I have been taking a high grade CoQ10 supplement. CoQ10 is the primary antioxidant the human cell provides to protect and support mitochondria. It helps generate ATP within the mitochondria, the main energy driver we have. CoQ10 is ubiquitous and produce within the body, however after the age of 20 levels start to drop, so it makes sense to consider supplements to top levels up if you're north of 30. I love the stuff myself. I went from a tired feeling 45 year old with brain fog, to having a lot more energy and a mind keen to engage all day with whatever I have going on at work https://examine.com/supplements/coenzyme-q10/#effect-matrix https://examine.com/supplements/coenzyme-q10/#effect-matrix

You should watch this excellent video by Dr Stanfield (actually, entire channel is excellent) in which he goes into Cochrane Medical Reviews among other research channels to dig into the science around all this stuff. This video is his analysis of CoQ10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9UYRWLpXz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9UYRWLpXz8 Dr Stanfield recommends sulforaphane over C0Q10 and the science/medical evidence he presents is compelling; he has a few videos specifically on sulforaphane as well. I would highly recommend anyone that is doubtful of vitamins and suppliments, particularly relating to aging/longevity - really give this YouTube channel a thorough review. It's hard to discount Cochrane Reviewed[0] backed data. [0] https://www.cochranelibrary.com/ https://www.cochranelibrary.com/

    Those youtube comments are gold. "It really is hard to belive she's in her 80's! Amazing." "Do not listen to Rhonda... she's a shill for big broccoli!!"

For those interested in this substance, it is worth first noting that it is present in many common foods in notable quantities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coq10#Dietary_concentrations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coq10#Dietary_concentrations

How did you disambiguate these claimed CoQ10 effects from the results of taping your mouth shut at night? "Not only did it fix my apnoea [sic] and huge lack of energy during the day" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23432440 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23432440

  “apnoea” is the British spelling.
