Statins and your CoQ10 health
Statins reduce CoQ10 production in the body. Research shows that the method by which statin drugs, like Crestor, Zocor and Lipitor, work to block cholesterol also causes them to block the production of CoQ10. Since people who take statins may already suffer from low levels of CoQ10, such added depletion is of great concern. The combined use of CoQ10 and statins, however, can prevent the depletion of CoQ10 and thereby help to minimize the risk of statin-induced cardiac dysfunction and other side effects. If one is to take statins to lower cholesterol levels (LDL or bad cholesterol levels) why not simply ingest policosanol in a suspended gel with CoQ10 in one health supplement? Fortunately, CoQ10 depletion from statins can be reversed with CoQ10 oral supplements but statins have other side effects – not simply CoQ10 depletion. CoQ10 supplementation does not appear to affect the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of statins, and may even reverse any CoQ10 depletion that results from statin use.
According to cardiologist Peter Langsjoen, combining CoQ10 and statins “not only prevents the depletion of CoQ10 but may enhance the benefits of statin drugs by lessening the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.” It is noteworthy that Merck, a major pharmaceutical company, considers maintaining proper levels of CoQ10 so important for people taking statins that it has taken out two patents for combining CoQ10 and statins in a single capsule. Agel, shortly after 2005 introduced a health supplement which combines policosanol and CoQ10, among other natural ingredients when one drug manufacturer [of statins] is working on a similar solution; it is paramount to keep in mind that statins contribute to other serious side effects in addition to inhibiting the natural production of CoQ10. Statins offer solutions for lowering bad cholesterol levels but deplete critical CoQ10 levels among posing other health threats.
