Can CoQ10 Help Protect Your Heart?
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is more than just a supplement—it plays a central role in how our cells create energy, especially in the heart. This comprehensive review from Antioxidants looked at dozens of human studies and found that CoQ10 may help reduce blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and even support recovery after heart attacks and heart failure. While results vary depending on the dose and formulation, there’s enough evidence to consider CoQ10 as part of a heart-healthy plan, especially if you’re on statins.
