Has anyone tried the mitoQ supplement? It is suppose to target your Mitrochondria. MitoQ is an enhanced form of CoQ10 that has been made smaller and given a positive charge, so it’s able to cross the tough mitochondrial membrane. Once inside, MitoQ helps to balance CoQ10 levels and reduce free rad…

2018 study: However, presently, the efficacy of chronic MitoQ supplementation for improving vascular function in healthy MA/O adults is unknown. MA/O = middle-aged/older Ya pay yer monies, ya take yer chances! Also this: In studies on rats, MitoQ prevented heart failure from cocaine… So…ma…

It might work for me… I am close to the big 5 0.

[image] G650: Where was this stuff 20 years ago when I needed it! Didn’t know you raced with Simoni. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: On topic: MitoQ is more absorptive; CoQ10 is more potent. No idea what would happen if you took both.

[image] Captain_Doughnutman: In studies on rats, MitoQ prevented heart failure from cocaine… If only Pantani knew about it… :pirate_flag:

“Supplementation with CoQ10 ingested at the rate of 1mg per kg per day for 28 days significantly increased the level of plasma CoQ10 in endurance athletes but had no consistently significant effect on measured submaximal or maximal aerobic performance indices during graded cycling to exhaustion.” …

Thanks for the link. The paper is pretty old but the science may still hold firm. mitoQ looks like it is CoQ10 plus Triphenylphosphonium so that may make the difference. They also suggest to take it for 3 times longer than the study … but they would wouldn’t they.

Found something a little more recent: “We show that endurance exercise training increases multiple CAC types, an adaptation that is not altered by MitoQ supplementation. Additionally, MitoQ does not affect skeletal muscle or whole-body aerobic adaptations to exercise training. These results indicat…

Thanks. I am not sure why they did that study in young men, I guess it rules the fit, young athlete out. This almost 50 dude it might help. I will tell you in 3 months.

I guess they were trying to find out if there were any performance enhancing effect from MitoQ supplementation? From my cursory reading, it seems like it might benefit those with mitochondria deficiency(?) , but if you have healthy/normal levels of mitochondria already, it doesn’t help in your sport…
