What is GG-PRIME™?
Your Body’s Anchor: Geranylgeraniol (GG)
Prenylation is a vital process where proteins attach to cell membranes to function properly. To anchor these proteins, the body relies on Geranylgeraniol (GG).
Without GG, essential proteins float aimlessly in cells, unable to perform muscle function and repair. This process is critical for maintaining muscle strength and stability.
How Statins Affect Muscle Function
While statins help manage cholesterol, they also reduce GG production, impairing proteins that support muscle health. This can lead to muscle-related issues, including weakness, aches and stiffness.
GG-PRIME: Supporting Muscle Health
GG-PRIME™ provides naturally derived Geranylgeraniol (GG) to support healthy protein function within cells, helping muscles stay strong and flexible. Adding GG-PRIME to your daily routine ensures your muscles get the anchor they need—especially if you're taking statins.
Why Choose GG-PRIME™?
- Supports Muscle Function: Helps maintain processes essential for healthy muscle performance.
- Promotes Strength and Stability: Ensures proteins work properly to keep muscles strong and agile.
- Ideal for Statin Users: Replenishes GG levels without interfering with statin therapy.
Maintain Muscle Health with GG-PRIME
Stay active, strong, and anchored with GG-PRIME. Replenish your body’s natural GG levels and give your muscles the anchor they need—whether you're managing cholesterol or optimizing muscle health.
"If you don’t make enough GG, you’re going to have muscle problems, CoQ10 problems... GG is also required for the synthesis of vitamin K2 MK-4, which is essential for bone and cardiovascular health"
Dr. Barrie Tan, renowned biochemist and expert in lipid-soluble nutrients, specializing in Geranylgeraniol (GG).

MUSCLE
Studies show significant benefits for muscle health by preventing statin-induced muscle fatigue, improving mitochondrial function, and mitigating muscle atrophy. Studies indicate that GG can enhance muscle strength, reduce inflammation, and support overall muscle cell health*
-
ENERGY
Significantly enhances mitochondrial health and boosts energy production. Acts as a precursor for CoQ10 synthesis, supporting efficient ATP generation, and improves mitochondrial quality and function, preventing damage and promoting optimal energy metabolism.*
-
Bone
A building block for Vitamin K2 (MK4). Supports bone and cardiovascular health by promoting proper calcium utilization, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and arterial calcification. Healthy Vitamin K2 levels also have potential benefits for dental health, inflammation reduction, cancer prevention, brain health, and insulin sensitivity.*

Geranylgeraniol’s Effect on Muscle
- Muscle Growth: Stimulates new muscle cell formation and supports growth through mTOR signaling and protein synthesis.
- Prevents Muscle Breakdown: Blocks Atrogin-1, reducing muscle wasting and maintaining mass, even during inactivity or injury.
- Enhances Muscle Function: Improves strength, endurance, and energy production by boosting mitochondrial function.
Geranylgeraniol helps build new muscle tissue, protects existing muscle from breakdown, and optimizes performance by providing the energy needed for contraction.
Studies link low GG levels to statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), with research showing that statin-induced muscle damage results from a geranylgeranylation defect.
BOOST ENERGY
Mitochondria: The Powerhouse of the Cell
Each muscle cell contains thousands of mitochondria, responsible for producing over 90% of the body’s energy.
How GG Supports Mitochondrial Health
- Promotes Mitophagy: Clears damaged mitochondria, improving cellular health.
- Prevents Damage: Reduces mitochondrial fragmentation by lowering the fission protein DRP1.
- Boosts CoQ10 Levels: CoQ10 is essential for energy production but declines with age—and statins can reduce CoQ10 by 40%.
Why GG-PRIME™ is Key for Energy and Statin Users
- Building Block of CoQ10: GG is essential for CoQ10 synthesis.
- Superior Absorption: GG enters cells more easily than CoQ10 due to its smaller size.
- More Effective Than CoQ10: Studies show GG offers broader protection against statin toxicity while maintaining cholesterol-lowering benefits.
GG-PRIME™ efficiently restores mitochondrial function and supports energy levels, making it ideal for anyone managing cholesterol or seeking to optimize cellular health.
“GG is required in the body for the synthesis of CoQ10. This is the first time we’ve ever made a supplement to help make CoQ10. Right now, there’s nothing else out there to help the body to make CoQ10 except GG”
- Dr. Barrie Tan
Statin Facts
Statins are the most prescribed drug in the U.S., with 40 million Americans taking them daily.
Statins prevent major cardiovascular events and help people live longer.
HOWEVER:
- 1 in 4 may experience muscle pain or weakness
- Statins reduce CoQ10 levels by 40% on average - vital for energy production
"When people take statins, GG drops, then CoQ10 drops... CoQ10 drops when you take statin because the building block of CoQ10 is GG"
- Dr. Barrie Tan
THE GG-PRIME™ HIGHWAY
The Mevalonate Pathway
Imagine a two-lane highway stretching from New York to Miami. Along this route, there are off-ramps leading to cities that manufacture essential components for life. Near the beginning of this highway, statins set up a roadblock, effectively narrowing the highway to a single lane - reducing traffic flow by about half.
The off-ramp for cholesterol production is located at Philadelphia. Statins, by reducing traffic flow, can slow the production of cholesterol in half.
A job well done by statins.
However, the highway continues, and traffic is still slow going with only one lane open. Despite the bottleneck, the road stretches onward toward destinations creating vital components for muscle maintenance (protein prenylation), energy production (CoQ10), and support for bone and artery health (Vitamin K2).
Around Washington D.C., our body creates geranylgeraniol (GG). GG formation comes after the cholesterol off-ramp, but is reduced because of the statin road block. GG goes on to form the previously mentioned components.
Supplementing with GG-PRIME™ (containing 150 mg of pure geranylgeraniol [GG]) is like building an on-ramp, supporting the flow of traffic to a normal speed. This can help increase the flow of traffic to the aforementioned destinations, supporting muscle function, energy levels, and bone health without effecting statins ability to reduce cholesterol.
