CoQ10 impacts many areas of physical and mental health. For instance, CoQ10 boosts energy and endurance. For more information, visit COQ10 benefits.
One of the most exciting results of the ongoing research on CoQ10 benefits is the role it plays in maintaining and restoring heart health.
Over the years numerous studies have investigated the benefit of Coemzyme Q10 supplementation for improving cardiovascular function and over all heart health. The compound, a potent antioxidant, has been proven to enhance energy production and improve the ability of heart muscles to contract.
Landmark study demonstrates effectiveness
A landmark 1994 study, which involved more than 400 patients with cardiac disease, summarized eight years of research on the usefulness of CoQ10 in clinical cardiology. The patients were supplemented with oral CoQ10 at daily doses of 75-600 mg in addition to their conventional medical regimen, and were followed for an average of 17.8 months.
The clinical response of this study was evaluated according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional scale. The results were very encouraging; 58 percent of patients improved by one NYHA class, 28 percent by two classes, and 1.2 percent by three NYHA classes.
Medical dependency was also tracked, and 43 percent of patients receiving the coQ10 supplements stopped between one and three medications, with no side effects reported.
Continued research confirms role as heart heath helper
A mounting body of research confirms the the benefit of CoQ10 supplementation for various cardiovascular conditions.
- One important clinical study, for example, found that people who received daily CoQ10 supplements within 3 days of a heart attack were significantly less likely to experience subsequent heart attacks and chest pain. In addition, these same patients were less likely to die of heart disease than those who did not receive the supplements.
- CoQ10 supplementation is believed to reduce swelling and blood pooling in the lungs and legs of patients with congestive heart failure.
- Numerous clinical studies suggest that 4 to 12 weeks of CoQ10 supplementation may lower blood pressure
- Clinical studies show that introducing coQ10 supplementation prior to heart surgery can reduce free radical damage, lower the incidence of arrythmias, and shorten recovery time.
- CoQ10 may help prevent heart damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs.
