CoQ10 supplementation may reduce muscle pain and weakness experienced by individuals taking statin medications. Statins can deplete CoQ10 levels, and supplementation aims to restore these levels and improve muscle function.
Statin medications, used to lower cholesterol, can sometimes lead to muscle pain and weakness, a condition known as statin-induced myopathy. This is thought to occur, in part, due to statins depleting the body's natural levels of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an essential component for cellular energy production and muscle function. Supplementation with CoQ10 aims to replenish these depleted levels, thereby potentially alleviating the muscle pain and weakness associated with statin use by improving mitochondrial function in muscle cells.
