Is It True That CoQ10 May Improve IVF Outcomes?

A challenging patient scenario for reproductive endocrinologists involves women who are poor responders to ovarian stimulation for IVF fertility treatment. Many of these women receive high doses of injectable drugs in attempts to stimulate their ovaries to produce sufficient eggs for treatment.A recent meta analysis —a study combining multiple smaller studies—was performed on women who were poor responders in order to evaluate the effect of additional treatments on ovarian response.⁴ With more than 6,000 women included, this study provides robust clinical support that adding CoQ10 to IVF regimens can increase clinical pregnancy rates and reduce the amount of injectable drugs needed to stimulate ovaries, making it a promising tool for fertility preservation
