June 2013 A recent European double blind, placebo controlled study using CoQ10 found significantly lower mortality rates and hospitalizations in people with mild to moderate heart failure. The treated cohort was given 100mg of CoQ10 three times daily and was followed over 2 years. In recent years the incidence of heart failure has been on the rise. It is well known that statin drugs block the synthesis of CoQ10 yet many doctors do not routinely supplement their patients when prescribing a statin.

We Can Do Something to Lower Healthcare Costs I was just reading an article about increased healthcare costs and decreased productivity because of obesity. Healthcare costs are 42% higher for obese workers. They are also at increased risk for job related injuries and have an increased rate of absenteeism. The statistics we usually hear are the numbers of those of us who are overweight or obese but think of it another way- that only about 32 percent of Americans are at a healthy weight!
