CoQ10: Larger Studies Still Needed
Researchers continue to explore the efficacy of Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in aiding Parkinson’s treatments. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells.

CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age. In many patients with chronic diseases, including PD, low levels of CoQ10 are often reported. Supplemental forms of CoQ10 are available by traditional vitamin distributors, and can even be found at the grocery store.

Unfortunately, research has yet to confirm whether taking CoQ10 as a supplement offers any relief from PD. Larger studies with human subjects are still needed to offer conclusive evidence either way.

What are your thoughts on CoQ10? Do you take the supplement?
