Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like compound that plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. It is an essential component of the electron transport chain, which is responsible for producing ATP—the main energy currency in cells. Scientific evidence supports the use of CoQ10 for supporting mitochondrial health, particularly in conditions where mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated, such as in certain neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and age-related decline in cellular energy production.

Multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated that CoQ10 supplementation can improve mitochondrial bioenergetics by enhancing ATP production and reducing oxidative stress within mitochondria. For example, studies in patients with mitochondrial myopathies, heart failure, and Parkinson’s disease have shown modest benefits in symptoms and biochemical markers of mitochondrial function. CoQ10 is also widely recognized for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage.

While more research is needed to fully define its therapeutic scope, the current body of scientific literature provides a strong theoretical and experimental basis for using CoQ10 as a mitochondrial support supplement, especially in populations with documented CoQ10 deficiency or impaired mitochondrial function.
