If you are on statins you need ALOT...

It might be worth your while to the the Q-gel which is better absorbed. 300mg and above of regular costs more than
30-50mg of the Q-gel. The link is above.

CoQ-10 was known by Merck when they were making lovastatin.
(Mevacor). It was KNOWN way back that CoQ-10 was depleted by statins. Merck even took a patent for a mixture of both.
But back then CoQ-10 was not understood well, and only came in powder form, which was not soluble. So Merck dropped the combo product, and kept the secret allowing for thousands and thousands of people to get terrible consequences from lost CoQ-10 due to its blocked synthesis. It has only be recently that the "secret" became known, and more work was done on solubility. I think it is morally bankrupt what drug companies do.

The reason drug companies kept this secret is that they knew patients would not buy expensive CoQ-10 to offset the damage of a statin which was covered by insurance. It was all greed motivated.
