Improved immune function

While this aspect of CoQ10 benefits is still being studied, a growing body of research indicated that supplemental dosages can result in significantly improved immune function, both in people with AIDS and in those with chronic yeast, bacterial, and viral infections.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine.

It is present in high quantities in the heart muscle and has shown a wide range of benefits.

It is an essential cofactor in the production of adenosine triphosphate, which is the primary source of energy for all the body's cells.

Levels of CoQ10 decline naturally as humans age, which may be related to increased lipid peroxidation.

CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and scavenger of free radicals.

It inhibits lipid peroxidation and works synergistically with vitamin E (Alleva R et al 1995).

CoQ10 has an important role in the stimulation of the immune system and improves several parameters of immune function (Folkers K et al 1985).
