One of those is Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10). Some people have reported that taking this supplement did not help them at all, others have had improvement in their EF, while others report a surge in energy when taking them. One symptom or effect of heart failure is fatigue and lack of energy which I definitely experience.
There are many articles online that talk about the benefits of Co Q10 especially for those interested in maintaining heart health. Not many of those articles recommend a brand or even which formulation is best. Initially, I didn't realize that there were multiple options. I started by taking a Co Q10 product that I purchased from Walgreens. I believe it was the Walgreens brand. Some of these can be expensive so I bought them when they were on sale. I took these for over two months and I didn't notice any difference so I decided to do a little more research.
This is when I read that Co Q10 as Ubiquinol is better for heart failure. I read reviews on Amazon and compared prices based on milligrams and decided to buy the Jarrow Formulas brand. I took for several months and I was starting to feel better. My EF improved and I had more energy. As with all vitamins/supplements, I stopped taking them. Recently, I have been having complications and I have been feeling tired. I decided to start taking these again as supplements in addition to the prescription medicines that I have.
