A recent research study showed that in a small percent of patients on statin drugs, some might experience an increase in memory loss (short or long term). Stopping the statin drug after 90 days may reverse it.

Statin drugs is best known as drugs that lower cholesterol; statins have several other beneficial effects that may also improve cardiac risk.  Some of the most common drugs are:

There are other side affects from statin drugs ranging from:

  • Nausea
  • Upset Stomach
  • Muscle Aches
  • Increase risk of cancer
  • Headache
  • Memory and Cognitive Loss

Another important fact to consider is that if you are on a statin, you should take a CoQ10 sublingual supplement as the statin depletes it. CoQ10 is essential in energy metabolism of cells, and a lower level of CoQ10 may cause muscle cramps or fatigue. Not all CoQ10 is the same. Only 10% of capsules are absorbed in the stomach, so quality and form matters.

Know that there are many natural options that are available that are very affective in lower cholesterol naturally.
