Quotes from: http://www.raysahelian.com/coq10.html "I personally believe that high doses are not needed, and may even be unhelpful or detrimental. I would not feel comfortable recommending to my patients to take more than 50 mg, or maximum 100 mg, a day, for long term use unless as a necessary treatment of a medical condition." "Patients with high cholesterol levels who are placed on statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor should take additional CoQ10 in the amount of 10 to 50 mg daily, or a few times a week, to counteract the muscle damage from statin drugs (consult with your doctor). We still have a long way to go to determine the proper clinical role and benefit of this nutrient. Thus far it appears low dose usage a few times a week is reasonable." "Individuals on cholesterol medicines of the statin class such as Lipitor and others, may consider taking 30 to 50 mg a few times a week since statins decrease blood CoQ10 levels." Based upon his statements, do you think my 100mg a day is adequate for being on a statin? Or should I drop it to every other day? The higher doses seem to be for other conditions, like Parkinson's What do you suggest? Maybe I should keep the 100mg since I'm on one of the strongest statins (Crestor). |
