Statins Cause Muscle Pain; Muxscle Helps Prevent Myalgia

Jan. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) has learned that according to an article in Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, “taking statins is not risk free.” In fact, the CBCD points out that statins can cause muscle pain.

In fact, according to the same article, statin associated muscle pain, or myalgia, is caused partially by a reduction in CoQ10 in the muscle mitochondria.

Statins such as atorvastatin (Lipitor) are a class of drugs used by patients to lower their cholesterol levels. The best-selling statin is actually Lipitor, manufactured by Pfizer. In 2003, Lipitor became the best-selling pharmaceutical in history. Currently, there are many statins on the market, including atorvastatin (Lipitor and Torvast), fluvastatin (Lescol), lovastatin (Mevacor, Altocor, Altoprev), pitavastatin (Livalo, Pitava), pravastatin (Pravachol, Selektine, Lipostat), rosuvastatin (Crestor) and simvastatin (Zocor, Lipex).

The CBCD suggests that patients taking Lipitor or another statin, and that are experiencing muscle pain and muscle weakness, also consider taking Muxscle.

Muxscle is a dietary supplement that increases physical strength by stimulating the signal that nerves send to muscles. Muxscle has been clinically tested by scientists at the Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD). The scientists found that it safely increased the overall physical strength of the participants in the study. They also found that it improved those daily activities that required the use of physical strength. The study is currently awaiting publication in scientific journals.

An abstract of the scientific study is available on the CBCD website at http://www.cbcd.net/strongstudy.htm. A scientific explanation of the Muxscle effect on the neuromuscular junction is also available on the CBCD website at http://www.cbcd.net/strongersignal.htm.

Those who have a hard time fully understanding the science and terminologies in the CBCD reports should show them to their doctor. A print-ready copy of the abstract is available at http://www.cbcd.net/CBCD-Abstract-of-Muxscle-Clinical-Stu... and the press release at http://www.cbcd.net/Lipitor-And-Muxscle.pdf

Muxscle is sold online through the Gene-Eden website. Each bottle of Gene-Eden-VIR (a one month’s supply) costs just $39.95. Visit http://www.muxscle/com now to learn more and to order.
