DID YOU KNOW -- Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient made in the body that supplies the energy required for a variety of functions and is especially supportive of tissues that require a lot of energy, such as the heart muscle, periodontal tissue, and the cells of the body's natural defense system. CoQ10 is reduced by the use of statin drugs. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that adequate supplementation with CoQ10 can reduce mortality rates by half in patients with moderate to severe heart failure.

"Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from" -- Jodie Foster "Normal" blood test results are not necessarily OPTIMAL blood results. When you go for a blood test, your doctor may tell you everything is fine if your results all appear within the “normal” range, however, you still feel unwell and not 100% functionally optimal. In result because the results are “normal”, many individuals do not get treated for the signs and symptoms they are experiencing. The problem is that "normal" blood preference ranges represent the “average” populations of the patient’s age at that moment of time rather than the optimal level required to maintain perfect health. As the population becomes more dysfunctional, obese and suffers from more cardiovascular disease (e.g. strokes, heart attacks and diabetes), the “normal” range gets wider and wider. Therefore, understanding this concept is really the key in improving your health. This is even more so for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Furthermore, checking your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels are merely not adequate enough to determine underlying cardiovascular risks. Additional tests such as hormone panels, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen should be performed to identify early cardiovascular disease which may lead to many potentially fatal complications. Early detection is a fundamental key to preventive medicine. Prevention is the medicine of the millennium and it is what the compounding pharmacy stands for. Remember, normal is not optimal!
