A member asked:
Im 56yrs of age and have antiphospolipid syndrone and arthritis as well as raised cholesterol. is it ok to take a coq10 supp?

Should be okay: There is some evidence that coenzyme q10 can provide some cardiovascular protection. Also good for muscle health in patients taking statins to lower cholesterol.

Absolutely: Coq10 is what is known as a "conditional nutrient" because we make it in our bodies. As we get older it becomes more difficult to make it and we all require it as a nutrient as we get older. That is why it is called "conditional".
