Coenzyme Q10

This antioxidant occurs naturally in cell mitochondria and makes the key molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which controls protein production and muscle contraction. People with high cholesterol and those with congestive heart failure generally have low coenzyme Q10 levels. Although statins—drugs frequently prescribed to combat high cholesterol—deplete the body’s Co-Q10 stores, supplements can restore levels and even relieve the muscle pain that statins commonly cause, according to a 2007 study published in the American Journal of Cardiology.

How it works: Studies show that Co-Q10 supplements may lower blood pressure and help prevent and combat cardiovascular diseases by acting as an antioxidant and curbing blood-clot formation.

Take note: “A dose of 100 to 200 mg per day is used for most cardiovascular concerns, but much higher doses may be appropriate for specific conditions,” Pizzorno says.
