MitoQ and exercise: a new hope for Long-COVID recovery in older veterans?
NCT ID NCT05373043
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a dietary supplement called MitoQ, combined with exercise rehabilitation, can improve blood vessel function in older adults (50+) suffering from long-COVID. The trial will enroll 300 participants, including both long-COVID patients and those who have recovered from COVID-19. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the long-term health consequences of the infection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mitoquinone (MitoQ) dietary supplement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical, low-cost combination of a supplement and exercise to help older adults recover from long-COVID.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on blood vessel function, not on curing long-COVID. The supplement may not provide meaningful symptom relief, and results may not apply to younger or healthier people.
