Studies with CoQ10 have mostly focused on its benefit involving cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure and
hypertension. Furthermore studies have been conducted to test Coenzyme Q10 effect on patients with high cholesterol, diabetes, and Parkinson's daises, however results have not yielded consistent results. Below you will find some other benefits that yielded in various clinical studies.
-Heart Attacks: In a small trial of patients with recent myocardial
infarction, CoQ10 was used in addition to aspirin and cholesterol-lowering
drugs and resulted in decrease the likelihood of further cardiac failures for at least one
year after the initial heart attack. (The dosage of CoQ10 used in the study was 60 mg
twice daily.)
- Heart Failure & Diseases: Studies with CoQ10 have mostly focused on its benefit involving certain
types of cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure and
hypertension, as well as arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), angina (chest pain)
and cardiomyopathies (disease of the heart muscle itself). One study in patients with heart failure showed significant
improvement in functional status, clinical symptoms, and quality of life in
end stage heart failure patients who were placed on CoQ10.
- Energy production: CoQ10 has been shown to improve energy production in
cardiac cells. CoQ10 is also an antioxidant that can neutralize free
radicals associated with many heart problems.
Studies continue, however science has a a long way to go to determine the proper clinical role and benefits of
CoQ10.
- Hypertension: CoQ10 may help lower blood pressure by a small amount in some
users. Further test are being conducted.
- Congestive Heart Failure: also known as CHF occurs when
the heart looses some of its ability to efficiently pump blood throughout
the body causing blood to pool in the lungs and other parts of the body, making it even more
difficult to pump the blood. As a result, the heart must pump increasingly harder, which
eventually leads to heart muscle to grow in size. Free radicals are
known to have a negative impact in heart failure patients and CoQ10 is
believed to provide benefit in neutralizing these free radicals and improving heart functionality.
- Cholesterol: Individuals on cholesterol medicines of the statin class such
as Lipitor and others, may consider taking CoQ10 supplements since statins
decrease blood CoQ10 levels in the body.
- Gum Disease: the tissues of the mouth and gums require increased energy production in order to heal following injury. Because CoQ10 plays a significant role in cellular energy production studies have been done that show the benefits.
At least one study has shown a benefit of CoQ10 for persons with gum disease.
- Other benefits of this supplement are being conducted that include its effect on breast cancer (as an additional component to primary cancer treatment), high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
