Congestive Heart Failure
Supplements studied for congestive heart failure.
Overview
Congestive heart failure has the strongest supplement signal for Coenzyme Q10 (31 studies). Added to usual therapy, coenzyme Q10 may reduce mortality and hospitalization and slightly improve exercise tolerance and breathlessness in available research.
L-Carnitine and Hawthorn show mixed symptomatic benefits in smaller heart failure trials without consistent effects on hard outcomes. Selenium combined with coenzyme Q10 over several years reduced cardiac deaths in older adults with low baseline selenium. Panax Ginseng improved assessed heart function in one small short trial without a control group. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
