it out as to whether 100 or 200 is what I need at this time. I'm starting back with at least the 100 today.

Bluelyme I'm only doing herbs.
