Q10 reduces heat stress-induced anxietyCoenzyme Q10 and vitamin E alleviate heat stress-induced mood disturbances in male mice: Modulation of inflammatory pathways and the HPA axis.
Combination of treatments evaluated
We explored the effects of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) on anxiety symptoms caused by heat stress in male mice. The study involved several groups of mice, exposing them to high temperatures while treating them with either Q10, vitamin E, or a combination of both for two weeks. We assessed their mood through various tests that measure anxiety and despair behavior, including the forced swimming test and the elevated plus maze.
Our findings indicated that both Q10 and vitamin E had significant anxiolytic traits on the mice affected by heat stress. This means that these treatments effectively reduced anxiety levels. Not only did they show positive changes in behavior during the anxiety tests, but we also observed a notable decrease in stress hormone levels. Additionally, the treatments seemed to lower inflammatory markers in the brain, suggesting a possible pathway for their effectiveness.
In summary, incorporating Q10 into treatment strategies could offer an innovative way to address anxiety, especially in situations involving environmental stressors like extreme heat. We advocate further investigation into how these findings might translate into human applications, particularly for managing stress-induced anxiety.

Q10 and ultrasound improve anxietyLow-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhances delivery of 30 nm Q10 for improving mental and memory disorder in APP/PS1 mice.
Study indicates promising results
We explored the potential of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) in alleviating anxiety and depression in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. The study involved APPswe/PS1dE9 mice that received either Q10 or a combination of Q10 and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). The latter approach aimed to enhance the delivery of Q10 through the blood-brain barrier, which is crucial since many treatments struggle to reach the brain effectively.
Our findings indicated that combining Q10 with LIPUS significantly improved anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors in these mice compared to Q10 alone. With the optimal intensity of LIPUS, the treatment led to increased levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, while also reducing harmful substances like formaldehyde and protein plaques associated with Alzheimer’s.
However, we must note that despite these encouraging results, the effectiveness of the LIPUS treatment, particularly at varying intensities, only partially addressed anxiety and memory issues. Thus, while this combination therapy holds promise, it is clear that more research is necessary to understand how Q10 alone impacts anxiety effectively, especially without the influence of LIPUS.

User Reviews
Energy charge! I bought this dietary supplement to enhance my performance, especially after covid. On the third week, I felt more energetic, waking up easily with one alarm. My productivity improved, and I felt less fatigued. My anxiety diminished and my mood stabilised. My light tachycardia is gone, and my recovery from gym sessions has improved. Q10 is essential for everyone, as its production decreases with age—suggesting it should be supplemented. I hope this review helps!

Easy to take with water, this has no taste. I now wake up easily, and my efficiency has improved. I was able to eliminate my anxiety.
Good stuff! I continue to enjoy good health, with no more anxiety attacks or arrhythmia. I appreciate the veggie caps.
My mum and I have experienced excellent results. She has a weak heart, and I struggle with anxiety and palpitations. This CoQ10 variant calms me and strengthens my mum’s heart, as confirmed by our specialist. The Bioperine enhances absorption.
Excellent! I no longer have irregular heartbeats, and I sleep better, waking up with more energy. It has also reduced my nervousness and anxiety, aiding my immune system overall.
