Sherry, I believe it is supposed to be a powerful antioxidant......they allegedly kill "free radicals" that attack cells. Free radicals supposedly destroy certain cells and contribute to the aging process or degeneration of various systems of cells. There are a lot of antioxidants....Vit C, etc....I don't know how much of all this is true. COQ 10 is another antioxidant. As a matter of fact, I participated in an initial trial study of the benefits for COQ 10 at an NPF "Center of Excellence" hospital and research area and they are now doing more extensive studies.....who knows? Maybe check with your neurologist and health food stores and homeopathic drs......we never know what might work!!
