Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance used in the treatment of a variety of disorders primarily related to suboptimal cellular energy metabolism and oxidative injury. Studies supporting the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 appear most promising for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and certain encephalomyopathies for which coenzyme Q10 has gained orphan drug status.

Results in other areas of research, induding treatment of congestive heart failure and diabetes, appear to be contradictory or need further clarification before proceeding with recommendations. Coenzyme Q10 appears to be a safe supplement with minimal side effects and low drug interaction potential.  Of the thousands of scientific studies on the research and clinical study focused on the biochemistry and health benefits of CoQ10 published worldwide over the past thirty years, the majority have been conducted using Kaneka CoQ10™, the precursor of WIN CoQ10.  For a complete listing of clinical abstracts and articles about CoQ10, please visit PubMed (Serach: CoQ10).
