Have begun to have sometimes loose stool, upset stomach, foggieness, brain fog. Am seeing my gastro next week. Have been researching this supplement.

Hello,

You have you developed loose stools after taking Lipitor just see.
About 10% to 20% of people who take statins report experiencing muscle pain or muscle cramps, while others complain of nausea, trouble sleeping, diarrhea, or constipation.

But a few people may complain about foggy thinking. But studies have not found this. It may be due to acute gastroenteritis or anemia or food intolerance or food poisoning, etc. Eat soft diet and drink plenty of liquids. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
