Supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 during exercise may help to reduce the muscle damage associated with intense exercise, according to a new study. Co Q10 was shown to reduce oxidative stress and modulate markers of inflammation.

Coenzyme Q10 is a lipid soluble, vitamin-like substance and is found primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. The nutrient also plays a vital role in health maintenance. It promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and periodontal health, helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and, vitamin E levels in cell membranes, energizing the immune system and helping to maintain proper weight.
