Question: Is magnesium oxide an acceptable supplement or should a combination of zinc and magnesium be taken instead? Do you recommend a particular type of CoQ10?
Dr. Blaylock's Answer: Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed and will frequently cause diarrhea. I usually recommend the better absorbed forms, such as magnesium citrate or magnesium malate. The time-release form is well-absorbed and rarely causes diarrhea.
While CoQ10 is expensive, it has been shown to play a major role in health and prevention of some of the diseases of aging. It is essential for cell energy production, which makes it vital for brain and heart function.
The reduced form of CoQ10, called ubiquinol, is the most potent. A special nano-sized form dramatically increases absorption, meaning that you can take smaller, less expensive doses and get maximum effectiveness.
