Wonderful, Phyllis! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phyllis" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 8:24 PM Subject: COQ10 and Vitamin E > I have taken the alternative medicine route for the most part (though I do > take 5 mg selegiline 1/da) and one of the things that is screened (in one of > the alternative medicine modalities) are my supplements to confirm the > quantities and to some extent the combinations that are right for me..

When 1600IU of Vit E were added the > total daily dosage for me went to 800 mg per day. I take 800IU of E + 400mg > COQ10 twice daily with a meal.
