Statin will kill your liver. It is normal for your Liver to manufacture cholesterol. Statin force and stop your liver from producing this cholesterol that is very important to the body. Especially the Brain. The best way is to control and change your diet not to take Statin. Statin will weaken your body over time. Many people have the impression that statin neutralize your cholesterol. But, it job is to stop your liver from producing the important Cholesterol for your body. Without Cholesterol you will die faster. Your body need Cholesterol to survive.

Great videos keep going we are enjoying them.

I worked in Pharamcy for years yall. If you are able bodied and Are NOT being hindered by a disease or aliment. Please exercise often and eat more fatty fish and more avocados and avoid saturated fats. I personally increased my HDL from 50 to 62 and dropped my LDL by 30 points in about 6 months

I love your channel! Thanks so much.

Thank you for this easy to understand explanation. I've been on rosuvastatin for a while following a subarachnoid haemorrhage and high LDL cholesterol. It's good to understand how it actually works. Well done.

Great video, thank you!!! Woooo makes soon much sense

Nice job!

Awesome! An excellent discussion for non- medical people.

Your video so useful and i love it I hope you update more medicine

Thank you for your video! There is some great information here and it helped me understand the cholesterol/statin process. I also liked the comment that said, please put the quiz answers at the end of the slide. It stimulates my brain's reward center when I get them all correct. ;)

This is great. Thank you for sharing

very good.Thanks.

very useful video ...thanks

Great video! Thank you for this breakdown. Please consider doing the top 200 😁😉 Question, due to the statins work in our livers and can cause a certain amount levels of toxins in the liver.. would this medication be considered an NTI? If no, why not? Thanks in advance.

Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing knowledge!

One deca-liter or 1 daL is pronounced ˈdekəˌlēdər and is equal to 10L or ten liters. One deci-litter or 1 dL is pronounced ˈdesəˌlēdər and is equal to 0.1L or one tenth of a liter. Btw, awesome video. Thumbs up!😊👍👍

Hi Drug Chug, I love love love your videos. You explain MOAs and give clear indicated dosing guides so perfectly clear on all your videos. Do you mind to share the source of this Statins dosing guideline shared at 11:20 onwards? It'd be so helpful. Again many thanks for the wonderful contents. I truly love your videos.

I like this explanation. I have been using the avortastatin for lowering my LDL. Very clear,informative and understandable.

Wow I really wish I would have found your videos sooner. They are great!! They still may save me though!! Thanks for making these!!

Nice job

I take atorvastatin (Lipitor) for 2 years, yes it lowers, but it lowers HDL too

Can you do one on Jardiance (empagliflozin) how it works, your videos are really good.

THANK YOU BROTHER FOR MAKING A EASY WAY TO UNDERSTAND BETTER ♥️MUCH BLESSINGS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🏽

Very good

Thank you for this and your other videos! You've answered questions that I've had, but as is always the case, raise new ones in their place. I'm wondering about the inputs to the cholesterol synthesis process when HMG-CoA is blocked. I gather from your other videos there are processes that convert free fatty acids to triglycerides, triglycerides to vldl, vldl to ldl; do we know more specifically where in the whole chain Hmg-CoA is involved? I'm under the impression that statins reduce not just ldl, but also triglycerides, so my guess would be it's similar to fish oils blocking the conversion of free fatty acids into triglycerides. If that's the case, I wonder what happens to the free fatty acids that would have otherwise been converted? Does the body have a harmless outlet for them? Or do they or other resultant products (adipose?) accumulate? Inquiring minds want to know! PS your pronounciation of decilitre had me very confused for a moment; it sounded to me like you were saying daL (10L) instead of dL (100mL). As a Canadian growing up with metric units, I've always known deci to be pronounced as "dessi", so as not to be confused with deca (dekka).

Wow! Beautiful video...explained everything

Hi, I've heard that simvastatin is bad and that makes me a little worried, Im taking simvastatin 10mg because of high scholesterol, in conclusion it is 100% safe to take it?

The body needs cholesterol. Some types of cholesterol are essential for good health. Our body needs cholesterol to perform important jobs, such as making hormones and building cells. Cholesterol travels through the blood on proteins called lipoproteins. The liver produces cholesterol.

I've tried two different stations. The last one made my muscles ache. Then the bones in my hands started hurting. I would rather die of high cholesterol than the side effects of statins.

Excellent tutorial! Explains everything clearly and concisely.

So all statins do is create/ add more “receptors” in our liver to remove the cholesterol from our bloodstream. But what about the glycated cholesterol damaged by sugar which is not recognized by these receptors and so just continue to float around the bloodstream causing most of the problems. As for the buildup of LDL in your bloodstream. That’s because there’s already damage from other things. The LDL which is not cholesterol but Carry’s cholesterol is a unit of repair and so if there’s buildup it’s because there’s already some sort of stress in your arteries. Sugar is the culprit. Cholesterol is like an ambulance trying to fix damage. Is cholesterol the fireman or the arsonist??? Statins also promote diabetes Ascvd- eliminate sugar/ reduce carbs Get your hdl higher and triglycerides as low as possible much lower than 150. Love that we give diabetics statins. The underlying issue with any of this as any nurse or doctor will tell you, is getting people to comply. Compliance is an issue due to flat out laziness or massive confusion because there’s a pill for a pill for a pill and people don’t want that. They don’t understand why they have to keep taking another pill and another. Lastly, food is so addictive now that why do I want to stop eating all this good stuff? It’s so good! But it’s also slowly killing you. Why are you basing statins on ldl base of 70? Key words” based on clinical judgement” are there studies (double blind) to support that judgement. Most of this video is wasted on the average person because of the language.

Please explain what mechanism the statins use to attack muscle fibres and can they attack cardiac muscle also? Can you also explain the high risk and mechanism of developing type 2 diabetes? Surly that would be counter productive

Nice 👍🏼

Why is the LDL sticking to the walls of the artery? What is the route cause as to why this "sticks" ?

Thanks for your useful video. One thing you didn’t cover is what happens if we stop using statins? Are we going to have a ordinary cholesterol level after few years or as soon as we stop using the cholesterol goes back to high level like before? Appreciate if you answer. Thanks again.

So does the reducing of production of LDL in the liver just stop all LDL , including the small LDL. I read it stops all LDL both the fluffy ones (good LDL) and smaller bullet type LDL.

Great Video. But What is the Music you play at the end called ?.

Can you do one on PCSK9 inhibitors?

Rhondie Badcock Well explain now l know what was causing my severe pains. Its the side effects of the Rovastatin.stop two weeks ago l feel much better. I had stent put in 2o13.Poor me experience this pain.Thank you so much. Blessings

You explaind the deposit of LDL in the artery, but forgot to explain HOW the deposit came in there!Knowing that might REVERSE the cause and thereby lowering the necessity of taking a Statin Drug at all.Thanks.

What if you have both chronic kidney disease CKD and liver damage, (fatty liver) should you take Lipitor ?

why the asterisk at any time : crestor? is it better than Lipitor or vice versa?

Thank you gonna have to take us for the rest of my life

Kindly advice which Statin causes minimal muscle pains Fatigue and Brain fog I'm taking Rosvastatin despite taking 10mg on night after Dinner Thanks

this makes me want to become a pharmacologist.

Very clearky discussed. Thank you so much. God bless

I had a question if you could help me solve. I've been on Crestor 10 mg since 4 months, My LDL cholesterol reduced from 165 mg/dL to 78 mg/dL in a month. My question : What I wondered is when a statin stops the cholesterol production, how does the LDL reduce so quickly ? Does the body use it up for energy and begin the depletion of cholesterol since it no longer produces as it once did? Or The statins begin pushing LDL out of the body and eliminate it ? Or That Vitamin D and testosterone begin consuming the remainder of whatever cholesterol that the body has now that statin has stopped it's production ? I'd appreciate a response. Thanks for the best video on statins on YT.

I noticed that the pharmacist still recommends atorvastatin and rosuvastatin be taken before bed. Is there actually a benefit to this, or would the blood level be about the same if it were taken anytime within 24 hours?
