CoQ10 with Omega-3

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound essential for mitochondrial energy production and acts as an antioxidant. The body produces it naturally, but levels decline with age. The evidence for statin-related muscle pain (myopathy) is the most clinically relevant: statins block CoQ10 synthesis, and supplementation shows some benefit in reducing muscle symptoms in some patients, though trials are mixed. For heart failure, CoQ10 at 300mg daily has RCT support for modest improvements in symptoms and outcomes. Evidence for general energy, athletic performance, and anti-aging is more limited. Ubiquinol (the reduced form) may have better bioavailability than ubiquinone, particularly in older adults. Standard dose is 100-300mg daily with food.
