Statins deplete your body of CoQ10, which can have devastating results. If you take statin drugs without taking CoQ10, your health is at serious risk. If you have symptoms of statin damage, such as muscle pain, take anywhere from 200 to 500 mg of CoQ10 or ubiquinol, which is the reduced form.
Statins Are Not for Everyone. You should not take statins if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have active liver disease. There are also certain medications that should not be taken with statins. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting statin therapy.
