The Claim
Coenzyme Q10 supplementation at 100 mg/day for eight weeks has no statistically significant effect on serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in healthy older adults undergoing high-intensity interval training.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 100 mg of Coenzyme Q10 daily for eight weeks does not change the levels of ALT or AST liver enzymes in healthy older adults who do high-intensity interval training.
See the scientific wording
Coenzyme Q10 supplementation at 100 mg/day for eight weeks does not significantly alter liver enzyme levels (ALT or AST) in healthy older adults undergoing high-intensity interval training.
CoQ10 helps cells produce energy more efficiently and reduces damage from harmful byproducts, which improves how the body handles fats and sugar, but it does not change how the liver releases enzymes into the blood.
What the research says
1 studyTaking 100 mg of CoQ10 every day for eight weeks while doing intense exercise didn’t change liver enzyme levels in older adults — just like the claim says. Their livers stayed healthy and unchanged, even though other things like cholesterol and insulin got better.
