Selenium and Q10: The Key to Healthy Aging and Heart Health? April 24, 2025
A Swedish study published in Nutrients in 2022 has revealed that the combination of selenium and coenzyme Q10 (Q10) can help slow the aging process at the cellular level and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
What does the study show?
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 118 elderly Swedes (70–80 years old) with low selenium levels. The participants received either a selenium and Q10 supplement or a placebo over a period of 42 months. The results showed that those who received the supplements had:
-
Less shortening of telomeres (the DNA ends that protect our cells).
-
Lower mortality related to cardiovascular disease over a 10-year follow-up.
Why is this important?
Telomeres act as protective “caps” on the ends of our DNA strands. As we age, these telomeres shorten, which can lead to cell damage and disease. Selenium and Q10 are powerful antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress, a major cause of telomere shortening and aging.
How can our products support this?
