Question

Please share which compounds improve the mitochondrial function? Thank you

Answer 1

Coenzyme Q10

Explanation:

If you mean supplements, then coenzyme Q10, or Co-Q10 improves mitochondrial function, especially if you are taking a statin medication to reduce cholesterol. Co-Q10 is a component in the electron transport chain during aerobic cellular respiration. Organs that require a lot of energy, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, have the greatest amount of Co-Q10. Statin medications reduce mitochondrial Co-Q10, which sometimes manifests as muscle aches. Taking Co-Q10 often alleviates those side effects, or prevents them.
