For over 10 years I have been taking statin following a surgical intervention to unblock an artery. Recently I had begun to to feel that legs were faltering due to muscle weaknesses. My doctor told me that it was due to statin intake. Bad news was that there is no suitable alternative to statin. He advises me to take COQ 10 which I did. Two days later my problem was solved and I am happily on my feet and I can walk longer distances with much ease. COQ10 helped in my case.

I take statin since years, recently side effects increased and Q10 helped a lot

[animtorfiddler]

❤ Statins Are a $29 Billion’s Profit “B.S.” High Cholesterol (LDL) was never proved to be a cardiovascular problem! ❤

I started taking a CoQ10 supplement about two months ago because of sore muscles. At first it didn't seem to have much effect, but after a couple weeks the soreness ebbed away. I take 100mg in the morning, and 100mg in the evening. Seems to be working.

I saw on Ning a nurd video that coq10 is important electron carrier in the electron transport chain, which produces a lot of atp without it the etc don’t work to good. Coq10 is produced in the same pathway that makes cholesterol from carbohydrates . Statins block this pathway and hinder the production of coq10 if this ain’t true please correct me . Thank you

[anitacarrier]

So you recommend taking a natural supplement to limit the damage caused by pharmaceutical drugs? People should really get clued up about the dangers of taking statins.

I'm 57 and for years my cholesterol was high (around 240). My doctor was always threatening to prescribe a statin and I assumed that eventually I would have to start taking one and so I went ahead and started taking CoQ10. But, around a year ago, I REALLY started trying to lose some weight and I finally managed to do it. I've lost at least 50 pounds and my cholesterol is now around 165.

My question is simple. Should I keep taking the CoQ10 or can I drop it since I probably average walking around 4 miles a day and do a little weight lifting several times a week?

I guess I'd like to drop it because I'm a cheapskate and I don't want to take anything I don't really need. I currently only take supplements (CoQ10, multivitamin, fish oil and Neuriva).

Does anyone have any thoughts?

[sanjeevankumar]

Very informative video doctor, God bless you i have seen many videos on coq10, but no one has answered me that is coq10 is good for IBS patients because I have seen its bad results.Please suggest.Thanks

[kunalxng]

Hello mam iam taking coq10 medicine for 1 month so my stomach hunger is too weak...and vomiting and diarrhea plus acidity ges so kind of solution...???

[klee]

If so, why CQ10 is not added to the statin pill?

[JohnWest]

Do statins reduce production of cholesterol and coq10? Seems their production is linked?
