CoQ10 May Slow Parkinson's
In a recent study involving 80 people, researchers found evidence that the nutrient CoQ10 may help stop the nerve cell death that is typically seen in Parkinson's patients. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder resulting from the degeneration of nerve cells that create dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is needed to control muscle activity in the body. By the end of the 16-month study, some of the patients on CoQ10 had less decline in mental clarity, mobility and ability to perform everyday tasks than those patients who were taking a placebo.
