The Evolution of Heart Health Research

Life Extension has been pioneering research in preventing and treating age-related diseases since its inception in 1977. The organization has significantly focused on cardiovascular health, particularly emphasizing the role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in improving heart failure outcomes. Historical research from Japan highlighted the benefits of CoQ10, leading to its recommendation by cardiologists in the U.S. As a result, many patients have experienced longer lifespans and better quality of health through its use, yet less than a quarter of heart failure patients are currently prescribed the appropriate dosages.
