Since your doctor recommended it, did s/he make any suggestions about what
brand or how much?

The size of a person and the statin dose seem to be significant in
determining to CoQ10 dose.

Supplementing with CoQ10 is not cheap even with buying at WalMart.

Was the CoQ10 recommended because you're being prescribed a statin,
which depletes CoQ10?

PDR for Nutr supplements rec 50-200 mg / day depending on statin dose.
Critical to take with largest meal of the day since fat is critical
for absorption.

60 mg a day did NOTHING for me

90 mg a day did NOTHING for me

ask him 'what are you supposed to feel if this med is working' cause i
haven't figured that out either!

good luck

Currently taking 100 mg. a day of COQ10 by Nutriceutical brand, sold by
Vitacost.com. Don't know if it's a fad or it's really helping. My doc.
takes it.
