A member asked:

I understand there are several different types of coq10, which is best for a 45 year old not on statins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NOT: The data on the beneficial effects, especially the lipid lowering effects, of CoQ10 is weak. Moreover, there's no way to know if one formulation is superior to another since a head to head comparison has never been published. (if it is published, the research will be conducted by a drug company and will be biased!)
