Ubiquinol increases saliva

[bluegardenia]

[ashler]

just to report that after taking Ubiquinol for 2 months it did nothing to me.

[bluegardenia]

i must say that after some wonderful days some time ago when i thought i had found the magic treatment, im dry again... sharon? does  this still work for u?

[Sharon]

Hi guys, sorry to hear it's not working for you.
Yes, it's still helping me alot and I dropped down to 100mg once a day again.
I feel "normal" again saliva-wise thanks to the Ubiquinol.

Ashler- What brand and dosage have you been taking? Do you take it with omega3 as recommended?

Bluegardenia- I know you've been opening the capsules, but maybe try swallowing them so they don't break down or whatever before they reach their destination? They're quite small the capsules so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Sharon,

I have to say that I feel better taking the ubequinol.  My saliva is still not normal but improved.  I just ordered some more.

Thanks for letting everyone know about this.  I am helped so much by the good people here!  If you haven't tried the Ubiquinol and have a very dry mouth - I recommend that you give it a trial.  It is worth a shot.

It's now day 34. I had a milder week with dry symptoms but it appears I have now taken a nasty turn again with more dryness😥 I'm thinking the Ubiniquol had nothing to do with it but rather it was my normal waxing and waning of symptoms. Someone mentioned opening capsules? Mine are gel tabs. I got the Now brand so hoping it's the right one. I had some pretty bad stress yesterday and a few days of a poor diet so I'm thinking that triggered a dry flare from mild to bad. Who knows. It's so frustrating. My only symptom is dry mouth so I was really hoping this would work as docs don't know what's wrong with me😕

[Sharon]

Kathy- Thanks for letting us know you're having some relief with the Ubiquinol!
How long have yiu been taking it?

Wal- I don't recommend opening the capsules! That may harm absorbtion.
I too take the NOW brand.
We all have the waxing and waning, mine usually has a hormonal basis.
When I feel I'm flaring more I raise the dosage to 200mg.
When I'm feeling better I lower it again to 100mg.
When I first began taking ubiquinol I took 200mg for about 2.5 months.
Perhaps play around with the dosage a bit until it really kicks in.
Hope it works for you soon as it can really give much relief for this extremely annoying issue of dry mouth!

Sharon,

I've been taking it for more than five weeks.  Just bought some more.  My mouth isn't as dry and I rely less on gum and hard candy.  😃

kathy i have problems with capsules so i squeeze them on food. but i put ubiquinol in the water so the capsule becomes softer. im so happy that ubiquinol works for u

[jazzlover]

I take two of the NOW brand capsules 200mg each.

[Wal]

For those who Ubiquinol is working for, do you still have dry rough tongue even with the saliva?

[Jasper]

My tongue is not dry or rough anymore. I have a lot more saliva than I used to have. I still have difficulty with food getting stuck in my throat sometimes, but my mouth is so much improved. I no longer need to drink water at night and can go hours without drinking anything.

[Wal]

Strange that even when it seems that I have lots of saliva I still have dry rough feeling tongue. I wonder if it's a variation of burning mouth syndrome.?...

[Sharon]

Wow Jazz, you're taking more mgs than anyone else that has reported here. Did you begin with this dosage or
did you build up to it when lower doses failed?

Wal- My tongue still feels a bit dry/rough at times, but the burning tongue syndrome and thrush I was having before taking the ubiquinol are now gone.

[SunshineDaydream]

My month of 100 mg per day is up and I didn't have any change in saliva production. 

I started with 120 capsules, so I still have a bunch left. I will double down for a month (one in the morning and the other in afternoon) and see how that goes.
