CoEnzyme Q10 has shown the ability to protect nerve cells and potentially lower the risk of various degenerative diseases.
Cells in the brain and nervous system depend on optimal mitochondrial function for energy. A research study published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease showed that oxidative stress causes mitochondria to produce excessive free radicals, leading to nerve cell damage and destruction. Due to its function in the mitochondrial energy process and its role as an antioxidant, researchers evaluated CoEnzyme Q10 for its ability to protect nerve cells.
The results of this study revealed that CoEnzyme Q10 inhibits the production of free radicals by the mitochondria and stabilizes the mitochondrial membrane when nerve cells are subjected to oxidative stress. CoEnzyme Q10 may therefore have a potential benefit in reducing the risk of various neurodegenerative diseases.

This is a great study emphasizing the actual processes that a nutritional supplement is effecting in the human body. It's not merely a case of correlation but of causation in that the CoQ10 is inhibiting the production of free radicals! This is very encouraging for anyone who has suffered neurological damage from an accident or disease.
We strongly recommend the Coenzyme Q10 product produced by USANA Health Sciences called CoQuinone 30. This is one of the best and highest rated pharmaceutical grade CoQ10 supplement on the market, providing 30 mg of CoQ10 in every capsule.

This supplement is overlooked by much of the population for its anti oxidant properties. Thanks for the great info.
