Pharma Nord's coenzyme Q10 preparation is a reference product for the International Coenzyme Q10 Association. Pharma Nord also actively supports scientific research into the health benefits of coenzyme Q10, and has launched Q-symbio, a large multinational study, investigating coenzyme Q10's potential as an adjuvant for treating chronic heart failure. The remarkable, preliminary results are, that Coenzyme Q10 decreased all cause mortality by half. This was presented by lead author Professor Svend Aage Mortensen at the congress Heart Failure 2013 held from 25-28 May in Lisbon, Portugal. The Q-symbio study randomised 420 patients with severe heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV) to CoQ10 or placebo and followed them for 2 years. The product used in the Q-symbio study was Pharma Nord's 100 mg Q10 in soft-gel capsules (Myoqinon).

Famous quotes containing the words research and and/or research:
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
