Micronutrient Depleters: Cholesterol-lowering Drugs
Things to know about medicines and micronutrients
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
Description
Elevated blood lipid levels are among the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
The class of substances most commonly used for lowering blood lipids is the type of
cholesterol-lowering drug known as statins. Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs can lead to
disruption of the coenzyme Q10 balance and muscle metabolism. In addition, statin therapy
increases the need for selenium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and L-carnitine.
This guide provides patients with important medical information about the interactions
of their medicines with these micronutrients.
This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication,
and improve their quality of life!
