Coenzyme Q10 May Benefit Patients with Fibromyalgia

By Derrick DeSilva Jr., M.D., Community Insider -- Published: May 04, 2011

In a study involving 5 patients with fibromyalgia, supplementation with coenzyme Q10 (300 mg/d) for a period of 9 months was found to be associated with a significant reduction in symptoms in patients who showed coenzyme Q10 deficiency prior to supplementation. The authors state, "Further analysis involving more scientifically rigorous methodology will be required to confirm this observation."
