Coenzyme Q10 improves angina symptoms
We focused on the effectiveness and safety of coenzyme Q10 as a treatment for patients dealing with ischemic heart disease and stable angina, specifically those at class II-III levels. Over the course of eight weeks, participants took a daily dosage of 60 mg of coenzyme Q10 alongside their standard treatment regimen.
The results were promising; we observed that patients reported significant improvements in their clinical status related to angina symptoms. Importantly, this improvement occurred without any major side effects, indicating that coenzyme Q10 could be a beneficial addition to the treatment plan for those living with this condition.
However, it is essential to note that since coenzyme Q10 was used in conjunction with standard treatments, it is challenging to pinpoint its isolated effects conclusively. Future studies could help clarify how well coenzyme Q10 works on its own, but for now, the findings suggest it may be a valuable component of therapy for angina.

Reduced angina attacks
Most Useful Review
My acquaintance with coenzyme Q10 began two years ago when my mother suffered a heart attack. After starting Q10 at 60-90 mg daily, her angina attacks ceased within five months. Now, after two years of use, she feels much better. My husband and I also take Q10, and we've noticed improved energy levels and better health. I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with angina.
Zinc

We explored the effects of high-dose zinc treatment on angina pectoris, particularly in patients suffering from severe atherosclerotic disease. This study reviewed existing literature and focused on how zinc might help reduce symptoms associated with this condition.
Zinc plays a crucial role in fighting oxidative stress, which is known to be a key player in arteriosclerosis and subsequent angina. Our observations indicated that when patients were given high doses of zinc sulfate, increasing their serum zinc levels significantly, many experienced notable improvements in their angina symptoms.
In fact, 12 out of 16 patients reported better outcomes after treatment. Moreover, it was found that long-term exposure to zinc in the environment appeared to lower incidences of exertional angina, reinforcing the idea that zinc could be beneficial.
We hypothesize that zinc may help prevent the oxidation of harmful LDL cholesterol, therefore slowing down the atherosclerosis process crucial to angina development. Additionally, zinc's effects may relate to its ability to inhibit inflammatory markers, which are often elevated in older adults.

Vitamins

We conducted a case-control study to explore the relationship between vitamin D levels and chronic stable angina. This involved comparing 42 patients suffering from chronic stable angina to 42 matched individuals without the condition, all sourced from Cairo University Hospitals.
Our findings revealed a stark contrast in vitamin D levels between the two groups. A staggering 78.6% of the angina patients were found to be severely deficient in vitamin D, compared to just 7.1% of the controls. This significant difference highlights the potential role vitamin D deficiency may play as a risk factor for chronic stable angina.
Moreover, our analysis indicated that increasing vitamin D levels could reduce the chances of developing angina. Specifically, for every 1 ng/ml increase in vitamin D, the likelihood of suffering from chronic stable angina decreased by 30%. This suggests that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels could be an important aspect of managing heart health.
However, it's important to note that while our research establishes a correlation, it does not specifically address any treatment efficacy of vitamin D supplements in patients with angina. Nonetheless, the association we observed prompts further investigation into how improving vitamin D status might benefit cardiovascular health.

I started taking 5,000 IU of Vitamin D daily after years on lower doses. My wife's 15-year battle with night sweats and depression has ended, and her energy has returned. For my angina, which lasted five years, it has also vanished in the last month. We think the higher dose of Vitamin D is responsible. We previously found only temporary relief.

We explored whether vitamin C could help prevent methemoglobinemia, a condition caused by certain medications used to treat angina, particularly in diabetic patients who are at higher risk. In our study, we administered vitamin C to both diabetic and nondiabetic patients taking nitrate drugs, comparing their results with control groups who were not on these medications.
After 30 days of vitamin C treatment at a dose of 500 mg per day, we observed that the levels of methemoglobin in the blood significantly decreased. This indicates that vitamin C may play a protective role when patients use nitrate medications. Furthermore, we noted a reduction in fasting insulin levels and a modest drop in fasting glucose levels, which suggested improved insulin sensitivity among those treated with vitamin C.
In summary, vitamin C could be a beneficial adjunct therapy for people taking nitrate medications for angina, especially those with diabetes.

We frequently suffer from angina, so we bought it without much hope for results. After sucking four tablets a day, it improved the sore throat in four days! These pills have a long shelf life and are reasonably priced.
Magnesium
We examined the effectiveness of a magnesium-based scaffold designed to deliver sirolimus, a drug that helps prevent blood vessel blockages, in patients experiencing angina due to coronary lesions. Over the course of three years, we followed 123 participants enrolled in an international, multicenter study, observing their progress after receiving this treatment.
Remarkably, at the end of the study, a high percentage—91.1%—of patients reported being free from angina symptoms. While the scaffold aimed to improve blood vessel health, we recorded a target lesion failure rate of 6.8%, which is relatively low and included a few serious events like heart attacks and deaths. Notably, no instances of scaffold thrombosis occurred, indicating the treatment was quite safe.
We also did a deeper dive with a smaller group of patients—25 individuals who voluntarily participated in angiographic assessments at 6, 12, and 36 months post-treatment. In these patients, we noted a slight increase in late lumen loss and diameter stenosis, but the increases were not substantial, suggesting that the scaffold maintained its effectiveness even beyond the time it was expected to be absorbed.
Overall, our findings indicate that while the magnesium scaffold shows promise in managing angina, especially in terms of safety, further studies may be needed to fully understand and confirm its benefits over the long term.

I have tried various remedies for my constitution and my mother’s panic disorder, but magnesium has had an immediate effect. My body has been getting weaker due to my job, and I often woke up at night with pain. After taking magnesium, I am now completely pain-free. I have also managed to deal with my vasospastic angina attacks, which I’ve been controlling with nitroglycerin for years. This has been a dramatic bonus for me. I can feel how effective it is for my nerves and muscles. I’m feeling much better now, and I hope it will benefit my mother’s mental health as well.

Definitely had an effect; I bought this supplement thinking it would work like a charm, and it truly did. I purchased it for my mother, who suffered from angina for about a decade, experiencing painful episodes once a month. Despite numerous hospital visits, no abnormalities were found, and I was told it was a psychological issue. However, it occurred even during restful activities, like folding laundry or watching television. After a diagnosis of coronary spasm angina, I started her on coenzyme Q10, which I read could be effective. Remarkably, since she began taking it daily over the past year, she hasn’t had any chest pains. Occasionally, if she misses it for a week, she feels a familiar pain, but it subsides before it can develop. I am grateful as it has brought her peace of mind regarding her heart.

Ubiquinol is effective for anti-aging, recovering from fatigue, and preventing heart conditions, such as arrhythmia and angina pectoris. I prefer it to ubiquinone and recommend taking it with PQQ for better results. I previously used to consume 200 mg due to its high cost but have switched to 100 mg. The capsules are easy to swallow, and I find it preferable to take them after an oily meal.
