I also took the liquid Qunol CoQ10, but didn't have an issue with the taste. You are supposed to keep the Turmeric in the fridge after opening, which helps. I just chugged both and kept a big glass of water nearby to help wash them both down. I also take 2 Turmeric capsules each day. If those can help not to have to take some other drug with more side effects, then I'm all for it. Mayo wanted to stick me on Cymbalta or Lurica and i refused. Aren't they basically another version of Gabapentin anyway? I already take 4 Gabapentin at night, as well as Baclofen, two PM tablets, two 600mg extended release arthritis formula Tylenol and Zyrtec. Enough to knock out a horse, but not me!! I fall asleep pretty easiy at first but wake up with shoulder, neck and/or feet pain or all of the above. Geez, its fun getting old.
