How much co-q10 should i take if on 10 mg. of simvastatin? what does it do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
100 mg: The formation of cholesterol and coenzyme Q in the body share a common pathway .So if you block the formation of cholesterol by a statin such as Simvastatin you also block the formation of CQ10 thus reducing the enzymes level in your body.CQ10 is essential in generating energy for the body's normal metabolism . As a preventive supplement,it's benefit is not certain. The average dose is 100 mg.
