I agree. I bought a dozen freshly baked very cinnamony rolls this AM . I eat one bun every AM with coffee and will not worry about it.

My Safeway bakes large very sweet cinnamon rolls that I buy whenever available. They sell out fast. My target INR is 2.5-3.0. I adjust my dose If INR is under 2.0 or over 4.0.( using the 10% rule) I truly see no consistent cinnamon effect. I do not know the type of cinnamon Safeway uses, but it...

This quote from a longer article. "And cassia cinnamon-the most common inexpensive cinnamon sold in the United States- contains high levels of a compound that can thin blood. So it can be dangerous for people with heart problems who take the blood thinner warfarin; an alternative spice is...

INR 4.3 to 3.5 one week no CoQ10. Reduced weekly dose 19mg to 17.5mg about 10%. I do not recommend CoQ10 Life Extension formula for a patient on warfarin

I was disappointed that Life Extension offered no side effects from CoQ10 when I spoke to a "scientific advisor". I looked into the compound further and found shilajit is found oozing from rocks, a form of pitch and fulvic acid comes from humus.! You wonder about these supplement companies...

I almost forgot........I have stopped taking the Life Extension formulation of CoQ10 with shilajit and fulvic acid.

Unexpected result first week on CoQ10! Unexpected result first week on CoQ10! My INR and PT tonite were 4.3 and 42.7" after a week on 100mgm CoQ10. I am using the Life Extension formulation with added BioPQQ.10mg and shilajit fulvic acid complex 100mg. My other medications are all stable . The...

Thanks this is useful information. I have been diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica(muscular rheumatism) and take prednisone 5 mg /day. This is a very low dose but high doses while very helpful are contraindicated. I still have muscle pains so one of the reasons I decided to try CoQ10 was in...

Sorry, I never owned a motor cycle. I was in the armed forces for a long time. So many guys were hurt on their cycles, we called them murdercycles.

Hi Pellicle, Yes I intend to test weekly until I rule out an adverse effect from the CoQ10. My weekly dose of warfarin is 19 milligrams 3,2.5,2,5,3,2.5,2.5,3 milligrams

OK, tonite INR 2.7, tomorrow I start Life Extensions CoQ10 I am persuaded my 87 year old mitochondria might benefit from some support. I will let the panel know if I notice any effect good or bad and also if the supplement seems to interfere with my sweetspot warfarin dose of 19mgm/weekly. Alice...

My wife Alice is 86, has a pacemaker and is in borderline CHF. I have heard of CoQ10 for years. How it contributes to hearthealthy Japanese longevity, that Dr Weil the syndicated columnist and alternative medicine guru takes it , etc. I have decided to give it a try for both of us.. As with most...

Hi I found this video instructive. Sometimes Alice and I waste a strip even after a lot of milking. We use the Tenderlett lancet which seems to take a shallow slice and not hurt as much as the Softclix. The rubber band is a great idea. Going to try it!

I remember a case report some time ago about an Indian man(from India) who received an early St Jude mitral mechanical and then was lost to follow up . When he was finally located many years later he was doing fine working with elephants. He had never taken anticoagulants! I wonder how many of...

I agree. The recommended therapeutic range for Alice is INR 2.0-3.0. I try to keep her close to 2.0.

Hi ElectLive, After going back to the early reviews we decided to stay with warfarin, Thanks Marty
