Good! If you don’t mind, I’ll give you a call sometime within the next two weeks and set up an appointment. Got to work out my schedule first.

In honor of the info given - I’ve found a case regarding adding bioperine aids in the absorption of CoQ10 - take it at face value.

Sounds like stacking Biotest Curcumin (which contains Bioperine and is also best consumed with a fatty meal) with CoQ10 might be good as part of a health stack.

Yes, please. My mom and dad are on Crestor/Lipitor and I want to try this out on them. And myself, too…[/quote]
Ponce- you need to get them off of that shit, pronto. It boggles my mind that any physician would put a female on statins at ANY time. There is zero correlation between cholesterol levels and heart disease in women of any age.

How would you go about convincing them? what can I give her to read?
I’d go with Ubiquionol by Jarrow Formula, 300mg won’t break the bank.
and for those 35 or older a good supplement to add, and obviously for statin takers as well.
bioprene AFAIK does not help CoQ10 or Ubiquionol, sure you’re not confused with curcumin?
an oil additive helps with CoQ10 since it’s fat soluble.
A remarkable recovery…

I think he’s referring to the Doctor’s best CoQ10, which apprently “promotes absorption of nutrients in the GI tract”

So is it ok for men (my father) overall to be on crestor/lipitor?
I’ve tried telling him it can effect his memory which he always complains about but he won’t listen because his Dr said so…

men with diagnosed heart disease statins do show benefits for. That’s the only population thus far. And even then it’s probably not b/c of the cholesterol lowering effect. They seem to have gotten lucky since they are anti-inflammatory.
So, has your dad had past heart problems? If so, could there be other ways to help lower the risk of future problems…
Thanks for the link, ID. Very informative.

well he had 3 stents put in about a year ago. other than that, none that I know of
BBB,
I’m passing the 300mg/day coezyme q10 tip on to my dad, he has a pacemaker and he is on several drugs for an irregular heart rhythm. I’m sure he’s mentioned statins to me before. Is there any medication which would interact with coenzyme q10 which would not allow him to experiment with this protocol?
Thanks.

be careful with blood thinners like warfarin, check with the doc. Even then, I’ve seen a heart doc write that when on statins one MUST supplement with coq10
Just rung him up, he’s on statins and warfarin. Guessing the coeznyme q10 would be good in combination with the statins but NOT the warfarin?
Do you think I should still recommend this protocol to him? Seems like so many people have had success in lowering their blood pressure it would be a shame not to do it.
I need a more educated opinion than my own.

Anybody interested in mitochondrial health should watch this for perspective. It’s like 18 minutes by an MD who RECOVERED from debilitating MS when medicine failed her.

Have him , or yourself contact his doctor with this question. It’s more work than asking on here, but it really is the appropriate way to go.
If the doc says no, ask further what can be done. It’s quite important as depletion of Coq10 levels can lead to heart failure and even after just 30 days of statin use blood levels drop 50%
