Gregory Chandler on COQ-10: the Anti-Aging Antioxidant

Coenzyme Q-10 (COQ-10) is known by many as the anti-aging antioxidant. Recently, COQ-10 has been studied as a depression fighter and aid to those with chronic fatigue syndrome.

In a depression study, researchers compared COQ-10 blood levels in 35 depressed people who had not responded to anti-depressants to 22 healthy people. More than half of the depressed group had lower levels of COQ-10 than the lowest levels in the healthy group. Doctors also found that those with lower COQ-10 were more likely to have chronic fatigue syndrome.

In a related study, researchers compared COQ-10 levels in 58 people with chronic fatigue syndrome to 22 healthy people and found that nearly half had lower levels of COQ-10 than the lowest levels in the healthy group.
