Interesting about the dehydration. I dropped caffeine apparently it was making me dehydrated. Wonder if it was raising my cholesterol too

Yes, it's important to understand all the potential side effects of statins. One being lowing CoQ10 levels. We need CoQ10 to help make energy from our cells to function normally, so you can image what issues low CoQ10 levels can cause. Many doctors are starting to recommend a CoQ10 supplement along with the statins. Even if you take a "natural statin" like red yeast rice, your CoQ10 will still be depleted.
