Tommy I've been on atorvastatin since 2014 and enough other crap beta and ace and then some and I asked My cardiologist, My EP, My Cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeons all they're opinions and In Both cases coq10 and fish oil they collectively agreed that Taking the items are ultimately better then NOT taking them, Just as with Multi vitamins, Vitamin D3* Magnesium* Potassium* and other things as well .... Much of it Vitamin wise has to do with your eating habits of course People eat bananas to get potassium not realizing perhaps potatoes Yams and Other things have More potassium then bananas Magnesium can also run low if your not getting enough in the diet... Mind you Taking a LOAD of Vitamins that you dont need can be a waste of Money Taking C in the cold and flu season "extra" is impossible since what your not using today Your Pumping out Today..... here are a couple "professional" looks at the benefits and Side effects of using CoQ10
