The explanation for statin-induced adverse muscle effects is probably that statin treatment not only blocks the production of cholesterol but also blocks the production of several other important molecules, for instance, coenzyme Q10, which is indispensable for energy production. As most energy is produced in the muscle cells, including those of the heart, the extensive use of statin treatment may explain the epidemics of heart failure that have been observed in many countries [75].
I should note, this wasn't written by the NIH, I just found it archived there and followed the link to the full study. I may have erred in my post Title in saying it was an NIH study.
Still a worthy study and a great find, but thanks for correcting the record.
It's SO nice to have a forum like this where people are (mostly) sane, honest, and don't have any trouble just owning up to when they've made a mistake.

I'm not without fault and I freely admit it, however I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so I got that going for me. 😁🤗
