Beneficial effects of CoQ10 have been reported in the treatment of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Learn the difference between a cardiovascular risk marker and a treatment that prevents events.

Most people have never heard of homocysteine , yet this small molecule may hold the key to understanding inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and many chronic conditions. For decades, homocysteine was viewed as a toxic substance in the blood. Doctors were taught that lowering it with B-vitamins might reduce heart disease risk. But research results were inconsistent, leaving many physicians unsure whether homocysteine truly mattered. New research and clinical observations are changing that view. We introduce a new framework called the Purser Model , which explains why ho

Homocysteine rarely gets the attention of cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure. It should. When homocysteine becomes elevated, it has been associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, blood clots, and other he

Natural Support for Pain Management Chronic pain is a common and complex problem affecting 20–30% of the population of Western countries. The pharmaceutical industry has garnered billions of dollars in painkiller and anti-inflammatory sales, yet this hasn’t come without potential health risks to consumers from a well-documented crisis level of opioid addiction to frequent gastrointestinal complications and an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. We witness these side effects with an understanding that pharmaceuticals may provide partial, and not always full relief from chronic

Woman: Look After Your Heart, Here’s Why What does someone with heart disease look like? A stressed out CEO? A smoker over 50? Whatever image came to your mind, chances are it was of a male. We think of heart disease as a male problem, but did you know that more women die of heart disease than men? It's now the leading cause of female deaths worldwide. Yet up until recently, two-thirds of all heart health research has focussed exclusively on men. What’s wrong with this picture? If you’re a woman at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) there is good news - researchers are now stepping up to clo
