CHOLESTEROL

The Statin Supplement

Sinatra gives statins to people who’ve had heart surgery or a heart attack and can’t lower their cholesterol naturally. He also prescribes statins to reduce high C-reactive-protein levels, which are a newly recognized marker for heart disease. Sinatra tells his statin patients to take coenzyme Q10 to offset any loss from the statins, but he advises people at less risk to lower their cholesterol with nutrition and exercise. The American Heart Association says more research is needed to determine coenzyme Q10’s safety or usefulness.
