Major Blood Pressure Discovery Offers Immediate Solutions

British researchers using state-of-the-art x-ray technology have identified the primary reason blood pressure elevates in the first place. A key regulatory protein that regulates blood pressure, angiotensinogen, is damaged or oxidized by free radicals. This leads to a chain of events that are the source of the elevation of blood pressure. The significance of this discovery to human health and cardiovascular disease cannot be overstated.

Coenzyme Q10 for Heart, Kidneys & Blood Pressure

In the 1990s the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 was recognized as one of the first high-powered anti-aging nutrients. Q10 is required for the final steps of energy production within cells and the lack of it with age results in cells dying faster – a fact that remains true to this day. Systems in your body that rely on high amounts of energy for optimal function, such as your heart and circulatory system, are especially helped by having an adequate supply of Q10. While Q10 is not the only nutrient involved with cardiovascular health, the lack of it as we age, is a major handicap.
