Reason #3: Protection from Liptor and similar statin medications
1. After only twelve weeks of therapy with Zocor lowered plasma CoQ10 levels by 50%; Pravacol lowered levels by 54%. The inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase affects also the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (CoQ10). A diminution of CoQ10 availability may be the cause of membrane alteration with consequent cellular damage Ghirlanda, G, et al.

Finding the Right CoQ-10
The right CoQ-10 is as important as the research itself in gaining effective results for patients. The CoQ10 supplied by Crusadian is a oil-based suspension, setting us apart from setting us apart from the less efficacious powders.
Why is CoQ10 so expensive?
In order to preserve its active state, the process required to manufacture CoQ10 is difficult and costly. Small amounts of CoQ10 added to a multivitamin have no therapeutic value, but it certainly increases the cost of the vitamin!

2. Even brief exposure to Lipitor caused a marked decrease in blood CoQ10 concentration. Widespread inhibition of CoQ10 synthesis could explain the most commonly reported adverse effects of statins, especially exercise intolerance, myalgia and myoglobinuria. “Atorvastatin Decreases CoenzymeQ10 level in the blood of patients at risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke.”
3. CoQ 10 reverses cardiovascular dysfunction caused by Lipitor. Lipitor worsens diastolic function in most patients. This is reversed by CoQ10. Silver, Marc. “Effect of Atorvastin on left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Ability of CoQ10 to reverse the dysfunction.” PMID: 15541254
