Multivitamins are Bogus!

New studies fro John's Hopkins University prove that multivitamins do not work! The study said that multivitamins do not work because even though you are getting a wide array of vitamins, the dosages in them are no where near therapeutic levels.  So you are getting the illusion of "I am doing the best I can for myself by taking this multivitamin because it has a lot of vitamins and what do I know about vitamins anyway".  If that's what you are going for, then you are just fooling yourself.  The fact is that vitamin supplementation has come a long way and vitamins should be treated like medicine in my opinion. What do I mean by that? Well, we take prescription drugs to achieve a desired effect. How do drug companies come up with the dosages for the drugs they are peddling?  The answer is clinical trials or as I like to call it "Evidence based medicine". Trial and error eventually leads to an optimal dosage regimen. The same is true for vitamins! Evidence based nutrition is the key. You need to do the research to know what you are getting. For example. There is a product called Statinzyme. It is a combination of 9 different vitamins, enzymes and fatty acids, but what makes it special is that it was developed according to evidence based nutrition.  For example, it is enteric coated which increases the absorption rate of CoQ10 from 3% to virtually 100%.  This has been achieved by ground breaking research from the Linus Pauling Institute. This is just one example of evidence based nutrition. I reccomend Statinzyme to amost all of my patients. But there are exceptions too, since Statinzyme has high levels of fatty acids it can lower someones blood pressure. So if you suffer from low blood pressure, this may be an issue for you.

To make a long story short, do your research and make sure you are the captain of your own health care. It is your body and ultimately you are in charge.  Take time and read the studies!

Hi Dr. Paul!

No more night time legs.... you know the kind that make you want to scream in pain! I have dealt with that for over 2 years. That and feeling like my legs feel like lead weights when walking, never going up steep hills or climbing stairs.

I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to different and unfamiliar medications. Well I will tell that Dr. Paul is for real! He took the time to explain about COQ10, which is the main ingredient in Statinzyme! Then he explained the benefits of using it. I don't know how many questions I asked but he patient and answered each one. That in itself was worth the price to try it and I have no regrets. You call and he will somehow get back you a soon as he can!!

I have cholesterol issues and have to Statins to help with levels. Unfortunately, the doctors don't tell you that at certain levels of the meds there are side effects like leg cramps and tiredness.... You know what I mean!

Since I have using Statinzyme I have been able to increase Simvastatin to a level that works with no side effects. It's a great thing to find something that  works and Dr. Paul Faerstein who is the real deal!

Well I am literally on the way to run and with my grand-daughters and a large has to do with Statinzyme!

Statin Side Effects Like Memory Loss and Muscle Pain Are the Target of A New Herbal Supplement

Statin Side Effects Like Memory Loss and Muscle Pain Are the Target of A New Herbal Supplement

Statin Side Effects: Can they Be Avoided?

        Liver damage, muscle pain, joint pain, muscle cramping, mental confusion and memory loss and Amnesia are just some of the side effects which you can possibly  experience. What do you do? Listen to your doctor and take the meds anyway? Do you try to ignore the data out there and just hope it doesn't happen to you.

          Well as a pharmacist and a health proffessional I would not ignore the hype. Knowledge is power, and the more you acquire the better off you will be. And the general body of knowledge says that most statin side effects can be attributed to a real life phenomenon known as "Drug Nutrient Depletion".   You take a drug and that drug has a mechanism of action or another way to think of it is the drug causes a chemical reaction in our body. In the case of statins, they inhibit the livers' ability to  produce cholesterol which is good if you have high cholesterol. Makes sense... Lower your cholesterol and live another 20-30 years. The down side is that statins inhibit your bodies production certain crutial enzymes, vitamins and fatty acids. Especially the statin usually effects the liver and muscles and joints. If you simply replenish your body with the nutrients and supplements your statin is robbing you of, you can actually avoid pesky statin side effects.  There is a great formula that I created called Statinzyme. Watch our video at www.statinzyme.com to learn more. Statinzyme is a supplemental formula that has 9 ingredients at the right dosages that can help prevent and relieve the side effects associated with statins. Statinzyme is also enteric coated. As a pharmacist, it is important for people to realize that enteric coating is very important if you want your supplement to work. 

Stay tuned for more info,
