Can you take too much Q10?

This came up recently when someone claiming to be a doctor of some sort claimed that people can take too much Q10 - and of course totally confused the salesclerk in the retail store. He debunked all Q10 products in the store.

Looking at it objectively, I suppose that something like Q10 could be taken to excess if that meant that it would then be available as a free radical and consequently act in opposition to its intended role as an antioxidant.

However the proof that Q10 is suddenly acting as a free radical, if indeed that can be felt with the minute amounts that people buy as a supplement would be lack of energy and some type of health deterioration - a bit of a leap as most people can only afford to take 100mg or less per day.

Q10 has been clinically proven to help many ailments. But it has also been shown to be effective by many of my own clients.

Q10Sport has a formula synergy with lipoic acid that regenerates the Q10 from the free radical state back into its antioxidant form. So it is more likely that you get much more availability.

Most people will never feel the difference unless they take consistent higher amounts around the 10 - 15 capsules per day - 1000mg - 1500mg Q10 per day.

Of course nothing is totally absorbed, so only a fraction is actually available.

Unless people do some type of serious physical activity that requires the body to be pushed well beyong 'normal' physical limits they will never feel the breakthrough effect that Q10Sport produces. I have seen the massive change in myself through Jujitsu training and other physical work. When you think that you cannot go further, you just keep going - and it's a very serious surprise the first time it happens.

If you think that you will feel this from doing mediocre exercise or no exercise, then forget it.

So, in closing, for any serious professional to go around making a total nuisance of themselves and trying to introduce a false belief into salespeople who don't grasp the complex fundamentals (and it's not their job) is a breach of commercial ethics.

It is my hope that this nonsense stops. Remember, a little knowledge is sometimes a dangerous thing and in this case it's a serious lack of knowledge by a would be qualified person.
