A friend mentioned he was using CoQ10 (along with his statin) to offset muscle weakness he was feeling. Anyone here getting any benefit from this coenzyme?

I take it is it helping the jury is still out.

Causes lack of ability to punctuate, obviously.

Let us know if you try it Ken. Currently on Atorvastatin.

I don't have muscle weakness. I have muscle stiffness from the statins.

My wife is a retired orthopedic surgeon. She does not think it works. One of her former partners thinks it MIGHT. The jury is out he says.

I took it for 6 months. It made no difference to me personally. I quit.

We're all looking for the miracle pill.

I bought a bottle. I'll try it and if I don't see any improvement, I won't buy a second bottle.

Personally, I haven’t seen much effect in my patients. The ones who like supplements swear it works, the rest pretty much give up on it within a month or two.

I don’t think it hurts, but positive effect I doubt.

If everyone who thinks they need it buys 1 bottle, the sellers will be ecstatic. Let’s see some large scale, double blind studies in a reputable journal that show it works, THEN buy it. Obviously the makers aren’t doing such studies- it might burst their bubble....

Some people believe anything. Those are likely the ones this helps.

My office manager is this way. She goes to a chiropractor for EVERYTHING. She absolutely believes!

Can you say PLACEBO EFFECT, boys and girls????

Exactly!
