Published in Journal of Clinical Medicine
Methodology
Double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial of CoQ10 in older adults with statin-associated muscle weakness assessing physical performance
Key Findings
CoQ10 supplementation improved physical performance and reduced asthenia symptoms versus placebo in statin users with muscle weakness
Conclusions
CoQ10 may improve physical performance in older adults with statin-associated asthenia
Limitations
Population specific to statin-associated weakness; prior CoQ10 evidence inconsistent
Supplements Studied
Available evidence from randomized clinical trials is contrasting and definitely inconclusive in determining whether or not CoQ10 dietary supplementation improves physical performance.
Outcomes Measured
CoQ10 supplementation improved physical performance and reduced asthenia symptoms versus placebo in statin users with muscle weakness
