Coenzyme Q10 promotes the normal functioning of stem cell mitochondria. CoQ10 helps to provide the energy needed for stem cell proliferation. CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant to protect stem cells. CoQ10 helps to slow down the shortening of stem cell chromosome telomeres.
Elderly individuals are more susceptible to oxidative stress. As we age, the level of CoQ10 in the blood decreases. There is a shift in CoQ10 redox status toward more oxidized CoQ10. The altered CoQ10 redox state is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality.
Supplementation with CoQ10 and NAD+ boosters is important for middle-aged and older adults. They experience age-related declines in the synthesis of both substances. Then, there is increased mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic low-grade inflammation.
