Synergy
What is happening. NMN boosts NAD+ for mitochondrial enzymes; CoQ10 supports the electron transport chain. Comprehensive mitochondrial support for anti-aging.
Mechanism. NAD+ (from NMN) is the primary electron carrier from TCA cycle to Complex I. CoQ10 shuttles these electrons from Complex I/II to Complex III. Both decline with age; replacing both optimizes mitochondrial function.
Recommendation. Combine for mitochondrial anti-aging strategy. NMN fuels NAD+-dependent enzymes; CoQ10 maintains ETC efficiency.
