CoQ10 without statins?

[dragongirl]

Does anybody take this who is not using statins? I just wondered about benefits and side-effects and how much to take if it is of benefit. Or is it a waste of space??? TIA

CoQ10 is essential for the mitochodria in the cells to work properly and manufacture celular energy. Statins screw up CoQ10 production which is why it's sometimes necessary as a supplement.
If you're not taking statins, and have sufficient animal foods in your diet, there should be plentiful CoQ10 in your system.

All the best,

Ooh good. Really didn't want to start taking tablets at the moment! Thanks, Fergus.
