(Information in his office) I did this and receive them by mail monthly. The reason being that I take a statin for cholesterol control for genetic reasons. So apparently enough of a link has been established now between the use of statins and the need for CoQ10.

Just today I bought from Walmart the equivalent pills to try for less $ and tonight is my 1st time. So hope they will work as well. The way I'll know is that I get a little muscle pain like a stiff neck which these pills relieve.
