“We know that millions of North Americans are taking cholesterol-lowering drugs and are not being told these prescription drugs are robbing their heart of coenzyme Q10.”
Uhm, my cardiologist had me taking Co-Q-10, 400 mg a day along with the statins. Surely he isn’t the only one who knows about it.
My dad took statins for 20 years.
Not once did his cardiologist mention coq10.
When I insisted he ask his doctor about it the doctor replied along the lines of ‘we really don’t know for sure if statins lower coq10 or whether it’s safe to take coq10 long term’.
So my dad never took it.
Licensed cardiologist associated with a teaching hospital BTW gave this reply less than 5 years ago.
I double dog dare you to convince the 75yr old to do something his GoD MD told him he wasn’t sure was safe long term.

Taking CoQ-10 concurrently with statins is feckless.
