Amantadine

A medication originally developed as an antiviral drug to treat influenza A, but it's now more commonly used to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced movement disorders. It works by increasing dopamine activity in the brain and may also have some NMDA receptor antagonist effects, which help reduce abnormal brain signaling. Common side effects include dizziness, insomnia, and nausea, and it should be used with caution in people with kidney problems.

CoQ10

This naturally occurring, vitamin-like compound is present in almost every cell and is crucial for generating energy within the mitochondria, while also acting as a potent antioxidant. Its highest concentrations are found in organs with high energy demands like the heart and liver, though the body's production tends to decrease with age. While obtainable in small amounts from dietary sources like meat and fish, it is often taken as a supplement to support cellular energy and potentially benefit conditions related to heart health or aging.
