Are there any supplements anyone else is familiar with that I can take besides this? My low is to low and my high is to high, according to them. I’ve looked at my daily foods and can hardly find anything that has cholesterol in it, other than milk. Could I lose 5-8 lbs, sure..would that make a difference?

Statins DEPLETE CoQ10 from the body. Odd for a medication aimed at protecting the heart, since CoQ10 is required by every cell of the body for energy and for other things. The heart muscle needs CoQ10 more than most other organs; it never gets any long-term rest.
CoQ10 has been used in Japan as a prescribed medicine for certain heart problems for decades now.
Muscle pain is a common statin symptom. The heart is also a muscle, of course.
I take about 1,000 mg daily, along with PPQ, also needed by the body, and like CoQ10 typically in low supply among older people and heart patients.
Life Extension sells CoQ10 combined with Shilajit, said to roughly double its effectiveness. They sell different sizes (50, 100, or 200 mg) and versions without Shilajit also.
Best wishes for getting rid of your symptoms ASAP.
I buy Ubiquinal from Dr. Mercola insted of CoQ10 since the Ubiquinal is a more absorbable form of CoQ10. I had been taking fish oil for years... but still didnt keep me off statins. I even tried other natural resources red yeast, etc. to no avail.
But ANYONE on statins needs Ubiquinal to protect their heart.
I am on Statins and had the joint pain. I am now taking ASEA water 8 oz. daily due to my doc had wanted to raise the statins. The water helped my joint pains.
My Last blood test my cholestoral was normal except my bad cholestoral was only slightly elevated (My main problem). instead of being 100 it was 115. So still taking the low dose of statin now. I am hoping in time my choestoral will go down with the ASEA water as it has for my friend who never took statins but was suggested to do so.
I also need to lose about 25 lbs. which would probably make a difference.
I would rethink staying on a statin. Also, those cholesterol levels that they say are too high, ARE NOT. That's BigPharma continually lowering the "acceptable" level for more new patients and continued sales because of the damage these poisons are doing. The tools that MDs have are drugs, chemo, radiation, and surgery. Others call it cut, poison and burn. You will NOT gain health by using statins. This is cabal lies, their products.
ASEA has helped you? I'm holistically minded, however I have a friend who sells this stuff, it's a multi level marketing company so I'm suspect 🤔
I know people who are suspect of it for that reason. But within one month of drinking ASEA all my aches and pains were gone. It gives me energy so I can participate in an exercise class with other women half my age. (I just turned 70) which I couldn’t do before. Also since using the gel my spider veins have faded. I have a bone spur that is getting smaller, too. And I no longer have foot pain from a right foot that was injured (turned it around backwards from jumping off a horse) when I was 16. It’s bothered me for years but in the last 10 years caused great foot pain after standing or walking too long on it. Don’t have that problem now
I am also using their gel on my face along with their four facial products and see less wrinkles, it removed the bags and circles under my eyes and I look much younger.
I was a but dubious at trying it myself but after reading a number of testimonials I decided to try it. I will not stop taking it now.
Hoping it will also cure my osteoporosis Have another scan coming up this year. We shall see
I fought taking statins until I was diagnosed with a left branch bundle block (electric current issue) which can indicate some heart disease. I passed all the tests but agreed to go on the statins. Still hoping I can get my cholesterol levels down to remove the statins The ASEA didn’t help with the abnormal EKG but it hasn’t gotten worse. I assume once a heart has a problem it is not fixable. Just wish I’d heard about ASEA sooner
Wow! That's quite a testimonial. Do you just buy it directly or do you have to become a seller?
My cholesterol is > 200 and has always been, high LDL. I have high lp(a) too, which is an independent risk factor. I have it all. My Calcium score is zero, nada. Nothing - no plaque. Echo stress test of the heart: perfect. Ultrasound of the artery in the leg: perfect. I am in my 50s. Cholesterol is NOT the issue.
Ditch the carbs and the oils, go carnivore, you will lose extra weight, gain vitality, improve insulin sensitivity. Your focus should be INSULIN SENSITIVITY.

You're right about Ubiquinol, and that's what Life Extension sells the most of (check link in my comment above -- and they do have one version of Ubiquinone also). LEF actually introduced CoQ10 in America (it's all made in Japan, despite an American having discovered it) back in the '80s I think.
Definitely get on COQ10. I was on statins and was in such pain I could barely get out of bed. I stopped them against my doctor’s orders. It took me most of a year to get back to normal. The doctors are supposed to tell you to take COQ10 with the statin, but I will never take them again.
