Coenzyme Q10 alleviates nausea[Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (focal cytochrome c oxidase deficiency) with transient episodes of muscle weakness and elevation of serum creatine kinase activity].
We explored the effects of coenzyme Q10 treatment in a 17-year-old boy with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, characterized by episodes of muscle weakness and related symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. This patient experienced three episodes over several years, during which his serum creatine kinase levels spiked.
During the intervals between these episodes, the boy showed no muscle weakness and maintained normal levels of creatine kinase. However, increased levels of lactic acid and pyruvic acid were found in his blood following exercise, resulting in acidosis. This situation was further examined through an EEG, muscle biopsy, and mitochondrial enzyme activity analysis which revealed a specific deficiency in cytochrome c oxidase.
After administering a large quantity of coenzyme Q10, we observed a significant improvement. The patient no longer experienced episodes of muscle weakness or nausea, and the atypical increases in lactic acid and pyruvic acid after exercise tests vanished. This suggests that coenzyme Q10 may effectively alleviate certain symptoms tied to mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly nausea.

Most Useful Review
I am very pleased with the fast delivery and high-quality, convenient packaging. Everything arrived undamaged and the dosage is excellent, with a natural herbal composition. The capsules are a bit large, but I find them easy to swallow, and they have a pleasant citrus taste. I take 1 capsule daily with meals, alongside vitamin D3+K2, magnesium, and vitamin B6. After 10 days of use, I've noticed significant benefits; my headaches have ceased, my energy has increased, and my mood is consistently good. I highly recommend this supplement for anyone engaged in sports or following a diet, as omega-3 revitalises and replenishes essential nutrients.
