megatari Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 My neurological chiropractor told me to start taking COQ-10 daily, and since starting my Whole30 I am very cautious about labels, I've learned the hard way!! I discovered that you cannot find a COQ-10 without rice in it! Anyone else run into this?? I have multiple sclerosis and am transitioning from Whole30 into AIP, so rice is out period whether it's my Whole30 or not. Any suggestions? TIA!

Robin Strathdee Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi megatari! I'm sorry you didn't get any takers on this one! I'm going to move it to the supplements section in hopes you get more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia B Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Megatari, I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but you can try and get COQ-10 from natural sources. Organ meats are great source of nutrients and COQ-10 particularly. One ounce of liver/heart contains 2-3 milligrams of it. There are several threads here (let me know if you need the link) about ways to incorporate them to your meal plan). Another great source of COQ-10 is fatty fish - salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines. You get small amounts of it from spinach, cauliflower, broccoli and strawberries (all ads up, right?). COQ-10 is a fat-soluble, so make sure to eat these veggies with fat (why would we want to eat anything without it anyways, eh?). I remember that Chris Kresser recommended this one. However it contains soy. So out on whole30, but might be tolerated after. I think it might not work well with AIP tho. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bids52 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Will vitamins like Centrum be good supplements for this diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psirene Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Doesn't look like it. The generic Centrum Adult vitamins have sucrose, modified food starch (though it doesn't say the source), and sunflower oil (which I think is discouraged, but I'm not positive). Logically, if you are eating by the template, with lots of whole foods, you shouldn't need a multivitamin in the first place. Lots of fresh veggies, good diversity, and lots of it, and you should be fine. If you have other medical conditions that require some sort of supplementation, that's a whole different story. ETA - also, give this a read. Should give you some additional information - http://whole9life.com/2012/02/supplement-evaluation-checklist/.
