A new study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science suggests higher blood levels of CoQ10 may improve the outcomes for patients being treated for severe trauma. 40 patients participated in this study in 2018 and 2019. Patient groups were divided into 2 groups, the treatment group and the placebo group. The treatment group was…
A new 11 year-long study found individuals with the highest intake of Vitamin C had a 70% reduced risk of Cardiovascular mortality. Over 22,000 participants were recruited for this ongoing study prior to March of 2014. The final number of participants for this particular Vitamin C study excluded participants for various reasons like prevalent cardiovascular…
According to a new meta-analysis, daily Vitamin C supplementation may lower levels of LDL Cholesterol by 5%. This reduction in LDL (bad) Cholesterol aids in reducing Cardiovascular Disease risk factors. Over 400 individuals with High Blood Pressure participated in these 13 randomized clinical studies chosen for this meta-analysis which was published in the Journal of…
A new meta-analysis shows that Phytosterols’, mostly known for their Cholesterol reducing potential, may also help support healthier Blood Pressure. 19 clinical trials were reviewed and data was pooled and analyzed. Results showed that Phytosterol supplementation may reduce Systolic Blood Pressure by an average of 1.55 mmHg and Diastolic Blood Pressure by .84 mmHg. These…
According to a research review published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, long term Probiotic supplementation may control Blood Pressure. Over 540 adults with either normal or elevated Blood Pressure participated in the 9 studies reviewed by these researchers. The analysis of the study results found Probiotic supplementation reduced Systolic Blood Pressure (top number)…
A new study shows higher levels of CoQ10 (Co Enzyme Q10), an antioxidant, in the blood may aid in reducing the severity of muscle damage seen in professional football players over 2 separate seasons. Professional football players from the Spanish First League participated in this study. CQ1I0 levels in the blood in addition to stress…
According to a new meta-analysis, supplementation of the amino acid L-Carnitine has been shown to reduce both systolic blood pressure and waist circumference in people suffering from various health conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. 9 randomized controlled trials with over 500 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The participants had underlying health conditions like non-alcoholic…
According to a recent meta-analysis elderly women who supplement with calcium are not at an increased risk of either all-cause mortality or coronary heart disease. Researchers took data from over 18 randomized clinical trials. Over 63,000 individuals participated in the trials with over 3,300 coronary heart disease events (CHD) and over 4,100 deaths. Data from…
A recent study has found patients have an increased risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) when they have a lower serum Calcium Level. The risk of SCA was found to be over 2 times higher in patients with the lowest quartile of serum Calcium when compared with patients in the highest quartile of serum Calcium…
A new mouse study recently published shows Potassium may protect against vascular calcification (hardening of the arteries). Additionally increased aortic stiffness was also seen in the mouse model when compared with normal Potassium fed mice. Arterial stiffness in humans is usually a predictor of heart disease and cardiovascular mortality. Mice prone to atherosclerosis were fed…
