They block the production of cholesterol, but they also block the production of CoQ10, which is vital for muscle and heart health.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re taking statins, CoQ10 can help mitigate the side effects. Ubiquinol is a fast-acting form of CoQ10 and may be the best form to take. A typical amount is 200–400 mg.</p><p><br></p><p>Instead of immediately taking statins, ask yourself: Why do you have high cholesterol in the first place? Refined carbohydrates and sugar can contribute to cholesterol production in the body. Low bile, gallbladder problems, or gallbladder removal can also contribute to high cholesterol.</p><p><br></p><p>DATA: </p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12736359/ </p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9104583/ </p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6486033/ </p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6822644/</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.
