“Statins” are a family of drugs used to reduce high blood levels of cholesterol and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and to a lesser extent, triglycerides. Statins may also increase blood levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol. These drugs include:
In patients with high cholesterol, statin therapy results in decreased CoQ10 levels. Supplementation with 100mg per day has been shown to prevent reductions in blood levels of Coq10 due to statin therapy. In one study, people taking CoQ10 along with simvastatin increased their blood CoQ10 concentration by 63%. Many doctors recommend that people taking HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor drugs also supplement with approximately 90mg of CoQ10 per day, although 30mg per day is sufficient in preventing the decline in CoQ10.
CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals. Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful anti-oxidant found in every cell of the human body, particularly the heart and the liver. Almost every cell of the human body contains CoQ10. It is concentrated in the mitochondria, the area of cells where energy is produced. The heart and liver contain the greatest amount of CoG10. CoQ10 is used by the body to transform food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy on which the body runs.
Sona CoQ10 provides the recommended 30mg of Coenzyme Q10 in each one-a-day, easy to take capsule. These capsules also contain a small amount of oil which helps the absorption of CoQ10.
Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with the main meal of the day, or as directed by your health professional.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Store in a cool dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Pregnant and lactating women should consult with their doctors before taking this or any supplement. A supplement is not a replacement for a healthy diet.
