People afflicted with Muscular Dystrophy are usually found to be deficient in Coenzyme Q10 and supplemental Coenzyme Q10 (often) alleviates Muscular Dystrophy [Muscular Dystrophy patients administered 100 mg of CoQ10 per day for 3 months demonstrated significant improvement in cardiac output, stroke volume, physical wellbeing and definite improvement in exercise tolerance, leg pain, leg function and fatigue].

(Coenzyme Q10 helps to prevent the Neuron damage that leads to Alzheimer's Disease [deficiencies in CoQ10-dependent enzymes may be implicated in the development of the neuronal death that results in Alzheimer's. Reversal of mental function deterioration has been documented in several studies utilizing supplemental CoQ10, including documented improvements in mental function in people with genetically-confirmed Alzheimer's Disease].

Coenzyme Q10 helps to prevent the neuron damage that leads to Parkinson's.
