Anyone who has ever had a muscle cramp in the calf of his leg knows that the pain is excruciating. For that matter, a cramp anywhere in the body can make you wish you'd just pass out so you couldn't feel it.
It turns out that a deficiency of Co-Q10 could be causing the cramps - and the use of Lipitor causes that deficiency. One study revealed that patients suffered a deficiency of more than 50% after using Lipitor for just one month.
Co-Q10 is a naturally occuring and vital enzyme in your body - one whose production diminishes with age, so all of us over the age of 20 should be supplementing with it.
If you're taking Lipitor for high cholesterol, talk to your doctor about a reduced dose, and do start taking Co-Q10!
