Bill,
I just started taking the bio-available form of CoQ10 and the results are life changing in a very positive way! I have autoimmune thyroiditis, fibromyalgia and test borderline positive for Lupus. Along with that comes aching joints, muscles, bones, connective tissue and recently, spider veins! Within three days of taking this, my aches and pains are reduced by at least 50% and the spidey veins (not spidey senses) are disappearing!
I also asked my husband to start taking it. He has a torn meniscus (knee cartilage) that had us at an Orthopedic surgeon last month contemplating surgery. He has (had) a lot of swelling and pain. I asked him how his knee was feeling last night and the response I received was "what knee?".
Here's just one of the hundreds of links that can be found about this enzyme (below). In addition to reducing inflammation, it may have promise in lengthening telomeres in DNA as the fat and water soluble form purportedly penetrates the Mitochondria in every cell. So sorry to hear about your pain. I know, its not fun. Not at all. Best Wishes!
