Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a biomolecule that exists naturally in the human body and is present in every cell. The cells need the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 for proper functioning and for creating energy.

CoQ10 study in female fertility has been focused on patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). In a 2017 study, it was found that IVF patients had greater pregnancy rates and higher-quality eggs when their levels of CoQ10, which is naturally found in follicles, were higher. In two further trials, it was discovered that taking CoQ10 before an IVF cycle significantly increased egg quantity and quality, which was linked with a greater number of fertilized eggs and a higher proportion of healthy embryos
