With the increase use of statin drugs there has been an increased need for CoQ10 for heart health.
I just recently did a presentation on a natural way to low cholesterol. In that presentation I examined the medical communities’ use of statin drugs to lower cholesterol. And two very clear issues presented themselves:
Statin drugs interfere with your liver’s ability to create CoQ10, which then reduces CoQ10 levels in the body.
There is a direct correlation with the increase use of statin drugs and an increase in congestive heart failure.
This increase in congestive heart failure would make sense since CoQ10 is a necessary component for cellular energy.
In a large study of older adults with heart failure issues, it was clearly noted that those with CoQ10 levels below a certain threshold were twice as likely to die when compared to those who had CoQ10 levels above that threshold. Read More →
