8 reports from women who tried CoQ10
I started CoQ10 after dealing with sleep disruption and joint pain for months. By week 4 I noticed I slept better for the first time in months. At 8 weeks, I felt significantly better. Still taking it and plan to continue.
CoQ10 helped somewhat with my weight gain and low mood — energy improved, though the brain fog lingered. Worth trying but manage your expectations.
I gave CoQ10 a fair trial for my hot flashes and irritability. Some improvement in hot flashes reduced a bit but sleep didn't improve much persisted. It might work for others but was modest for me.
I tried CoQ10 for mood swings and rage episodes but the results were mixed. things started to shift slightly, but the initial improvement plateaued. It might work for others but was modest for me.
Tried CoQ10 on the recommendation of online menopause community. The first few weeks were slow to show results, but by week 10 I was sleeping through the night. Worth persevering through the first few weeks.
