Did you have feet and leg issues? I am very interesting in knowing about that, because that happened to me. What did you do about it? I already take COQ10 even though I have discontinued my statin due to bad reactions. Thanks! 🙂 d.

Both my husband and I had knee and leg issues - aches, heavy, tired - after stating Atorvastatin. Within a few days of taking COQ10, aches/pains diminished, Within 2 weeks knees/legs better .
“ CoQ10 supplementation is sometimes recommended alongside statin medications to potentially mitigate muscle pain and weakness, known as statin-induced myopathy, which can be a side effect of statins. Statins can reduce the body's natural levels of CoQ10, and some believe that replenishing these levels with supplementation may help alleviate these muscle-related side effects. However, research findings on the effectiveness of CoQ10 in preventing or treating statin-induced myopathy are mixed, and some health professionals express caution about its widespread recommendation. “
MAYO CLINIC:
Statin-induced myopathy. Some research suggests that CoQ10 might help ease the muscle weakness and pain that can happen when taking statins. There isn't enough evidence to know for sure.
