The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies to tell you what supplements affect Endothelial Function.
Full details on all Endothelial Function supplements are available to Examine Plus members.
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Supplement |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Minor

Very High See all 5 studies |
The effective size does not appear to be overly large, but CoQ10 is associated with a protective effect on blood flow and endothelial function in persons with otherwise impaired function.

|
|
Minor
|
Very High See all 4 studies |
There appears to be a slight increase in vascular reactivity and blood vessel responsiveness that may be independent of both blood flow alterations and blood pressure

|
Minor
|
Moderate See 2 studies |
Unreliable improvements in endothelial function, notably in persons with impaired glucose tolerance/type II diabetes, associated with the supposed increase in nitric oxide
