If you are on statins and are considering a natural approach (with your physician's approval), here's a good reason to move forward with that approach...

The Truth About Statins and What
Doctors Won't Tell You.

Without question, statins have an excellent safety record. But in rare cases, there is a potential side effect of taking these wonderful drugs. Statins reduce your blood supply of an antioxidant enzyme called Co-Q10, which can result in skeletal muscle complaints. In one reported case, a statin patient awoke to find he was almost completely paralyzed. After a battery of tests, it was concluded that he was severely deficient in Co-Q10. He was immediately given Co-Q10 and soon recovered.

Co-Q10 is a compound needed for the proper functioning of an enzyme , a protein that speeds up the rate at which chemical reactions take place in the body. Coenzyme Q10 is used by the mitochondria (located in the cells' nucleus) to produce energy to fuel cell growth and maintenance. All major organs require Co-Q10, especially the heart, where demand is greatest and constant.

Co-Q10 is thought to improve the function of mitochondria , the "powerhouses" that produce energy in cells. As an antioxidant, Co-Q10 protects cells from highly reactive chemicals called free radicals that can damage cells and their DNA . The levels of coenzyme Q10 normally decline with age and again with the use of statins.

CONCLUSION:
If you are currently taking a statin, with your physician's approval, you can begin taking Co-Q10 supplements to help increase blood levels of this important nutrient. MDR recommends their new Co-Q10 Ubiquinol formula. Read why Ubiquinol is far superior to Co-Q10 Ubiquinone...

Are You Using the Latest Form of CoQ10?
If not, you may be missing out on optimal health benefits!

Yes, taking Co-Q10 (Ubiquinone) is good for your health. But new studies are showing far better results from taking Ubiquinol, the reduced and active form of CoQ10. In fact, Ubiquinol is probably the most exciting breakthrough and biggest news in baby-boomer nutrition since Glucosamine! If you’re still taking Ubiquinone, you may be losing out on important benefits not offered by Ubiquinol. In addition, this new form, now offered by MDR, provides a far more superior rate of absorption than the “obsolete” form!

Researchers Make a Breakthrough Discovery!
Ubiquinone is the standard form of CoQ10, which is reduced to the usable form of CoQ10, Ubiquinol. This reduction occurs either during absorption or after the appearance of Coenzyme Q10 in the blood. Ubiquinol accounts for over 80% of the total Ubiquinone in human blood, the coenzyme-Q10 pool, intestine, and liver. The problem is, as you age, you produce less CoQ10 and your body becomes less efficient at converting CoQ10 to the active form - Ubiquinol. So the less CoQ10 you produce, the less Ubiquinol you get...until a recent breakthrough!

Researchers discovered how to isolate Ubiquinol and manufacture it as a supplement! By supplementing with Ubiquinol, you bypass the process of converting CoQ10 into Ubiquinol, and instead benefit directly from this already-converted form.

Double The Rate Of Absorption!
Studies indicate that Ubiquinol is absorbed by the body more efficiently than Ubiquinone, increasing and maintaining blood plasma levels of CoQ10 by more than double that of the non-reduced Ubiquinone form of CoQ10. (Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2007 Feb;47(1):19-28.)

Who Can Benefit from Ubiquinol?
People with Cardiovascular Health Concerns or Risks. Oxidative stress seems to play an important role in mitochondrion-mediated disease processes, the most common one being cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Mitochondrion-targeted antioxidants such as Ubiquinol pass easily through biological membranes and, due to their positive charge, they accumulate several-hundred-fold within mitochondria. In this way they protect against mitochondrial oxidative damage and show potential as a future support for cardiovascular health. (Med Sci Monit. 2007 Jul;13(7):RA132-45.)

People Taking Statin Drugs.
One study investigated the reductions of serum ubiquinol-10 and ubiquinone-10 levels in hypercholesterolemic patients treated with atorvastatin. Fourteen patients were treated with 10 mg/day of atorvastatin, and serum lipid, ubiquinol-10 and ubiquinone-10 levels were measured before and after 8 weeks of treatment. Serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels decreased significantly. All patients showed definite reductions of serum ubiquinol-10 and ubiquinone-10 levels. Results of this study suggest the importance of statin patients supplementing with Ubiquinol. (J Atheroscler Thromb. 2005;12(2):111-9.)

Even if you are not taking a statin, it's a good idea to start taking MDR Ubiquinol, since it helps reduce oxidation of LDL and promotes healthy heart and mitochondrial function.
