Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

In the study of "Coenzyme Q(10), vitamin E, selenium, and methionine in the treatment of chronic recurrent viral mucocutaneous infections" by De Luca C, Kharaeva Z, Raskovic D, Pastore P, Luci A, Korkina L., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that the nutriceutical induced significantly faster healing (P < 0.01-0.05) with reduced incidence of relapses (P < 0.05) as compared to control groups, which was confirmed by decreased viral load and increased antiviral cytokine and peroxynitrite plasma levels. Plasma antioxidant capacity was higher (P < 0.01) in the experimental versus control groups.
