Combined daily supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 and selenium for four years has reduced the risk of death from heart disease, reduced biomarker levels of oxidative stress and inflammation, and improved quality of life for Swedish senior citizens, average age 78 years.
Otherwise healthy elderly individuals who get too little selenium from their food may suffer from sub-optimal thyroid function and inflammation of the thyroid. CoQ10 and selenium supplementation is associated with increased thyroid hormone activity and with reduced inflammation.
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.
In our senior years, we want to stay healthy as long as possible. A study of five age-related blood biomarkers shows that daily Coenzyme Q10 and selenium supplements for senior citizens influence the analyzed biomarkers in positive ways, with an anti-ageing effect.
Supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 and selenium cuts the risk of death from heart disease in half. The KiSel-10 Study data show that the joint supplementation significantly reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, which are serious factors in the development of atherosclerosis.
Coenzyme Q10 and selenium supplementation of senior citizens significantly reduces systemic oxidative stress and inflammation and significantly reduces the risk of death from heart disease. The study dosage was 200 mg Coenzyme Q10 and 200 mcg selenium daily for 48 months.
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.
Coenzyme Q10 and selenium in combination. The KiSel-10 Study researchers were curious to see whether the long-term supplementation of senior citizens with Coenzyme Q10 [...]
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].
