How Juvisync works in the bodySimvastatin is a medication used to help reduce cholesterol. It works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. This forces the liver to increase its production of LDL and VLDL receptors, which increases the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the liver. Simvastatin also has some other beneficial effects on the body, such as improving endothelial function and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. It has also been found to bind to a protein that helps regulate T-cell activation in the body.
