  CoQ10

CoQ10, or Co-Enzyme Q10, (also known as Ubiquinone), is used in the Electron Transport Chain inside Mitochondria to complete the process of Oxidative Phosphorylation.

CoQ10 is used to transport electrons from Complexes I and Complex II to Complex III.

Treatment with CoQ10 has been shown to be beneficial to patients with MIDD: References 1, 2, 3.

There are several types of CoQ10 becoming available, each is approximately as effective as the others, with some being easier to swallow: References 1 .

Author: Andy Collinson. Although I don't have any medical qualifications, as a sufferer of Diabetes, Deafness and Tinnitus caused by the A3243G mtDNA defect, I do have a very keen interest in the subject.
