Idebenone

Idebenone (IDB) is a synthetic analog of coenzyme Q10, an important member of the electron transport chain within mitochondria that creates ATP for metabolic energy. Idebenone is a cerebral stimulant that increases brain energy levels.

  • IDB enhances serotonin production, even under conditions of a low tryptophan diet and in patients with cerebrovascular dementia.
  • IDB is a powerful antioxidant that is 30 to 100 times more effective than vitamin E as a free radical quencher within the brain cells.

Dosage range: 45-180 mg/ idebenone per day.
