I have seen something called “Coenzyme Q10” for sale in the grocery store supplement aisle, and have heard that it works like vitamin E in the body. Is this true?
What will be an ideal response?
"Coenzyme Q10" is a lipid-soluble substance made in the body and found in foods, but it is not considered to be a vitamin. However, like vitamin E, it is an important antioxidant and influences the immune system and there is much interest in whether "coenzyme Q10" can prevent or treat cancer. Animal studies are promising. Clinical trials in humans have demonstrated that "coenzyme Q10" helps protect the heart from damage due to the side effects of the cancer drug doxorubicin. (See http://www.cancer.gov/cancerinfo/pdq/cam/coenzymeQ10 for more information.)
