Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine if supplementation with known mitochondrial antioxidants (alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and CoQ-10) will stabilize or improve vestibular function in older adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The subjects will be divided into two groups, half will be given daily supplementation with ALA and CoQ-10. The second group will only receive standard of care treatment, with no study drug intervention.
