CoQ10 appears to slow the progressive deterioration of function in the early stages of Parkinson's, according to scientists at the University of California San Diego. Patients who received the highest dose (1,200 mg) showed a decline in mental function and muscle movement that was about 40 percent less than those in the placebo group.

It is believed that CoQ10 can be used both therapeutically and as a preventative for a number of diseases. CoQ10 plays such an essential role that it is found in every cell in the body.

The human body can create a small amount of CoQ10 but requires supplementation through diet. Supplementing your diet with CoQ10 increases the concentration of CoQ10 within the body without affecting the body’s own ability to synthesize the compound.

Levels of CoQ10 in our body fall naturally with advancing age, starting at around age 20.
Some doctors believe that the supplementation of CoQ10 should begin at age 40.
