Date: May 02, 2007 05:52PM I wonder if all the cruciferous vegies are high in cq10 as well. Someone here, I think it was Dave Mason, said that raw peanuts are often moldy. I never liked the feeling of raw spinach burrs in my mouth afterward, but it looks like I might have to get over that.
I read that cq10 food sources have to be completely raw and unprocessed for it to be used by the body. Someone told me beets were the best source, but a google revealed nothing about it. Anyway, thnx for the link. Re: CoQ10

Date: May 03, 2007 01:38AM There is good info here, with refs and a table for food values.
[lpi.oregonstate.edu] There refs have more values but you might have to go to a library to read them. You're probably going to get the right amount if your b6 intake is adequate (enough food energy, wide variety of foods, etc), Also tocopherol content of food is probably a fairly decent surrogate marker for a good q10 presence-- avocado, sunflower seed, spinach, beet greens, chard, etc. I am skeptical that there is anything to be gained by taking in more, particularly in supplement form. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
