Mitochondria.
Have used Co-Enzyme Q10 for years. It is the one supplement I value the most. Recently found PQQ & NT Factor Powder to help with energy levels also. Used Devils Claw, Bromelain , Chondromax (Chondroitin & Glucosamine) & MSM to great effect for my knee pain. Don't know if it's anti-aging. But if you're feeling better believe you're going in that direction. If only small scale.
Thanks to Bill Faloon, great lectures on You tube etc. Very inspiring. Aging needs defeating it's one ugly *********.

Using 600mg of softgel mid afternoon together with PQQ. Find energy holds better with PQQ addition. Have found no benefit to ubiquinol & it is no use unless it's a softgel. Stephen Sinatra is the man I listen to with regard to CoQ10. I tend to follow his cardiac advice. Found the CoQ10 dosage has required increase as I age. Ideally I feel I should use the CoQ10 & PQQ twice daily now. That would prevent energy drift I feel. The £ is always a factor it can get expensive. If I was going full throttle I would go with Acetyl L Carnitine / D3/ a Magnessium/ Curcumin/ Astragalus & maybe others. Lipoic Acid gives me stomach issues, as well as energy. Thanks for reading.

Seaside, have you yet raised the CoQ10 from 600mg daily to 600mg 2x daily? How long have you been on this supplement? I've been on daily child's aspirin (need to talk to doctor about fine tuning the dosage as I've heard some people need 162mg daily and a small % should take no aspirin regularly, not just if you're doing anything else to thin blood) and on Bone Restore chocolate and a half dose of Natural Calm and 2,000 mg supplement of D3 for a little extra. Also I take vitamin C. My meds are Lotrel 10/20, which I hope to soon reduce or get off, clonazepam 1mg daily ( yeah I know it's bad but I haven't escaped from Pennsylvania yet :/ ) and Pulmicort inhaler for asthma. Any comments are also welcome from anyone. I'm 65 years young.

Have tried 600mg extra today plus another PQQ tablet. Result was more energy. Perhaps not double, but more. I've been taking for approx 20-25 years. Starting off at about 30mg & rising every few years. If I remember rightly higher doses weren't available back then. I am also 65. Don't have any knowledge or comments re your regime as yet. I am on blood pressure (High) meds from my Doctor myself. I add my own supplements after consulting internet & don't bother informing Doctor. Usually you are advised not to take things. But I am careful & it is my choice.
If Vitamin C is Ascorbic Acid. I've heard a body of opinion that doesn't rate it.
Would welcome more knowledgeable opinions. When I take it I go for an Ester C, for my stomach.

Hi Seaside.
I have been using Ubiquinol (CoQ10) for years too, but recently I purchased the product called MitoQ. You can Google it and find out more information about it. I found out that basically all C0-Enzyme Q10 oral nutrients gets 90% destroyed in the liver before getting into your cells. But this company has now made a transport system for CoQ10 so that it is able to get directly into the Mitochondria where it is needed! MitoQ is a little more expensive than the natural form Ubiquinol and vitamin store Co-Enzyme Q10 (I found MitoQ the cheapest on Amazon.com) but it delivers the CoQ10 where it is suppose to go, so you get results, and your not wasting your money!
