I've been hearing a lot about this and wondered if I should be taking it. I haven't taken Simvastatin for nearly a year after being on them for a long while.

i was told to take it because as you get older it is depleted and taking a statin depletes it more.
 
I take this on and off. I take statins and have been for years (along with other medication) and I keep hearing that this is important for statin users as they deplete the body of Q10. I'm trying not to take many additional supplements along with my current medication because I also have a 'fatty liver' and don't really want to overload it even more but it is one that comes highly recommended.
 
Carina, CoQ10 is what your body produces for 95% of its energy needs. It is completely safe and actually benefits so insanely many different health functions: bloodsugar control, bp, cardiac function, energy production, improves athletic performance, etc. I take a pharmaceutical-grade, non-synthetic CoQ10 (bio-quinone gold) every day coupled with magnesium.

Thanks for the link, looks an interesting read. I buy mine from Sainsburys (100mg) and they seem to be OK but would like to buy some high quality ones but not sure what to look for and where to get them from - any suggestions please?

Hi Carina,
I take 2x100mg of Bio-Quinone Gold daily from Pharma Nord. Not sure where it's best for you to buy it, but I get it from the Pharma Nord website and It is shipped directly to the house. Hope this helps ;)
