Coenzyme Q10 from Rexall(TM) is an essential nutrient that helps trigger cellular energy production. Low levels of CoQ10 have been associated with compromised immune function, gum disease, and heart failure. CoQ10 is a high potency antioxidant and a key nutrient to slow aging.
Statin medications deplete nutrients in the body, and none more so than coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). The interaction occurs because CoQ10 and cholesterol share the same metabolic pathway. Inhibition of the enzyme 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA reductase) by statins not only blocks cholesterol synthesis, but also decreases CoQ10 levels.
