Women's Heart Risk Is Increasing

By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs

Actress Elizabeth Banks (who plays Effie Trinket in “The Hunger Games” movies) once appeared in a public service announcement called “A Little Heart Attack,” which was about a working mother of two who is unaware she's experiencing a cardiac event.

Banks' character is so absorbed in multitasking — doing the laundry, taking a work phone call, making lunch for her kids — that she never asks herself what's causing her excessive sweating, nausea, jaw tightening, and breathlessness.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

Her son Googles “women's heart attack symptoms” and eventually she calls 911, saying she's sorry to be a bother, but she thinks she's had “a little heart attack.”

That “forging ahead” approach to heart health isn't uncommon for women. One study found that women wait 37 minutes longer than men to seek treatment for a heart attack.

That's not smart, especially because middle-age women are increasingly hard-hit by heart disease.

According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017 the death rates from heart disease in women ages 45 to 64 increased by 7%, compared with 3% for men.

If you’re not up to speed on women's heart attack symptoms (only about 56% of women know heart disease is their No. 1 killer), they include the traditional ones like chest pressure and chest pain, as well as sore left arm, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, sweatiness, discomfort in the jaw, neck, and/or shoulders, severe fatigue, bad indigestion, and even a sense of impending doom.

If you think you're having a heart attack, call 911. Don't tough it out. Better safe than sorry.

Many people have heard of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), but don’t really understand the crucial role it plays in health.

CoQ10 is a natural, vitamin-like substance found in body cells, particularly in organs with higher energy needs — like the heart.

All cells contain mitochondria, microscopic “powerhouses” that generate life-giving energy. CoQ10 plays a vital part in this energy production process.

In addition to enhancing cellular energy production in the heart, brain, and other organs, CoQ10 provides additional benefits. During energy production, cell-damaging free radicals are formed as byproducts of this oxidation process. And as a powerful antioxidant, CoQ10 helps counteract this oxidative stress, further supporting the health of cells in the heart and other organs.

Research also indicates that CoQ10 helps promote the health of the endothelium, or inner lining of blood vessels. This is important to cardiovascular health because it supports normal circulation and balanced inflammation.

Aging Adults & Statin Users Need More CoQ10

Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels decrease with age. In fact, CoQ10 levels are highest in the first 20 years of life, but decline gradually after that point. By the fourth decade, CoQ10 levels may have dropped as much as 30%.

Statin drugs used for cholesterol also deplete natural levels of CoQ10. Because of these issues, renowned cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall decided to work with experts at the premium supplement company Medix Select to develop the advanced formula COTREXIN® with CoQ10.

Why Most CoQ10 Is a Waste of Money

Many traditional CoQ10 supplements provide less than 200 mg a day of CoQ10, so they are unlikely to deliver significant cardiac benefits. In addition, typical CoQ10 is very poorly absorbed by the body.

The reason most CoQ10 is poorly absorbed is because it is insoluble in water and soluble in oil. With the body being up to 60% water, most of the CoQ10 doesn’t dissolve and is excreted in the urine — literally flushed away.

That’s why Dr. Crandall added BioPerine® black pepper fruit extract to COTREXIN. This patented nutrient increases absorption levels and bioavailability by up to 30%.

And unlike many typical supplements, COTREXIN offers a full 200 mg of CoQ10 per daily serving of two capsules. But Dr. Crandall didn’t stop there. He added another ingredient to the COTREXIN formula.

COTREXIN Includes Omega-3s for
Added Cardio Support

COTREXIN contains 850 mg of omega-3s per daily serving, with 650 mg of EPA and 100 mg of DHA.

Scientific research has shown that omega-3s found in fish oil, including EPA and DHA, promote heart health and normal cholesterol. Omega-3s also promote normal inflammatory balance. In addition, DHA supports brain health.
