On Medication For Hypogonadism And High Cholesterol. Healthy Lifestyle. What Is Medical Result Of Taking Co Q-10 Supplements?

41 yr. old male, 0.8 ml testosterone cypionate weekly IM (hypogonadism), 20 mg Lipitor daily (high chol),
exercise 3/wk. play & coach soccer...
I've recently heard of co q-10 supplementation. research from Mayo Clinic says NOT to take with vigorous exercise. Other medical sites say it is good for exercise, especially recovery, and some say the jury is still out. of course, 'Nutrition' sites are trying to sell supplements, so they 'push' it. what have you heard or where can I get PURELY MEDICAL RESULTS?

Hi

Thanks for asking.

Co q-10 is a supplement used in some cases of dilated cardiomyopathy and in some other cases as cardiac and muscle supplements.

There are not many convincing studies to promote the use of them in routine use, some studies have advocated their efficacy while others fails to do so.

So at this point the result and uses are equivocal with very limited data supporting their use.

Thanks.
