Letter: Nutritional gap

Published 10 September 2014

From Michael Nichols

In your article on vitamin and mineral supplements, you conclude that many of the claims for coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) are unfounded. However, I was surprised that no mention was made of the possible benefit for people taking statins.

Like many people on statins I take CoQ10. It will be interesting to see if any future research can confirm the efficacy of this as a supplement for those on statins.
