The KiSel 10 Study

Coenzyme Q10 and selenium protect the heart:

Swedish cardiologist Urban Alehagen and his research team demonstrated more than 16 years ago that taking selenium and coenzyme Q10 supplements daily is good for the heart. The study, officially known as the KiSel-10 study, found that these nutrients reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease by more than 50%. At the time, the researchers were surprised by the results and did more research.

In four years, eleven additional examinations took place and 50,000 blood samples were processed. They found that the heart-protective effect among participants persisted after the end of the study. In the group that took 200 micrograms of selenium and 200 milligrams of coenzyme Q10 daily for four years, there were more than 40% fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease compared to the placebo group. The effect of the two nutrients was measured for the KiSel-10 study in 443 Swedish healthy men and women aged 70 to 88 years.

Discovered more positive effects:
In addition to reducing mortality from cardiovascular disease, the researchers saw during follow-up that long-term supplementation with selenium and coenzyme Q10 also had a positive effect on heart muscle function. In addition, several markers measured in relation to heart health improved. The researchers could see that the nutrients selenium and coenzyme Q10 enable the heart to pump more easily. There was also less trouble with thickening of the wall of the heart muscle, an effect that can damage the heart.

When it helps healthy people over the age of 70, it can also be good for people with heart problems. Simply because our heart needs nutrients. At least that's how I think about it.

The KiSel-10 study is published in the International Journal of Cardiology.

  KiSel-10 & Q-Symbio: Revolutionary Research An important study into the relationship between Q10 and cardiovascular disease was the KiSel-10 study, named after the location of the research Kisa, selenium and Q10. More than 400 over-70s participated in the study. One half received for 4 years Q10 and selenium supplements every day, the other half placebos (dummy pills). The group that received supplements was up to 54% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease. The heart muscle was also stronger in this group. Another important study was the Q-Symbio study. This showed that Q10 supplements greatly improve the survival rate of people with a weak heart. The use of Q10 supplements also resulted in fewer hospital admissions due to heart problems. So Q10 seems to be very important, not only with aging (when Q10 levels decrease), but for anyone with heart problems. And I also mean heart failure, myocardial infarction and after a stroke.

  Cholesterol, good or bad?! Inflammations can (sometimes) occur in our body and when we have exercised a lot, for example, our body and our muscles will have to recover. Cholesterol is very important in this and so it is good that cholesterol is present in our body. However, when there are too many inflammations in our body and also by the heart, our body will produce more and more cholesterol to deal with those inflammations. When we have too much cholesterol in our body, it can accumulate in the artery walls. And that is not good news, because eventually this can lead to cardiovascular problems. Cholesterol is therefore a building block of our body and is mainly produced in our liver. Statin the best-selling drug in the world! When we have high cholesterol, the doctor prescribes statins to lower the cholesterol. But the statins not only lower cholesterol, but also our body's own substance Co-enzyme Q10.  Q10 is very important for our heart health, so we don't want it to be ...
