I’m in Oregon. Oregon Health Science University is the pre-eminent cardiology center for us. Which state are you located in and what is your best regional cardiac care facility?
May I ask how old you are? Did you have symptoms from you PVC's. I had several ablations but not for PVCs. I’m 74 years old. Going to increase my magnesium to 300mg. Do not what to use arrhythmia drugs.
@gjac When my EP recommended me to take magnesium his recommendation was 400 mg. You may not be taking enough to help. Also my EP said to take the citrate version of the supplement.
Has anybody had an ablation for PVCs? Did it work? What was your burden before ablation ? Or what are you doing to stop PVCs if you have not got an ablation? These are driving me crazy.
72 yo male in very good health. Exercise at least an hour per day - usually more. Had 2 ablations for PVCs. After 2nd ablation burden was almost 50%. Taking Valsartan and diltiazem (bp) and Flecainide 100mg x2/day. I get pretty good relief for several hours per day but usually have breakthrough palpitations by early afternoon. I usually get some relief by taking an afternoon walk of 2-3 miles. EP has suggested amioradone 200 mg/day. Have not started amio yet because I’m concerned about side effects. At wits end - any thoughts or suggestions?

I have no idea if this will help you but I had relentless PACs, SVTs and finally I read about Taurine. In combination with magnesium glycinate and Ubiquinol mine stopped within a few days. I can’t swear to it but I believe it was the taurine as I had been taking the magnesium for years and CoQ10, which is what Ubiquinol is, basically. It may have been the synergistic combo but I’ve read that taurine can help electrical heart issues. My primary was very excited about it. My cardiologist’s NP didn’t seem to care.

I’ve started to take heart calm by Vital Biologics. You may want to look this up and review. I’ve only been on this a day so we’ll see. Seemed to have reduced the forcefulness of the PVCs.
I take 500mg of taurine, 200mg of magnesium and 100mg Ubiquinol. I prefer to control the dosages of supplements especially since I drink electrolytes through the day so I did not want to take Heart Calm for that reason. I also need to know what, if anything, is causing a reaction. I added Ubiquinol first for a few days before adding taurine. With a formula like Heart Calm, if I have a reaction I can’t tell to what. That said many have benefited from that product.

Kaneka is the leading source of Ubiquinol version of CoQ10 was developed in Japan not China.
Kaneka has a 47 acre campus industrial center in Texas and probably makes a lot of their Ubiquinol there. When looking at labels on all brands of Ubiquinol many if not most of them used the trade mark Kaneka brand.
It is scientifically well established that Ubiquinol is far more bioavailable/bioactive version of CoQ10 than Ubiquinone CoQ10. CoQ10 is regenerative in humans (as well as many other animals) and when we age we loose the ability to regenerate ubiquinone into the bioactive form ubiquinol. https://ubiquinol.org/clinical-studies

2 ReactionsThe minerals are sourced from Canada and the coq10 comes from China where 90% of coq10 comes from.
