The statin Drug Zocor was prescribed over 94 million times last year! Statin Drugs are used to lower cholesterol. It is in the same class as Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor, Simcor, Vytorin, and others. Some of the most commonly reported side effects of these drugs are:
sexual dysfunction
anemia
memory loss
cataracts
immune dysfunction
nerve damage to extremities
Aside from these serious side effects, statin drugs highly increase one's risk of developing diabetes. Nutritionally, taking statin drugs can cause Coenzyme Q10 deficiency within the body's cells. All of this can result in various cardiovascular problems, weka immune system health and low energy.
A more natural way to lower cholesterol is to eat healthy fats, such as fish, nuts, and seeds. Supplements such as omega 3 and 6's as well as some herbal extracts from evergreens can help to lower cholesterol. Nothing can negate the importance of a healthy diet!
