CoQ10 improves migraine symptomsOral coenzyme Q10 supplementation in patients with migraine: Effects on clinical features and inflammatory markers.
We conducted a study to see how coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation impacts migraine symptoms and inflammation. This randomized double-blind trial involved 45 non-menopausal women with episodic migraines.
Participants took either 400 mg/day of CoQ10 or a placebo for three months, while continuing their usual migraine medications. We observed a significant reduction in migraine frequency, severity, and duration in the CoQ10 group.
Additionally, CoQ10 levels and inflammatory markers showed some changes, specifically a reduction in certain proteins linked to inflammation. However, not all markers responded positively, indicating some limited effectiveness.

The best thing to prevent migraines! Garden of Life CoQ10 has transformed my life. I used to suffer from regular migraines that affected my quality of life. I had a prescription for sumatriptan (Imitrex) but wanted to avoid frequent use. My doctor suggested beta blockers or tricyclic antidepressants, but I refused and changed my doctor. As a healthy young woman, I didn't want to rely on serious medications. Since taking this supplement, I've noticed a 70% reduction in migraine frequency. When I do get them, usually around my period, they feel more like headaches and resolve quickly. I manage my triggers like chocolate and stress. I'm delighted to have discovered this brand of CoQ10, which also includes a vegetarian source of omega 3-6-9.
