| I have been taking co q 10 in this form recently and have noticed a huge difference in my energy and mood. Whlie it hasn't made any noticeable difference to my rosacea it has helped me to maintain a much more positive attitude to it. I am hoping it may also help the symptoms with continued use. Co q 10 supports mitochondrial function and there seems to be some evidence for mitochondrial dysfunction/atp production in rosacea). | |

| Hi Caran,
Co Q10 isn't one of those cox/lox inhibitors is it? Thanks, Melissa |

No, CoQ10 is ubiquinone, the next-to-last electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (cytochrome c is the last one). Red light increases cytochrome c activity, so CoQ10 would be an interesting supplement to combine with RLT. _________________ KNOWLEDGE = POWER |

| Thanks Steve!
I think I will add that to my RLT regimen. I just happen to have a bottle that I started and then stopped because I was taking so many supplements last year. Best wishes, Melissa |

| Hi Bonnie,
It is red light therapy and you can read more about it in the low level light section here: http://forum.rosaceagroup.org/viewforum.php?f=23 Some people have had much success with diminishing their rosacea symptoms by doing red light and/or infrared light therapy. Lots of good info and reading. Best wishes, Melissa |
