CWeak evidence, or evidence againstOther
The short answer
Popular, expensive, and thinly supported. Statin muscle symptoms deserve a conversation with your prescriber rather than a supplement.
Who this is actually for
Sometimes tried for statin-associated muscle symptoms, where trial results have been largely negative.
What it is legally allowed to claim
Nothing. There is no authorised EU health claim for this substance, so any packet promising a specific benefit is making a claim it is not entitled to make. That is worth knowing before you judge the price.
How much is too much
No upper level established.
Cautions and interactions
May reduce the effect of warfarin. Ask before combining.
Ask a pharmacist before you start anything. Interactions with prescribed medicines are the most common way supplements cause harm, and they are easy to check. Bring the actual packet, or a photo of the ingredients panel, because doses and forms vary enormously between products. Nothing here is a substitute for advice about your own situation.
