Did you know that important medicines that help one condition can also cause depression? That's the case with "Statin" medications that are very helpful in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease and stroke. But, statins also block the production of energy in all the cells of your body, especially the brain. This occurs because statins not only block the production of cholesterol, but of CoEnzymeQ10 (often called, "CoQ10"). CoQ10 is essential for the production of energy in every cell of your body. If you don't have enough CoQ10, you can't make enough energy for the cells of your body. This can lead to feeling tired, having no stamina, having "brain fog" and even becoming depressed! So, it's important to take a CoEnzymeQ10 supplement when you are taking a statin so you don't get depressed.
