Is it true that the cronic use of the supplement coenzyme Q-10 can cause an increase in the speed at which one's cells age? If so will this impact one health or shorten one's life? |

I have heard otherwise. To my understanding of Q-10 and what its function is to begin with- it is an antioxidant. This means that it will theoretically decrease the rate of "aging" on a cellular level. Now, as for "chronic use" of Q-10: it has not yet been documented whether the supplement is has positive or negative affects when used in coordination with many treatments that realistically would accompany its use. The human clinical trials that have been performed have not measured on ANY level the possible negative cellular effects of the enzyme itself. To answer the other half of your question (although it has nothing to do with my response above, really): A drug which impedes a cells "lifetime" would not be directly negative in terms of "shortening ones life." A short cell life may affect things such as visible aging signs and capacity to heal and perform. So indirectly, it could decrease life capacity, but not life span. |
