![]() If you need a statin to help lower cholesterol, we are not attempting to sway you to come off from it. Most dairy products, vegetables, fruits and cereals contain even smaller amounts. Meat, fish, nuts and some oils are the richest sources, but there’s not enough in any of them to significantly boost the levels in your body. Unfortunately, food sources of CoQ10 are limited. Plus, statins inhibit cholesterol production by reducing a compound (mevalonate) that is not only a precursor of cholesterol, but of CoQ10 as well. 2 While your body has the ability to make CoQ10, it declines as we age. The total amount of CoQ10 in the adult body is about 2 grams, and about 500 mg of that needs to be replaced every day.
