Cholesterol is not a poison, it is a critical nutrient that your body needs to survive every minute of every day. Cholesterol is used to make hormones like testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, and adrenal so you can have sex, have children, lose weight, sleep, and have energy. Your most important body part, your brain is highly composed of cholesterol and you need cholesterol to create bile for digestion, manage your gut flora, and manage your mood. When you consider just a few of these important uses of cholesterol and what must be done to the liver to prevent it from making cholesterol; it makes sense that some of the side-effects of Statin drugs are: full body pain, tendon ruptures, heart attack, depression, amnesia, Alzheimer’s, increased cancer rates, and susceptibility to many diseases!

The liver enzyme which is shut down by these drugs, HMG CoA Reductase, is required to make certain vitamins which are critical to survival. Specifically, Statins cause a deficiency in coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and reduce zinc levels. CoQ10 deficiencies can lead to high blood pressure, severe fatigue, trouble thinking, and ironically; heart failure. Zinc deficiency can lead to an enormous range of health problems as there are more than 200 zinc-dependent enzymes involved in body organ function. CoQ10 and zinc are truly important nutrients to supplement regularly. All drugs negatively impact liver function and the liver’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients.
