Everyone on statins should be on CoQ10

Updated: Mar 13, 2023

According to the British Journal of General Practice, "Under the 2014 NICE guidelines, 11.8 million (37%) adults in England aged 30–84 years, including almost all males >60 years and all females >75 years, require statin therapy."



Coenzyme Q10


Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, high molecular weight compound produced by the body for the basic functioning of cells. It is synthesised endogenously on a branch of the mevalonate pathway, which also produces cholesterol. CoQ10 plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism that produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency for muscle contraction and other cellular processes. Organs with high energy demands, such as the heart and liver, have the highest concentrations of CoQ10.
