CoQ10: Does it really work?

A researcher at McGill University in Canada seems to be on a mission to denigrate CoQ10 and its usefulness as a dietary supplement. You see, he’s “found” that it doesn’t seem to act as strongly as an antioxidant as was first thought. But he’s missing the point about CoQ10’s importance.
