You can: There seems to be some good synergy between the 2 products. Uh, by the way, statins may actually have some effects on sugar control and new onset diabetes, according to a recent study. They are extremely important drugs for primary and secondary prevention of heart disease and strokes, so keep at it. Just watch ur pie hole and exercise!

No statin needed: Statin drugs deplete the body of coq10. Anyone taking a statin should take coq10 but i prefer managing glucose and HDL with diet & exercise. They are very effective.
