Coenzyme Q10 for resilience in older adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a daily supplement of Coenzyme Q10 (a natural substance that helps cells produce energy) can improve physical strength and resilience in older adults who show early signs of frailty. It aims to help people stay independent and active as they age.
