Interesting - had no idea about CoQ10 and its vital importance to our energy levels. 🤯
Especially if you’re already feeling low energy, have muscle pain, likely to have Statins (common), high blood pressure, 

The top sources of CoQ10 are heart, chicken leg, herring and trout.

Fight age-related fatigue with CoQ10

Two questions: 1. Is there a way to test...
1. There is a test for CoQ10 (it's a blood test) though I have never used it. The laboratory Genova Diagnostics offer an oxidative stress test that includes CoQ10. 2. I struggle to understand why statins are so widely used. From all the literature I have read, their benefits appear to be minimal. Some people have a condition called hypercholesterolemia that may require cholesterol lowering medication. Most people should be more concerned about their triglyceride levels.

If "The richest sources of phenylalanine are red meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy" Would vegans or vegetarians' struggle?

An important point often overlooked is the difference between molecules that are an inherent part of the cellular metabolism and medications (chemical or herbal) that trigger some aspects of the cellular metabolism. Vitamins, CoQ10, amino acids, etc. are essential components of the cellular metabolism, involved from ingestion to excretion in the cells regular activity. They are vital to the very life of the cell and are either produced in the metabolic process or ingested and actively involved in such processes. Medications are external agents, not normally required, ever, for the cells to live. Their purpose is to alleviate some kind of malfunction in cellular metabolism, most likely at the organ level, but acting mostly at the cellular level. The cause of malfunctions is outside the point of the thread. A normally functional organism never needs these chemicals to function, otherwise our ancestor (before BIG Pharma) would not have survived and we would not get to exist today.
