COQ10 AND PINE BARK EXTRACT SYNERGISTICALLY ENHANCE CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH.

A recently published review demonstrates the symbiotic effect of Coenzyme Q10 and pine bark extract for promoting cardiovascular health. In the research overview, the data show patients who supplemented with the pine tree bark extract known as Pycnogenol® and CoQ10 in combination benefited from the collaborative antioxidant effects. The research widely documents CoQ10’s support to the heart muscle, yielding improved ejection fraction, exercise tolerance and cardiac output. As people mature, the amount of CoQ10 in their cells may diminish. Pycnogenol® supplies proanthocyanidins, active compounds that provide antioxidant protection from cell-damaging free radicals. Research on Pycnogenol® has shown numerous cardio benefits including reducing high blood pressure, improving vein health, lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol, reducing platelet activity, relaxing artery constriction and improving circulation. The survey of medical literature strongly suggests that CoQ10 and Pycnogenol® is a seamless combination for improvement of all major cardiovascular ailments. (NPI Center, Feb. 2006)
