Co Q10 anecdotal report - My BP is AWESOME! [View all]
My doctor told me several months ago that despite my protests, she was going to have to put me on meds, with my readings averaging about 145/100. After trying three types, and having side effects on all of them, I bought a home BP monitor and showed her that at home I was more like 133/88. Not great, but better than in the office, so I seemed to have a touch of "white coat syndrome". I bargained with her to keep me off meds as long as I checked it daily, kept exercising, and ate healthier.
Two months later, I was still at about 130/85. Then I read online that Co Q10 had shown in some studies to reduce BP readings by up to 10 points, after taking it for 6 or more weeks. I started Co Q10 3 months ago (100mg/day), and my BP is now averaging about 110-120/65-75.
Sure, this is anecdotal, and YMMV, but I think it is working for me.
