As we get older, our cells undergo altered mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to reduced cellular energy generation, increased oxidative stress, and increased systemic inflammation. CoQ10 supplementation is a therapeutic strategy to protect heart function.
As we get older, our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10. We need CoQ10 supplementation. The absorption of CoQ10 supplements varies widely, depending upon the manufacturer’s formulation. Be sure to buy a CoQ10 supplement with documented absorption and clinical efficacy.
Elderly individuals who have low Coenzyme Q10 and selenium status are at risk of cognitive decline. In the KiSel-10 Study, daily supplementation with a combination selenium and CoQ10 supplements slowed the aging process. The joint supplementation can improve cognitive function.
Study shows Coenzyme Q10 and selenium in combination may be an epigenetic factor for increasing sirtuin levels, slowing biological aging, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease death. CoQ10 and selenium supplementation promotes longevity and improves quality of life.
Four years of combined Coenzyme Q10 and selenium supplementation in the KiSel-10 Study is associated significantly with increased serum Sirtuin1 concentrations and with reduced cardiovascular mortality in a 10-year follow-up sub-study.
The aging process is, seemingly, reversible. Harvard professor Dr. David Sinclair and his Harvard University research team have been conducting experiments with mice that show [...]
Coenzyme Q10 and selenium in combination slow down the aging-related shortening of telomeres and thus contribute to longevity - to a longer and healthier [...]
Sufficient intakes of Coenzyme Q10 are increasingly important as we age. Our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10 as we progress from middle [...]
There is a special biological interrelationship between Coenzyme Q10 and selenium. From a cardiologist’s perspective, there is a theoretical advantage in using both substances to prevent heart disease if the patients’ intakes are sub-optimal [Alehagen & Aaseth 2015a].
Interesting statistics regarding life expectancy and longevity in the United States: Individuals with no chronic conditions by age 67 years can expect to live [...]
