CoQ10 may stall Parkinson's disease


An over-the-counter dietary supplement may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease, a degenerative neurological disorder marked by tremor, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, impaired balance and coordination, and slowing of movements.

The supplement, called coenzyme Q10, is a vitamin-like compound with powerful antioxidant properties that is vital for the proper function of virtually every cell in the human body.

Although it is produced naturally by the body, levels typically dwindle with age.

A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that low levels of coenzyme Q10 play an important role in many age-related diseases.

The results of several recent studies show that individuals with Parkinson’s have lower levels of coenzyme Q10 compared to those without the disorder.

Supplementation with coenzyme Q10 can help boost levels in the body and protect the specific area of the brain damaged by the disease.
