Have any of you heard of a study done in Italy about the use of COQ10 in ALS? I saw my neuro at Columbia University yesterday and she said that they have finished a small study in Italy with 16 patients using high doses of COQ 10 against a group of 50 or so patients (I forgot the number) not using it. In the group using the COQ 10, no one died over a 15 month period and progression of the disease was slowed noticebly. She said the study results are being announced next week! She suggested that I start on 400 mg daily in the meantime. The people in the study were using about 1700 mg daily. I have read about a study done on mice, but not humans. I am already using COQ10 for heart disease, but not at these amounts. Something to look forward to!
