CoQ10 can boost heart function in heart failure patients: Meta-analysis

CoQ10 can boost heart function in heart failure patients: Meta-analysis | Longevity science | Scoop.it

Data from randomized trials support the ability of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to improve heart function in people with congestive heart failure (CHF), say scientists from Tulane University in New Orleans.

 

The authors caution that the results are based on a small number of clinical trials, and that the benefit may be greatest for less severe cases of heart failure.

Do statins drain your energy?

There is a large population that take 'statin drugs' to lower cholesterol.

 

These drugs are very effective, but can result in muscle pain and fatigue. Why? The drugs deplete the body's natural reserves of CoEnzyme Q10, which is involved in energy production at the cellular level.

 

Fortunately, supplementing with the enzyme can help restore the blood levels and counterract the side effects. But few doctors mention this when they prescribe the drugs.
