Are you on
Cholesterol-Lowering Statin drugs?
(For example LIPITOR)
Advertisements claim that CoQ10 (also
known as coenzyme Q10) is a natuarally occuring coenzyme found in the
human body. CoQ10 plays a role in the production of cellular energy, which
is an important aspect of maintaining heart health. But research shows
that the use of STATINS can lower CoQ10 levels by as much as 40%.
CoQ10 can
help restore your coenzyme Q10 levels.

The use of Coenzyme Q10 has produced
no serious side effects. Some Coenzyme Q10 patients have
experienced a mild inability to sleep, liver enzymes levels have been
elevated, rashes, nausea, and upper abdominal pain. Some reported
Coenzyme Q10 side effects include dizziness, irritability,
headache, fatigue, heartburn, and visual sensitivity to light. |

A topical question is whether
cholesterol-lowering treatment with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A
(HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) decreases tissue CoQ, and, if so,
whether this may attenuate the overall decrease in cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease and/or in
healthy men at risk for coronary heart disease seen with statins. A
potential decrease in CoQ levels could conceivably arise from the
inhibition of the synthesis of CoQ by statins. Indeed, there is now
evidence that statin therapy lowers plasma concentrations of CoQ, although
it remains to be established whether this has clinical consequences. Continue searching for
