Plaque in arteries

[-SD-]

Is there anything to prevent this, or to be done about it once its there? Thanks

Have heard COQ10 strengthens arteries and cleans out accumulated plaque

Well if it gets to be too much of an issue, the doctor can always put in a coronary stent! Seriously though, hope this is just a "what if" type question. Plaque in the arteries is no good bro.

Oh the previous rely is correct. Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to help prevent the accumulation of arterial plaque, and MAY help "clean" plaque deposits from arteries. The later is not yet proven conclusively.

Vitamin E is also beneficial.

The reason why coenzyme Q10 help prevent the deposition of plaque in arteries is because they are antioxidants that prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidising. It is oxidised low density lipoproteins (LDL) that cause arterial plaque deposition
