An echocardiography revealed that those taking the CoQ10 and selenium supplement had considerably higher heart function scores than those receiving the placebo. Also, supplementation with selenium and coenzyme Q10 for 42 months protected telomeres in an elderly population with low selenium levels. Those with shorter telomeres at 42 months had a higher risk of cardiovascular death during the six-year follow-up. Less telomere shortening was associated with longer survival. In a recent study published in the Free Radical Biology and Medicine, researchers have uncovered promising results regarding the use of selenium and coenzyme Q10 supplements in improving heart health among elder...
