Live Longer, Take Selenium and
CoQ10
S
elenium is an essential trace mineral.
Getting enough is essential for good
health. Unfortunately, many of us do not get
enough, and doing so is made especially
difficult because you cannot always recognize
selenium-deficient crops as you can when
other mineral deficiencies are present.
Every cell in the body needs selenium to
function properly. CoQ10, another important
nutrient that may be more deficient than
many realize due to the effect of widely used
statin drugs, helps each cell produce energy.
In this study, 668 healthy older adults were
divided into three groups. One group took
200 mcg of selenium plus 200 mg of CoQ10
per day, another group took a placebo, and
the third group took no treatment.
Then, the Doctors divided each of the three
groups into three additional groups--low-
selenium, medium-seleniuym, and
high-seleniu. This was based on how many
micrograms of selenium per liter of blood
they had at the start of the study.
In the group starting with the lowest
circulating levels of selenium, those taking
selenium supplements were 12 percent less
likely to die from heart disease over the four-
year study period compared to placebo or no
treatment. In the middle-selenium group,
chances were 8 percent lower in the
selenium supplement group, and in the high-
selenium group, chances were 4.5 percent
lower for those taking selenium supplements.
In other words, those with the lowest
starting levels of selenium benefited the most
from selenium/CoQ10 supplementation. This
study offers another example of how taking
rational levels of nutritional supplementation
can be a win-win situation. These two
nutrients offer many varied health benefits,
not just improved heart function and reduced
heart-disease related mortality. Much to gain,
and little to lose.
