R. Schryer 8 years ago(Edited) I MMWhile adequate intake of magnesium can indeed help prevent heart attacks and other forms of heart disease, as I noted in my review, another nutrient which is important for maintaining a healthy heart is Coenzyme Q10. In my review of Dr. Stephen Sinatra’s important book Coenzyme Q10 and the Heart I pointed out that Coenzyme Q10 (often abbreviated as CoQ10) is essential for human life. CoQ10 catalyzes the formation and utilization of energy in every human cell, including cells of the heart and heart muscle. Fortunately, our bodies manufacture CoQ10. Unfortunately, some people do not manufacture enough CoQ10 to keep them healthy, especially as they grow older. Research has shown that deficiency of CoQ10 is the major cause of cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and other heart diseases and these diseases can often be cured by CoQ10 supplementation. I highly recommend Dr. Sinatra’s book about CoQ10 as well as Dr. Dean’s book The Magnesium Miracle.
