CoQ10

[JenniferG]

My dd9 weighs 58lbs. Starting CoQ10 and other antioxidants. Is there a weight dose?

 

What other antioxidants are you using?

DD8, 53 lbs, takes 100mg once a day in the morning. Initially, she felt much better on it. Lately, fatigue has returned (have used it for 2 months). But I believe her issues are different than yours, so I wouldn't draw any conclusions from our experience.

 

As for other antioxidants, we use

• 
   
  
• milk thistle (silymarin) 300mg once a day to support the liver
  
• occasional resveratrol for DS/lyme as an anti-inflammatory/detox (DD is allergic to it)
  
• occasional alpha lipoic acid on days they complain of muscle pain, brain fog or a general sense of inflammation, also use it when they're fighting colds to help with detox
  
• have used vitamin C thru the winter. Not clear is it helped keep them healthy. I will run out next week and probably won't refill until the fall, as the kids are tired of taking so many pills
  
• psyillium husk - helps with stool softness/regularity.
  
• B6 as a glutathione precursor

She got very itchy and had a bit of hives.
