Re: Co-Q10
Co-Q10 is also recommended in "The Brain Wellness Plan", by Lombard & Germano (Lombard is billed as a board certified neuro). He recommends 200 mg daily taken with a meal and cites a 1995 Harvard study published in Experimental Neurology in which "coenzyme Q10 protects against MPTP, the neurotoxin that produces symptoms of PD and causes death of essential dopamine-producing neurons". I have been taking CoQ10 off and on for about 6 months, usually 100 mg daily. I do not notice much of a change in my symptoms when I take it, but am taking it on the possibility that it may be neuroprotective and may slow the progression of the disease. It is, however, expensive!
