Ubiquinol increases saliva

[Sharon]

Hi Wal, the study I found only mentioned results after 30 days on 100mg and I only experienced a major improvement after 45 days, so you may get better results soon even on the 100mg if you keep it up.

Hi Wal,
I've been on the ubiquinol 100 milligrams for about two weeks now. You know, it seems that I'm not using as much throat lozenges as I used to. Let's hope it's due to increased saliva production although some days I'm not quite sure.   I'm going to give it about one month and see where Saliva production is at. Let's cross fingers and hope the best for all of us. 🤗

Give it at least 45 days guys!
I've been on the Ubiquinol for over 2 months now and it's the ONLY thing that has made any difference for me.
I'm not taking anything else (besides Omega3 and Vit. C.).
I had close to zero saliva production before from my parotid glands and now I have an abundance!
Truly a miraculous supplement!

I've been taking ubiquinol for 2 weeks now and saw quick, dramatic improvement with eye moisture within a few days. Around that time or a little before, I also discontinued fish oil supplement and doubled flaxseed oil supplement, so that may have contributed to eye moisture improvement, also. I know, not wise to change more than one thing at a time because then it's harder to tell which is working, but I was running out of fish oil and decided not to replace that source of omega 3 since I was also taking flaxseed per ophthalmologist's suggestion (ETA: though ophth did not specify how much flaxseed oil).

No difference in saliva yet, but not worried about that because it hasn't been that long, my eyes are more of a problems than my mouth, and I can take Evoxac (but would prefer natural remedy) for my mouth.

Interesting, someone else also posted improvement in eye moisure with the Ubiquinol.
What brand are you taking?

I tried it for eyes because of that one other person on this board and a few others elsewhere when I searched "ubiquinol dry eyes". Dry eyes is my worst and most debilitating SJS symptom.

I'm taking NOW brand because other's have attested to its efficacy and it gets good ratings. I found it cheapest at luckyvitamin.com where I also found LifeExtension Super Bio-Curcumin and NOW D Mannose the cheapest. You just have to  meet a $49 minimum purchase to get free shipping but that's not hard to do when you calculate timing to stock up.

Thanks for the info Sunshine, I'm also taking NOW brand.

[Sharon]

Yes.

sharon do u take ubiquinol together with omega, i mean at the same time?

Bluegardenia ..... I am not Sharon, but I take CoQ10 and Omega 3 supplements and I take them at the same time, with a meal. In fact, I take most of my supplements at the same time, with food. I do have 4 supplements that need to be taken on an empty stomach, so I take them earlier, an hour before I eat, but the rest I take together, with a meal. 

I hope CoQ10 works for you. It has has helped me.

I'm not Sharon either, but i take ubiquinol with my flaxseed oil supplement because the instructions on the ubiquinol bottle say to take with a fat containing meal. I take it in the morning when I also add olive oil to my oatmeal.

[bluegardenia]

thanks sunshine and jasper. i cannot swallow any kind of pill,even soft gel, so i open theem and put on food. i dont think its the same but thats what i can do.
in the past days i had noticed i great improvement in my saliva after just 15 days of ub quinol but all of a sudden im dry again, very dry so in quite desperate. its almost 25 days i believe i take it

[SunshineDaydream]

All of a sudden dry again is disappointing, bluegardenia. Can you think of anything you changed in your routine, diet, medication, supplement or environment recently that might have caused that?

[Sharon]

Hi Bluegardenia,
I do take the ubiquinol together with an Omega 3 capsule.
It's important for its absorbtion.
Not certain things work the same when you open the capsules as they have to pass through
the stomach acid, but if it was working for you before I recommend to continue.
There's a build-up effect with the ubiquinol so things should get better.
