Quite a bit of it is in heart disease.
It looks pretty promising in various forms of heart disease.
that literature, what you see is a dose response where at 1 to 200 milligrams per day of CoQ10, the average person's glucose, insulin, and blood pressure looks better than not taking it.
But the average person at 400 milligrams of CoQ10 is actually having worse blood pressure, glucose, and insulin than they were without taking it.
And the variability around that is huge.
So one person is probably gonna be worse at 100 milligrams, whereas another person might get their best
at 400 milligrams, but it's like, if you looked at the literature and you would say, where is the sweet spot where the average person is gonna be doing really good, it would be 100 to 200 milligrams a day.
But I think there are,
I've seen a lot of edge cases on either side where some people get miracles and some people get, I wouldn't say catastrophe, but they just get worse off.
So a lot of people complain about insomnia, they complain about their heart racing or heart palpitations, various things like that, overstimulation, feeling like the lights are too bright or the sounds are too strong or whatever, just hypersensory awareness.
It's not common, but it's I mean all the people don't common stuff always ask me about it's right at higher levels or No, I know I just like a hundred milligrams like normal.
They're just hypersensitive people out there Okay, and then is this rare is this like I don't know how common it is.
So what I mean what I can tell you is that Across the trials
You see some people reporting GI side effects, which is super common.
You don't see a lot of this mentioned, but you never know if they were looking for it.
Like a lot of times the side effect list is dependent on what side effects they asked about.
I think for some people that have complained about insomnia, they have thought that it was worse when they took it in the evening.
Makes sense, right?
Well, you know, OK, so I think let me set the stage for this with just kind of like
