Q: I’ve heard about using Coenzyme Q10 for Parkinson’s disease. Is there any research on it? Does it help prevent disability?

A: Parkinson’s disease can be a challenging problem because so far, in western medicine, we have not found a treatment that prevents progression – only medications that treat the symptoms. Thus, the study I mention below is exciting because, even if it is preliminary, it is interesting to consider that there may be something we can do to prevent the progression of Parkinson’s, rather than just treating it symptomatically.
