Description
For some time there has been a view that the muscle pains associated with statins may be reversed by taking coenzyme Q10. The argument is that statins inhibit the biosynthesis of both cholesterol and ubiquinone (fancy name for coenzyme Q10), with resultant lowering of cholesterol and ubiquinone in blood, ubiquinone in muscle, and, as ubiquinone is involved in electron transport and ATP formation, fatigue and muscle pain.
Whether taking coenzyme Q10 helps overcome that muscle pain is another matter, but there are a few straws in the wind.
