Does CoQ10 help with night sweats during perimenopause?

Some women find that CoQ10 helps manage night sweats during perimenopause, though individual results vary. The connection between CoQ10 and night sweats involves how this supplement interacts with the hormonal and neurochemical pathways that become disrupted during perimenopause.

The evidence for using CoQ10 specifically for night sweats ranges from anecdotal reports to clinical studies. What matters most is whether it works for your body. Many supplements need 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use before you can fairly evaluate their effect on symptoms like night sweats.

If you want to try CoQ10 for night sweats: Start with a lower dose, choose a reputable brand with third-party testing, and track your night sweats severity daily so you have objective data. Continue your other management strategies (sleep, exercise, stress reduction) while testing CoQ10 so you can isolate its effect.

Always check with your healthcare provider before starting CoQ10, especially if you take other medications or have existing health conditions.
