This website is an eye opener, specially if you still believe  your doctor knows it all. It made me think twice.

Studies with CoQ10 have mostly focused on its benefit involving certain types of cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure and hypertension. However, CoQ10 has also been evaluated for high cholesterol and in diabetes. Patients with high cholesterol levels who are placed on statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor should take additional CoQ10 in the amount of 30 to 50 mg daily or a few times a week to counteract the muscle damage from these statin drugs (consult with your doctor). Studies with CoQ10 and Parkinson’s disease have not yielded consistent results. We still have a long way to go to determine the proper clinical role and benefit of CoQ10.

CoQ10 boosts energy, enhances the immune system, and acts as an antioxidant. A growing body of research suggests that using coenzyme Q10 supplements alone or in combination with other drug therapies and nutritional supplements may help prevent or treat some of the following conditions:

• Heart Disease
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Heart Damage caused by Chemotherapy
• Breast Cancer
• Periodontal (gum) Disease
