This Podcast Will Kill You · Ep 218 The Lowdown on Statins · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

What are the differences between different types of statins?

Great question.

So different types of statins, a lot of the difference is in their potency.

So some statins can lower your LDL cholesterol to a much greater degree than other statins.

The exact of like, why?

I don't know.

Okay.

But that means that we have statins that vary in what we call their intensity.

And by intensity, we mean how much, by what percentage are we lowering your LDL cholesterol?

So if I can give you a medicine that's going to lower your LDL cholesterol by at least 50%, that's considered a high intensity statin regimen.

And if it's by less than 30%, then that's considered a low intensity regimen.

And then there's intermediate in between.

Okay.

Yeah.

Moderate.

There's also differences in like some of them are more lipophilic.

So they're more like fats and some of them are more hydrophilic.

So they're more like they act more like proteins and that they're more like soluble in water.
