Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Supplementation

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays an essential role in cellular energy production and functions as a potent antioxidant, contributing significantly to cardiovascular health. Research reveals that CoQ10 supplementation can lead to reductions in NT-proBNP levels, a biomarker of cardiac stress, and improvements in systolic function with enhancements in ejection fraction of up to 8% (references 1, 2). Moreover, CoQ10 supports diastolic heart function by improving intraventricular septum thickness and myocardial velocities, showcasing its benefits across different cardiac parameters. Statin-intolerant patients have reported substantial symptom relief, and studies consistently highlight CoQ10's ability to reduce oxidative stress markers, further substantiating its role in cardiovascular therapy.
