Describes Q10 benefits for elderly people
Coenzyme Q10 and Antibiotics
Our cells contain a nucleus and many interesting organelles. Among the organelles in our cells, the mitochondria are especially interesting. Originally, far back in time, [...]
What Causes Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency
Coenzyme Q10 plays a central role in cell metabolism. Consequently, CoQ10 deficiency is associated with a wide range of disorders. Supplementation with CoQ10 or with CoQ10 combined with selenium reduces mortality by nearly 50% in patients with heart failure and senior citizens.
Coenzyme Q10 and Aging and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
As we get older, our cells undergo altered mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to reduced cellular energy generation, increased oxidative stress, and increased systemic inflammation. CoQ10 supplementation is a therapeutic strategy to protect heart function.
Coenzyme Q10 and Anti-aging Effects
As we get older, our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10. We need CoQ10 supplementation. The absorption of CoQ10 supplements varies widely, depending upon the manufacturer’s formulation. Be sure to buy a CoQ10 supplement with documented absorption and clinical efficacy.
Coenzyme Q10 and Selenium for Better Cognitive Function
Elderly individuals who have low Coenzyme Q10 and selenium status are at risk of cognitive decline. In the KiSel-10 Study, daily supplementation with a combination selenium and CoQ10 supplements slowed the aging process. The joint supplementation can improve cognitive function.
Coenzyme Q10 and Selenium Prevent Telomere Shortening, Slow Biological Aging
The aging process is, seemingly, reversible. Harvard professor Dr. David Sinclair and his Harvard University research team have been conducting experiments with mice that show [...]
Coenzyme Q10 for People Over 65 Years of Age
Sufficient intakes of Coenzyme Q10 are increasingly important as we age. Our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10 as we progress from middle [...]
Coenzyme Q10 for Longevity
Interesting statistics regarding life expectancy and longevity in the United States: Individuals with no chronic conditions by age 67 years can expect to live [...]
Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation for Elderly Persons
Supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 has primarily made use of the oxidized form called ubiquinone. It is the stable form of Coenzyme Q10, the form [...]
Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation in Ageing and Disease
In the Mechanisms of Ageing and Development journal, Professor Jan Aaseth, Professor Urban Alehagen, and I have published a review of the research literature [...]
