How effective is CoQ10 for egg quality?

It is a strong antioxidant, having the effect of protecting our reproductive cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.It is an important part of the chain of the electron transport system which is responsible for generating energy in the cells. With higher levels of CoQ10, this chain produces energy more quickly and efficiently. Cells can therefore function to their full potential, which has a positive impact on processes such as the production of sperm and oocyte (egg) development.

                             Coenzyme Q10, oftentimes referred to as CoQ10, is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body and in many food sources. Also known as ubiquinone, CoQ10 is an essential component of cells needed for energy production. It is produced by the body and aids in the growth and maintenance of cells.CoQ10 has shown a great deal of promise for those experiencing infertility, being linked to improving egg health, reducing oxidative stress, and providing overall fertility support.¹ Although better quality and larger human studies are needed, CoQ10 represents little risk, has few side effects, and will likely improve overall health parameters beyond fertility. Here are the most common questions I get about CoQ10 fertility benefits and function.
