I argue with my Endocrinologist about using a statin drug for cholesterol issues. Statin drugs are definitely linked to memory loss….Anyone else wonder why Alzheimer’s disease is up with increased us of statin drugs. I Refuse to take it and my cholesterol has been at or around 230 for a few years.

"Statins may reduce dementia risk: A 2018 meta-analysis of 31 studies involving over 3.3 million participants found that statin use was associated with a 15% reduced risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer's dementia. The risk reduction was greater with higher statin doses and longer duration of use. Similarly, a 2023 study on over 15,000 patients with Alzheimer's or mixed dementia found that statin use, especially simvastatin, was associated with slower cognitive decline over time compared to non-users."
Nestle sold the same Mitopure in its Celltrient line. They moved this line to Solgar, which Nestle also now owns. They may have other sales on it.
I first bought the Celltrient at a great discount on Ebay, as some sellers were selling stock with an expiration date only a few months away. I got these for around $25-$30 a month.
Time Line Nutrition has a deal with Truemed that will allow their doctors to prescribe Urolithin A to you. This is free and only requires describing test results or a prior doctor's evaluation of your health. I, too, got this done, in December.
The original Urolithin A available is Mitopure. It's made in Europe. Other manufacturers of Urolithin A now seem to exist, but the items I saw on Amazon a year or two ago looked hokey. It could be different, today.
