So....although I have stellar ratios, my cholesterol is genetically low (for most of my life, total cholesterol was sub-100, in my 30's it jumped up to total around 120, which is where it is currently).

In the past, it was thought that low cholesterol wasn't a risk factor for much (other than some psychiatric issues--notably depression with a higher rate of suicidal ideation). Lately, though, we're seeing a lot more low cholesterol risk factors emerging (like Alzheimer's).

Although I don't know any good way to actually raise my cholesterol numbers, my guess is that one of the contibutory issues that could potentially be modified is that I likely also have a CoQ10 deficit. In that context, does anyone know of any good links/information (RCT's would be nice, but I don't know if they exist ) on the efficacy of CoQ10 supplementation?

I'm also open to thoughts/advice on how to get those cholesterol numbers up....
