Taking lipitor and had pain when walking. After coq10 I can now walk without pain. Had to walk five or six steps to get loosened up before but now I don't.

I was advised by a doctor to start taking CoQ10 to counteract muscle pain caused by statins. I still had pain. Then another doctor told me that I should take 1200 mg. per day to feel any results. I've done this for about three years now. One time I switched brands and developed muscle pain again. I'm still taking 1200 mg. per day. I still have some pain, but nowhere near as much as before I starte...

Well, not myopathy (muscle pain) -- but muscle weakness. While cycling I realized my strength was much reduced. After discovering that statins like the Crestor that I take reduce CoQ10 as part of the same process it used to reduce cholesterol -- and Coq10 is needed to produce the ATP that muscles use for their energy, I tried it. I saw an immediate and very significant increase in strength. Admittedly, if I had been sedentary, I probably would not have noticed a difference. There have been trials that proved this affect, but the medical community tends to ignore them. I started with 200mg once a day but found that the affect wore off. So I have been taking 200mg twice a day (using Jarrow's formula)Read More Read Less

Although my body mass index is 19, I had systolic blood pressuse of 180-190. I now exercise for 30-45 mins daily - quick walk, plus gentle jog and take 100mg Q10 with my breakfast my range has now dropped to 105 - 138. I no longer need help from the GP.

Prescribed 200mg/day for statin induced muscular pain. It did reduce some of the severity, but the longer I stayed on the simvastatin the more the simvastatin seemed to take over until the coq10 was no longer effective. Tried this with Pravastatin too... It only helped a little for a short time. It took weeks to reduce the muscle pain to a tolerable level after stopping the statin.

There are 2 types of CO-Q10, Ubiquinone for under 35 years of age. Ubiquinol for over 35 years of age. I was on vacation when I had Palpitations. Went on line.Stephen Sinatra,M.D. Cardiologist advised CO-Q 10 50-100 mg. It worked by the next day.I took 100 MG AM/PM.I did not know about the 2 types and used Ubiquinone.Now I take both types. It is a tremendous supplement for many things. I use the Vitacost brand. Note:I only use supplements that are recommended by MD's.Holistic doctors.

I have taken both Ubiquinol (100 mg.) form of Co-q 10 and Grapeseed extract (200mg) for many years. It takes a long time to work. The periodontist recommended gum surgery some years ago, but I didn't do it. My teeth are now tight and my gums no longer bleed. I take some other supplements such as vit D, krill oil & multivit and use a toothpaste with tea tree oil which is a natural anti-microbial. I am a 70 year old RN and a firm believer in combining alternative and conventional medicine. Too many doctors are trained to only treat disease rather than to maintain health.Read More Read Less

I have been on several statins as I usually after a period of 4-5 months develope muscle pain and weakness, extreme tiredness, lethargy. Changes of Statins do not seem to alleviate the problem, however, since I have been taking COQ10 200mg once daily, I have seen great improvement and seem to tolerat the statins better.

I started taking Q 10 for a couple of months I have noticed a slight increase in energy that gradually increased even more over time. I also started taking it for heart health and general health. They only "side effect" I noticed is that my fingernails seem to grow quite a bit faster. I am very satisfied with this product and shall continue to take it.

I suffer from depression, anxiety, under active thyroids & high cholesterol. I have had my illnesses under control until I took Natures Care Q10, on the advice from a pharmacist. After 2 weeks of this, I suffered depression & anxiety & thought I was losing it, until I read reviews & stopped it. Now I'm back to normal. Please seek GPs advice before taking these things. They are not safe for everyone

I had been taking astorvastatin and started feeling muscle pain, associated with it. After a few days with Co Q-10 the muscle weakness or cramping feelings have subsided significantly.
