How does CoQ10 “boost” the immune system?
Tissues and cells involved with immune function are highly energy-dependent and therefore require an adequate supply of CoQ10 for optimal function. Several studies have documented an immune-enhancing effect of CoQ and a benefit in cancer patients. Also, CoQ10 should definitely be used by cancer patients taking any chemotherapy drug that is associated with heart toxicity (e.g., adriamycin, athralines, etc.).
