Statins are drugs that can lower your cholesterol levels. They work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol and may also help your body reabsorb cholesterol that has built up in plaques on your artery walls, preventing further blockage in your blood vessels and heart attacks.

Statins are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world, which reduce LDL (low density lipoprotein), or “bad” cholesterol levels, and the risk of heart attacks or other cardiovascular events.  But Statins that reduce cholesterol production also reduce levels of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). 

CoQ10 is needed in cells to help create energy and perform other important functions. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules.

Coenzymes also help enzymes work to digest food and perform other body processes, and they help protect the heart and skeletal muscles.

It is therefore important to supplement with Future Health Statin Assist when Statin-containing cholesterol lowering medication is being taken.

CoQ10 may help reduce cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health, but more research is needed to confirm this. Ask your doctor if they think taking it with statin medications can give you better results.

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a substance that the human body makes naturally. Cells use it to generate energy. CoQ10 also functions as a powerful antioxidant to help fight free radicals that can damage cells and DNA.

However, your body produces less and less CoQ10 as you get older. People with certain conditions, including diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and heart problems, tend to have low levels of CoQ10. It isn’t known if disease causes the deficiency or if the deficiency appears first, causing cells to age faster and making disease more likely.

Although your body produces its own CoQ10, you can also get it from certain foods. The best sources of CoQ10 are oily fish and organ meats, such as beef liver.

It can also be found in whole grains. A man-made form of CoQ10 is available as a supplement in most pharmacies and health food stores.
