Heart Drugs Causing Heart Problems

Heart Drugs Causing Heart Problems

Statin drugs (e.g. Lipitor, Pravachol, Zocor, etc.), used by millions of people to lower their cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease, can actually worsen heart function in some people.

This is due, in part, by a drug-induced deficiency of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Statin drugs work by inhibiting the body’s production of cholesterol.

At the same time, they also inhibit the body’s production of CoQ10, which is a necessary nutrient needed to produce energy. Some studies have shown that people with heart failure exhibited subnormal concentrations of CoQ10. This condition can be reversed by taking a good CoQ10 supplement.

Here at Ohana Chiropractic, we carry many nutrititonal supplements, including CoQ10! If you believe you may experiencing any of these problems or conditions, please contact the office and make an appointment to see our Biomeridian, Pam.  She can help you get on the right track to wellness!
