HI,
A few people who take statins over react to the medication and stop producing cq10 in the liver, this leads to other problems to many to list.
Some countries require a black label(Canada) warning on statins, most Dr's dont know about the dangers cause they only believe what the drug companies tell them.
I was having alot of problems taking statins I couldn't climb stairs had problems getting off the couch and was lossing muscle mass rather quickly this occured about 6 mos into the meds.
Bike ridders burn a lot of those liquid fats in your blood things like lipids . Take at least 50 mg of cq10 to help replace your depleted cq10.
I use niacin vit C/ and lysine and diet to control my cholestrol/hdl and it has worked well, just ridding the bike has helped even more. Processed foods have excess bad omega's this can have negative effect on your lipids things like fresh fruit,fiber whole grains are good.
