Does CoQ10 Work for Mitochondrial Diseases?
CoQ10 seems to work for some mitochondrial diseases. Mitochondria are important structures found in almost all human cells. They are known as organelles (“little organs”). Mitochondria have several extremely important roles, including energy production and influence over cell growth and cell death. There are several known mitochondrial diseases. Some of these diseases are genetic, while others are not. These diseases are relatively rare, but they can have devastating effects, such as seizures, strokes, heart problems, and developmental problems.
