Heart attacks
and stroke cause more than 930,000 deaths per year in the United
States alone. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of
death in the U.S., accounting for 40% of all deaths.
Reducing serum cholesterol
levels is an effective strategy for preventing cardiovascular disease.
According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
III, only 6.6% of Americans with elevated cholesterol levels are
using drug therapy and only 4% are using nutritional therapy to
reduce cholesterol.
Statin drugs are the
most widely used drugs to reduce cholesterol, however they produce
serious side effects. Statins can cause rhabdomyolysis, a deadly
condition where dying muscle cells overwhelm the kidneys causing
failure. Long term exposure to statins also substantially increases
the risks of polyneuropathy. Statin drugs lower cholesterol levels
by inhibiting the biosynthesis of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in
the liver. This enzyme is responsible for the production of cholesterol
in the liver. This mechanism of action not only is potentially harmful
to the liver but CoQ10 also shares the same biosynthetic pathway.
Therefore one unfortunate consequence of consuming a statin drug
is the unintentional inhibition of CoQ10 synthesis, an indispensable
nutrient for cardiac function.
The long-term consequences of taking statin drugs are not known,
however the side effects of muscle pain, liver problems, cancer,
nerve damage and depletion of CoQ10 are. For these reasons statins
should be reserved for individuals with chronically high cholesterol
levels who are at serious risk.
Cholestol Gold is a
much better and safer option for individuals with moderately elevated
total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels. When combined with
a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and exercise, Cholestol
Gold is proven to be extremely effective at maintaining healthy
blood lipid levels.
Cholesterol
comes from two sources. About 20-30% comes from food and about 70-80%
is made in the liver. Cholestol Gold’s dual mechanism of action
lowers total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides at both sources.
Cholestol Gold blocks the absorption of cholesterol in the diet
and safely reduces the amount of cholesterol synthesized by the
liver.
