An Open Label Study Evaluating the Effectiveness of Omega Q Plus® Resveratrol at Increasing Blood Levels of CoQ10

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The primary objective of this study is to assess the blood levels of Coenzyme Q10 in healthy subjects when administered Omega Q Plus® Resveratrol for 28 days.The secondary objective of the study is to determine if statin use has an impact on the blood levels of Coenzyme Q10 when administered Omega Q Plus® Resveratrol for 28 days. The safety objectives will include assessment of safety evaluations as determined by: laboratory tests - CBC, electrolytes (Na, K, Cl), glucose, creatinine, AST, ALT, GGT, and bilirubin vital signs - heart rate and blood pressure adverse events
