CoQ10 has shown benefit in heart failure patients (Q-SYMBIO trial) and may be particularly relevant for statin users, as statins reduce CoQ10 levels. For general longevity in healthy individuals, the evidence is thin. It's one of the better-studied supplements but still lacks definitive longevity data.
The full evidence review — including why this might matter most for people already taking statins — and why it's less clear for everyone else — is in Section 10 (The Supplement Deep-Dive) of The Anti-Longevity Playbook.
