Dosage per day for L-arginine and Q10

[liber]

Hi chaps,

It's all in the title really. Dosage per day for L-arginine and Q10. I still have to wait 8 weeks to see a Urologist. Want to be proactive so along with VED I want to take supplements also.

I tried searching but struggled finding the information. As ever all advice is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.......John

I take 3000mg of L-a, but have taken as much as 5000 at one time as an ED med. 200 mg of Q 10- Good luck, Inkhorn

I've seen dosage amount for L-Arginine mentioned several times at 1,000mg daily. That's what I take, 500mg twice daily.

I'm not sure about the Q-10, i'm 50 and Q-10 isn't recommended. Ubiquinol is the Q-10 alternative for those above 40, I believe. I don't take it, so can't say dosage.

Forum members are using L-Arginine between 1000mg to 3000mg daily. You may want to check your blood pressure to see if it is OK to take it, on the package is mentioned that may reduce blood pressure.
CoQ10 and Ubiquinol can be  between 100mg to 300mg daily. As csus has stated, if younger than 40 can try CoQ10, if older Ubiquinol will be better.

thanks all for the feedback

is this a good plan

think I'll go with:

2000mg L-Arginine

200mg CoQ10

I'm 52 but frankly I cant afford Ubiquinol. Is it worth taking CoQ10 in my circumstance?

cheers and many thanks....John

The reason to take Ubiquinol is that is cheaper than Ubiquinol. Our body change the CoQ10 to Ubiquinol, but after the age of 40 this process is slowing down. The capability of our body to do this process is very individual. We have some treads/debates in the subject, you may want to read them and to see how you can check if the CoQ10 is efficiently changed to Ubiquinol in your body.
Try to find cheaper sours for Ubiquinol and reduce the dosage.
