Thanks for this — I think you saved me quite a bit of money, since I was starting to believe the hype I had read about MitoQ. However, it was hard to find any information from a non-biased source about dosage and side effects.

Thanks for your email.Yes I am verry curious in Mitoq and hope more research will be done to go forward.Thank you.

Would you recommend it for fluoroquinolone toxicity?

Hello,

I found this article very interesing and educational.
Therefore I want to give something back to you guys, namely a study I found on NCBI, “Long-term administration of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mitoquinone mesylate fails to attenuate age-related oxidative damage or rescue the loss of muscle mass and function associated with aging of skeletal muscle”.

Maybe MitoQ is not so promising after all, but please check it out for yourselves here:

Hope to have helped.
Have a good weekend & stay healty,
Chris

A study came out showing MitoQ significantly improves blood vessel dilation in older patients, in essence, reversing the biological age of blood vessels 15-20 years, but I have yet to see anyone claim significant improvements in blood pressure. I’ve only seen the mouse study data.

Has anyone notice an improvement in blood pressure?

I am diabetic with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. I have take a number of supplements which have both helped me reduce my HbA1c from 13.8 to 7.9 (so far) without insulin, and reduce my neuropathy from feeling like my entire body has been doused in gasoline and set on fire to now just some minor tingling in my toes after I’ve been laying down for several hours. The most recent addition was mitoQ. Since taking it my HbA1c has reduced from 8.6 to 7.9, I’ve lost two belt notches (haven’t weighed), and my cataracts have improved substantially to where I no longer strain to drive at night. I take 20mg/day and I have more energy, sleep less, and am not constantly hungry.

Hello Joe,

How about this recent study:

The targeted anti‐oxidant MitoQ causes mitochondrial swelling and depolarization in kidney tissue

Any comments?

In my MitoQ trial of 3 months at 2 capsules daily I often experience sleeplessness and wonder if anyone else has this side effect?

I have been taking MitoQ for 6 weeks , but have noticed stomach tenderness and a “bloating” effect. My appetite also decreased( which was not a positive effect for me). I have recently stopped and the symptoms seem to have eased. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these stomach symptoms-or if it is a co-incidence. I was taking 2 x 5mg tablets a day–as recomeneded on the bottle

Note a likely downside for people with chronic kidney disease. Research suggests that MitoQ might be useful in diabetic kidney disease or ischemia reperfusion injury (strictly from animal studies so far.) However, according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29123192, in a mouse model of CKD the mitochondria-targeting part of the MitoQ molecule damaged kidney mitochondria, potentially impairing kidney function. Another antioxidant that targets the mitochondria, SS-31, produced no such harm.

ATP (adinotriphosphate) is energy it’s production is beneficial, mitoQ slowers ATPs production then how it gives you energy?
MitoQ increases free radicals, they are harmful? are they?.
please explain.

In reply to Pp.

Thanks PP, fair call, each to their own.

Here’s a quote from that article:

“MitoQ treatment dose dependently increased the proportion of SSEA1-negative cells, as a possible sign of impaired stemness of the iPSC. This was not associated with increased cell death.”

Notice that the researchers say that it’s a “possible” sign of impaired stemness. Yet the cells didn’t actually die. So they are already questioning their own conjecture of impaired stemness due to SSEA1-negativity.

SSEA1-positive cells are found in around 50% of adenocarcinomas (a type of cancer) and are indicative of Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

And yet increasing SSEA1-negative cells is bad? SSEA1 positive cells are highly tumorigenic (in vivo) and can turn into SSEA1 negative. [R – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19427293%5D

Also, the variance to N value ratios on the study’s graphs are appalling when matched with their conclusions.

I’m at least going to keep taking it. If anything this only adds to my case. Thank you.

I just stopped mitoq after 1 gear taking it due to it ability to destruct neural stem cells. Would recommebd adding a word of caution on that :
