   Except for the Vitamin E is it safe—actually, Co-enzyme 10 does not help reduce weight but it is an excellent vitamin for heart health. I’ve been taking it for years along with garlic and vitamin C and you should see my blood pressure!!–Always a svelte 110/68 or close to around that value. Co enzyme 10 is a powerful antioxidant and studies have proven that 100mg of CQ10 with 1000mg garlic and 500mg vitamin C reduces both, the upper and lower value of the blood pressure. In addition to that is it hailed as the anti-aging vitamin, but I am not so sure of that.

   With Vitamin E you have to be careful not to overdose because too much can actually affect your retina in a negative way(that’s what my ophthalmologist said). The rest of the vitamins is what you pretty much find in multivitamins, so it is pretty safe to take them all at the same time. My doc suggested that I take vitamins in the mornings instead of the evening because vitamins boost the energy.
   If you want to lose weight effectively, I’d like to make a suggestion: eat 1/2 of a large grapefruit while drinking coffee in the mornings and if you like yogurt, eat plenty of that afterwards. I have lost plenty of weight and inches, especially on my belly just with the yogurt alone. Caffeeine is a natural fatburner(but only up to 7 cups per day are safe), and one of the best natural fat burners are grapefruit. Eating grapefruit and drinking coffee at the same time boosts the natural fat-burning ability of the grapefruit and I can tell you from personal experience that it works well. Yogurt has a tendency to clean out your digestive system which leads to additional weight loss and for some reason does it look to me(and others), that yogurt also burns belly fat. So give that a try for a month before you spend a lot of money on vitamins. I have been taking Co-enzyme 10 for years but did not lose weight with it–I also take Vitamin C for years without any weight loss!!

   Any vitamins we take are considered medication by the medical community–weather it is prescribed drugs or vitamins or OTC drugs—they all are considered medication and should not be taken without consulting a doctor.

   I had gone through some terrible vitamin A overdose with a resulting vitamin B deficiency and a possible lack of calcium, even though I took very good multivitamins. Some vitamins, if they build up in the body prevent the absorption of other vitamins and so we should be careful not to take them without a physicians consent and advice….good luck
