Synergy
What is happening. Both support mitochondrial function. CoQ10 is essential for the electron transport chain; ALA is a cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenases.
Mechanism. CoQ10 shuttles electrons in the ETC (Complex I→III). ALA is a cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase in the TCA cycle. Together they optimize mitochondrial energy production.
Recommendation. Combine for comprehensive mitochondrial support, especially for cardiovascular and neurological health.
