Did you know that……
When you take a statin drug, that it lowers and can even stop your bodies natural production of CoQ10?
CoQ10 is a major antioxidant and your body needs it! It is naturally produced in our body and is used for cellular growth and maintenance. CoQ10 is mostly concentrated in our cells’ mitochondria (our cell’s brain). As we age, levels of CoQ10 decrease and the mitochondria in our cells start to use oxygen less efficiently, which impairs ATP (energy) synthesis within our cells, resulting in increased free radical production. This damages mitochondria and other cell biomolecules as well.
I have found that cardiologists don’t educate their patients on this important nutrient, so if you or a loved on are on a statin drug, I am more than glad to help guide you in the right direction!
