What’s the research?
A study in 2000 showed that taking statin drugs can deplete CoQ10 levels in the body by half in only 30 days. Thus, many doctors now insist patients on heart drugs supplement with CoQ10. A 2004 study found that CoQ10 at 150 mg/day "led to a greater than 50% reduction in the number of days with migraine headache."
