Coenzyme Q10 in sleep apnea study
We explored the impact of various treatments, including coenzyme Q10, on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a patient with adult-onset Leigh disease. This condition often presents with severe neurological symptoms, complicating the patients’ overall health and quality of life.
An overnight sleep study revealed the presence of OSA, which had developed shortly before the neurological symptoms became apparent. Treatment included high doses of thiamine, coenzyme Q, L-carnitine, and vitamins C and E, along with effective management of OSA through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Following this combined approach, we observed a marked clinical improvement not only in the patient's sleep quality but also in their neurological outcomes. While coenzyme Q10 was part of this combination therapy, its specific contribution to alleviating sleep apnea symptoms cannot be isolated from the other treatments. Overall, the findings suggest that recognizing and treating sleep apnea promptly can enhance patients’ well-being and potentially improve neurological conditions associated with Leigh disease.

Improved sleep quality

Useful, I have AIT. Thanks to iHerb and the reviews, I decided to order Q10 100mg. In the first week, I felt a bit strange, with a buzzing in my head. However, I then felt rejuvenated; my sleep returned to normal, and I wake joyfully in the morning (anyone with AIT will understand). I have ample energy now, no longer feel drowsy during the day, and, crucially, my blood pressure normalised. On the advice of Omega, I also take MK 7 and D. I genuinely appreciate the improvements in my quality of life.

Appointed by the doctor, this worked wonderfully for my 80-year-old mother. It improved her memory, sleep, and mood significantly!

Reduced palpitations
I trust this brand. The formula of this Q10 is very safe, which is a significant reason for my choice. I recommend that individuals over 40 start supplementing with coenzyme Q10, as mitochondrial energy demands increase with age. I have Hashimoto’s and occasionally experience heart palpitations at night; however, it’s remarkable that as long as I take Q10, the palpitations vanish! For a healthy person, one capsule is usually sufficient; if heart function is subpar, two capsules can be taken.

Enhanced sleep quality

Since using Kaneka Q10, I believed the quality would be high, and I purchased it. I feel that my sleep quality has noticeably improved. Though it's a soft capsule, it is rather large and somewhat challenging to swallow.
