Another supplement that is gaining popularity for its benefits for the heart is CoQ10 supplements. These supplements claim to maintain a healthy level of coenzyme in the body, and thereby help support healthy cellular function and maintain a healthy heart.
Dr. Levine, however, has a different opinion on these supplements. The doctor expresses that most of them are only vain claims. “They sell this stuff on TV, saying it is good for the heart. Again, a big lie,” he said.
“While some people feel it helps reduce the aches and pains from statins, others feel it’s more of a placebo effect. No one should make that statement. It’s not true. It’s false. CoQ10 is not associated with better heart outcomes,” he explained.
