Chronic MitoQ supplementation (20 mg/day for 6 weeks) reduces plasma oxidized LDL levels, a marker of oxidative stress, in healthy older adults.
Taking 20mg of MitoQ daily for 6 weeks can help reduce oxidized LDL, a marker of oxidative stress, in older adults. This suggests the supplement is effectively reducing oxidative damage in the body.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Plasma oxidized LDL (low-density lipoprotein), a marker of oxidative stress, also was lower after MitoQ versus placebo (P<0.05).
Why this rating
Randomized controlled trial data showing a significant change in a biomarker.
