The compound CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is present in every single cell of your body. It is necessary for basic cell function and energy production, particularly in those most metabolically active cells in the heart muscles. Unfortunately, as we age or begin to take statin-type drugs, our CoQ10 levels decline. 

CoQ10 is not intended to serve as a replacement for statin therapy, nor should you discontinue taking any prescribed medications without discussing it with your healthcare provider.
