How CoQ10 may help with the heart system?
In a 1998 study of the benefits of CoQ10 in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or sudden heart failure, researchers found that CoQ10, given along with other antioxidant nutrients, was protective. Singh, R.B., et al., concluded, “The antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E and beta-carotene, which were lower initially after AMI, increased more in the coenzyme Q10 group than in the placebo group. These results suggest that coenzyme Q10 can provide rapid protective effects in patients with AMI if administered within three days of the onset of symptoms.
