muscle aches, NO sex drive or interest in sex at all been on zoco...

Bruce, sexual dysfunction is a common compaint from statin users. And due to the private nature of the symptom, I think its a safe guess that this side effect goes way under-reported.

Here is why statins cause sexual dysfuntion in both males and females: All your steroid hormones are made from cholesterol. when the bodies ability to manufacture cholesterol is inhibited, we pose the risk of inhibiting the production of testosterone.

For a clear visual picture of what I am explaining, google " steroid hormone cascade" and choose the top site that has zrt labs in the description. Look at the easy to understand color hormone chart. Pretty cool hugh? See how everything comes from LDL cholesterol? Yes thats right. The one marketeers call bad choleserol. It forms Testosterone.

So when we reduce LDL through artificial means, cholesterol isn't the only thing that "drops."

Hope this helps.
