I wonder whether any of you keeps taking MitoQ? I have never tried it before. Would you recommend it?

First, age 37 here.

 

I used to take it then I read somewhere here (sorry I lost the reference but if you read a bit, you might find it) that MitoQ, GliSODin among others make your body accustomed to them, so when you stop, your body no longer produces the same energy without the supplements. So unless you're more elderly or really need these, it's best to wait a bit.

[Mind]

I take it off-and-on, based upon the positive research behind it. I don't take it all the time because it is kind-of expensive.

Ok I see

How often do you take it? Any benefits you have noticed?

No. There is nothing dramatic that I have noticed. It is one of those supplements that I would expect to have a small effect on the rate of aging over time, like almost everything on the market right now. I am in good shape for my age so there isn't that much too "correct", so I don't anticipate to "feel" that much from most supplements.

 

I do "feel" more energy when I take a NAD+ booster.

 

I did "feel" a little more mentally sharp when taking Magnesium L-Threonate.

I've taken MitoQ ever since I read about this Colorado study in the spring of 2018:

 

https://www.ncbi.nlm...pubmed/29661838

 

I'm a 57-year-old male with a cardiometabolic profile like this (as of last autumn -- due for another check-up soon):

 

C-Reactive Protein:  0.69 mg/L  (< 1.0 = low-risk)

Total cholesterol:  172

HDL:  62

LDL:  96

Triglycerides:  69

HbA1c:  4.6%

Fasting glucose:  87

 

Kidney function also normal despite the scare stories concerning kidney cells and MitoQ.  Liver enzymes and everything else normal.

 

I should say that I also take 20 mg of Telmisartan (Micardis) every morning to keep blood pressure down to around 115/75.  I'm a bit overweight, but exercise regularly (some HIIT, strength training, and cardio).  Actually, come to think of it, I've lost about 10 pounds since starting the MitoQ, but that may be a coincidence.  I also take many other nutritional supplements, including nicotinamide riboside (since August 2017), the K vitamins, D-3, LEF Mix, LEF Daily Health Booster, carnosine, n-acetylcysteine (to defeat a mild caffeine addiction), curcumin, benfotiamine, and many more.  I don't take any prescription medications besides the Telmisartan.

 

YMMV, but I'm feeling pretty good about taking MitoQ, and plan to continue to do so.  It's expensive, but after reading the Colorado study, it's hard to imagine what it would be better to spend my money on than something like that, along with these other nutritional interventions.

To the anonymous disliker:  I like my post even more now that you dislike it, so thanks!

I noticed a mild (but reproducible) improvement in stamina when I started taking Co-q10 decades ago in my 30s and I noticed something similar (added stamina over that from co-q010) when I added mito Q.
