Coenzyme Q-10
Now this is good stuff but expensive.
Great for heart patients. I have taken this myself but it is costly. More info below:
What the studies show

Interest in CoQ-10 grew in the early 1970s when researchers found that patients with congestive heart failure had much lower levels of it in their hearts and suggested that CoQ-10 supplements could help improve their heart function. Since then studies have yielded inconsistent results, and many have been poorly designed. However, three years ago two good studies on CoQ-10 and heart failure, one in Australia and one in Maryland, found no benefit. The research on CoQ-10 and hypertension remains sketchy, though one small study in 2001 did find it could significantly lower blood pressure in half of older people with hypertension. While not approved for any therapeutic use in the U.S., CoQ-10 is an accepted treatment for cardiovascular disease in Japan.

In a promising study on CoQ-10 and early-stage Parkinson’s disease published in October, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that very large doses of CoQ-10 (along with vitamin E) appeared to slow the progression of the disease. It reduced the decline in neurological function and improved daily life. The study was small, however, and the researchers said that its findings would have to be confirmed by a larger trial before they would recommend CoQ-10.

Research into other potential benefits of CoQ-10 supplements—for HIV, cancer, or other diseases—is more theoretical and/or preliminary. So far studies suggest that CoQ-10 does not improve exercise performance or fight gum disease.
