Enzyme Q10 is an enzyme in the electron transport chain. It is taken as a supplement by people who can't produce enough of it themselves.

 

People with mitochondrial disorders are often prescribed various vitamins and other supplements, but whether these work very well or not is questionable. Other approaches are genetic approaches.

several nutrients have been studied for their ability to decrease damage to the mitochondria. In the current literature regarding mitochondrial damage and HIV therapies, some mention has been made about riboflavin (B2), coenzyme Q10, and acetyl-carnitine. Most of these are being studied in isolation and not in conjunction with one another. Although the approach is to determine whether or not each particular nutrient is beneficial in the treatment of mitochondrial damage, the flaw in this approach stems from the fact that each of the 5 complexes in the oxidative phosphorylation process requires different and varying nutrients simultaneously. Other nutrients that support mitochondrial function are alpha lipoic acid, NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine), glutathione, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids to name a few.
