Ubiquinol Improves Arterial Health to Support Blood Circulation
In an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center trial, with the primary outcome of change in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in healthy patients with mild-to-moderate dyslipidemia, Ubiquinol significantly improved dyslipidemia-related endothelial dysfunction (P=0.001).
Ubiquinol Helps Support Optimal Heart Health
The role of Ubiquinol in restoring depleted levels of CoQ10 and improving ejection fraction1 In case reports of 29 cardiac patients, those patients who switched to Ubiquinol (average of 334 mg/day) from CoQ10 (average 384 mg/day) for 18 months experienced an increase in average serum CoQ10 level from 2.9 µg/mLRead
Heart Failure or Therapy Failure? Toxins Cause Cardiomyopathy
Because cardiomyopathy presenting as clinical heart failure is a condition typically involving multiple factors, there is no single clinical protocol that can be considered the optimal treatment plan.
Probiotics Show Promise as Treatment for Hypertension
An estimated 40 percent of the global adult population has high blood pressure, or hypertension, which puts people at risk of cardiovascular disease and other dangerous health conditions. Previous studies have connected the rising rates of hypertension to increased sugar consumption. The sweet stuff likely boosts blood pressure through manyRead
Study Sheds Light on Postmenopausal Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation—an irregular, often very rapid, heart rhythm—is a serious condition that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, or other cardiovascular complications. It primarily affects older adults, and more than 12 million people in the U.S. are expected to develop atrial fibrillation by 2030, according to the AmericanRead
Measuring White-Blood-Cell Count in the Saliva Could Spot Early Heart Disease Risk
A study published in Frontiers in Oral Health has identified a simple test that could predict future cardiovascular risk in young, healthy adults.
Peppermint Essential Oil Eases Pain After Heart Surgery
A new study published in BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care finds that an aromatherapeutic treatment with peppermint essential oil can help ease post-surgery pain.
Vitamin D Supplements Reduce Risk of Atrial Fibrillation
A study in the American Heart Journal shows that high doses of vitamin D decrease the risk of atrial fibrillation, a common arrhythmia that leads to heart failure and stroke.
Vitamin D Supplements May Reduce Risk of Cardiovascular Events
Australian researchers, writing in The BMJ, found that people who took vitamin D supplements had a lower risk of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke.
Copper Deficiency May Be a Major Contributing Factor to Cardiovascular Disease
Nutrient deficiencies can be an important factor in cardiovascular health and disease. There has been growing evidence that copper deficiency as well as defective copper metabolism may be a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease. Copper and Enzymes From an article from Healthline: At least 12 enzymes exist in theRead
