Neither: The hard core evidence base for ubiquinone pathway supplements to avoid statin associated myalgias is pretty scarce. Some investigators quibble over doses, arguing that higher doses may be useful. There may be some subsets of patients that may benefit based on lab value measurements, but it's certainly not universal. Debating on type of non-proven supplements is not useful. I don't use these.
