Coenzyme Q10 and Aging
Biological aging is associated with low plasma CoQ10 concentrations and with the resulting worsening of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation.
CoQ10 supplementation has a positive effect on mitochondrial deficiency syndrome and some of the symptoms of aging.
The bio-energetic and antioxidant effects of Coenzyme Q10 reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in elderly individuals.
