The Documented Anti-Aging Combo

The KiSel-10 Study

The large Swedish Clinical Trial, named KiSel-10¹, showed how seniors can improve their quality of life and health through a 4-year-long trial. The study results were published in 2013 in The International Journal of Cardiology. 443 healthy seniors were divided into two groups. The experiment group was administered 2 x 100µg SelenoPrecise® and 2 x 100 mg of Pharma Nord's CoQ10, and the control group was administered placebos. After 4 years, researchers were able to show a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The group that received the selenium CoQ10 combo achieved a significant 54% reduction in the risk of dying from heart disease. Moreover, the data showed significantly lower levels of a known biomarker for heart disease, and the echocardiograms of the study participants receiving the active treatment showed significantly better heart function.

In 2022, a follow-up study documented an anti-aging effect of this supplement.

The Telomere Attrition substudy

In 2022, the researchers examined blood samples from the participants back in week 42 of the KiSel-10 study. The researchers measured the length of the ends of the chromosomes, called telomeres, on the white blood cells. These are representative of the telomere length of the entire body's telomeres, and the length of the telomeres is also a method for assessing the body's biological age.

The substudy showed significantly less shortening of the telomeres and a reduced incidence of cardiovascular mortality in the participants who had received SelenoPrecise and CoQ10 compared to the group who had received inactive placebo supplements. The effect was seen in both men and women.

Long-term supplementation of Bio-SelenoQ10 thus shows:

• Improved Cardiovascular Health

• Reduced Mortality

• Anti-Aging Effects

Under updating with 2022 research data

A number of scientific sub-studies of the KiSel-10 study clarified many of the biological mechanisms that the combined supplementation of selenium and Q10 proved to benefit. At headline level, it is about:

•     Anti-inflammation
•     Antioxidant
•     Reduced fibrosis
•     Improved endothelial functions

The likely conclusion is that it is the combination of the above effects that resulted in reduced cardiovascular mortality, improved heart function, and improved health-related quality of life.

SelenoPrecise is a patented* selenium yeast containing selenomethionine and more than 30 different organic selenium species. It has been developed for the sake of emulating the diversity of selenium types found in a varied diet. For SelenoPrecise, we can document that 88.7% of the selenium content is absorbed in the body. This widely used selenium yeast is highly reproducible and therefore ideal for scientific research due to the need for a reliable and homogenous outcome. SelenoPrecise is documented in over 40 scientific studies (published).

Pharma Nord has spent more than 25 years developing and optimizing Coenzyme Q10 for the sole purpose of producing a CoQ10 preparation that scientifically can document superior bio-availability and quality. A long range of clinical studies have demonstrated that the softgels from Pharma Nord in which the CoQ10 is dissolved in vegetable oil using a patented preheating technique and encapsulated in soft gelatin capsules away from light gives a higher bio-availability than other formulations.

Softgels with a unique oil

Also you cannot compare the soybean oil used in Pharma Nords Q10 with soybean oil used in cooking. The oil is control analyzed for the content of estrogen at an external laboratory and is completely free of estrogen and estrogen-like substances. The oil is only partially hydrognated. A minor part of the oil has to be hydrogenated in order for the oil to reach a certain viscosity. Only then can we achieve the best absorption in the body of the Q10 content.

These targeted efforts are the reason why Pharma Nord's CoQ10 today is the most sold CoQ10-brand in Europe and is the CoQ10 preparation that is officially used in international CoQ10 research represented by the International Coenzyme Q10 Association (ICQA).
