Statins and CoQ10 Deficiency

"CoQ10 is arguably our most important essential nutrient. Its role in energy production is to make possible the transfer of electrons from one protein complex to another (within the inner membrane of the mitochondria) to its ultimate recipient, ATP."

I have been taking Q10 for a few years now and have found it really helps in my energy levels. Q10 is not a magic pill that will suddenly give you energy you never had, it does what it is supposed to do - allow the transfer of energy that you take in, to the body more efficiently. Those over 50 especially those on medication like Lipitor should be on Q10 as well.

Even for those of you not on medication, Q10 is a very valuable supplement that will help you in your day to day life, taken regularly.
