Question about Coq10 and whole food vitamins

 I’ve seen great benefits in my health from just taking herbs (many you also recommend). But I also seen many great reviews on other products, especially Coq10. What are your thoughts on it? If you’re over 20 and/or very active do you need to be supplementing with it?

The primary effect of CoQ10 in short is to raise adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels.  But CoQ10 is a very expensive supplement, especialy considering that you need at least 200mg daily to be effective. There are many other ways to raise ATP without the high cost that you are only paying due to the patent on it, not the cost of production.  A simple method is taking magnesium malate and/or malic acid.  Both magnesium and malic acid raise  ATP levels. Periwinkle increases ATP to the brain.  Suma can be used to increase oxygen utilization by cells increasing their ATP production.  And milk thistle also raises ATP levels.

ATP is the fuel for our cells that allows them to function and to more importantly to function properly.

Or would a healthy liver produce enough on its own? In which case would taking some healthy liver herbs like Milk Thistle and Dandelion be better?
I’m debating whether to take it as I’m active and heard a lot of good benefits.

I would go with the milk thistle seed.  Bitters would also be a good idea to help support proper liver function.

What are your thoughts on whole food Vitamin and mineral supplements? If I eat healthy and take whole food powders with Green grasses (wheat, kamut, etc), bee pollen, Spirulina, msm, etc. (at least 20 grams a day) do you think it would be a waste of my money to also buy whole food vitamins capsules to take? What about whole food mineral capsules? Are there any specific whole food vitamins or minerals you would recommend extra of (C, Mag, B6, etc)?

With a good diet and what you are taking you should be getting sufficient nutrition.  Whether or not you need any additional nutrients would depend on if you have something you are dealing with.  If you have a lot of stress then additional vitamin C would be good.  If you have bone problems then silica and D may help.  Etc.
