Can cholesterol be too low? In this video, we explain how statins work, their effects on platelets, and the potential risks of very low cholesterol levels.
In this video, we break down how statins work, what happens when cholesterol levels drop too low, and how this may affect your body—especially platelet function and bleeding risk.
If you’ve been told “lower is always better,” this might change how you think about cholesterol.
We explore:
• What LDL cholesterol actually does
• How statins lower cholesterol
• Why platelets may be affected
• The balance between clotting and bleeding
When low cholesterol could become a problem . This is not about fear—it’s about understanding your body and making informed decisions.
