I don't know if I posted about Dr. Sinatra's position on statins and heart health in general, but I so much respect and follow his info. I don't take statins and I'm pretty sure never would. On my 2014 lipid panel, my MD tested COQ10 and I see it's a little lower than is optimal, so I've upped my COQ10 regardless and take 200mg at least daily. Some days take 300mg. He talks about COQ10 in his comments. I didn't read thru this whole thread so maybe it was mentioned, but worth mentioning again can't hurt.
