CoQ10 and Female Infertility

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that can help with female infertility.  CoQ10 levels are highest in the first 20 years of life and then decline. CoQ10 supplements improved egg and embryo quality in women under 35 with low ovarian reserve.  CoQ10 supplements can help balance out oocyte deficits that lead to infertility. CoQ10’s antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress, which can negatively affect egg quality. CoQ10 may help preserve the integrity of eggs and improve their viability. pretreatment with CoQ10 increased ovarian response to stimulation and improved egg and embryo quality in study participants, under age 35, with low ovarian reserve (i.e., the quantity and quality of eggs).women treated with assisted reproduction technologies (ART) indicated that those who took CoQ10 supplements realized an increase in pregnancy rates compared with those who took a placebo or received no supplementation.
