CoQ10<\/strong>‘s benefits as both an energy producer and an antioxidant could make it a dual powerhouse in the fight against Alzheimer’s, one of the most common and most devastating of all age-related illnesses.<\/p>\n

More than 4 million people in the US have Alzheimer’s disease, a deadly and progressive brain disorder that impairs memory, cognitive function, and physical ability. Though symptoms differ, Alzheimer’s is characterized by a degree of dementia, which is defined as intellectual impairment significant enough to have an adverse impact on daily activities and social interactions. In fact, Alzheimer’s is the number one cause of dementia in people over 60.<\/p>\n

In the past 25 years, the number of people with Alzheimer’s has doubled and the incidence of the disease is expected to increase rapidly over the coming years as the baby boom generation ages.<\/p>\n

Though research is discovering more clues to the puzzle of Alzheimer’s, it remains frustratingly mysterious. No cause has been identified, and though there are some drugs that are thought to slow its progression, as yet there is no cure. More and more is being learned about the mechanism of the disease, however, and new discoveries are supporting the idea that CoQ10 could play a role in both prevention and treatment.<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have shown that low CoQ10<\/strong> levels are definitely associated with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Correcting this deficiency is believed to delay both the onset and the progression of the disease, and perhaps even contribute to repair of damaged brain cells.<\/p>\n
