Coenzyme Q10 pre-treatment of women scheduled for IVF infertility treatment can improve the clinical pregnancy rate and can reduce the miscarriage rate. This is the evidence from a review of six randomized controlled trials enrolling altogether 1529 study participants.
A review of clinical studies shows that CoQ10 supplementation helps male patients with infertility issues in several ways: improves sperm parameters, reduces testicular oxidative stress, and increases pregnancy rates, both naturally and with assisted reproductive technology.
Infertility affects 15% of couples (50 million couples) worldwide. Female reproductive potential declines with increasing age – from middle 30s to early 40s. The decline is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Coenzyme Q10 can alleviate these problems.
Studies show beneficial health effects of Coenzyme Q10 supplements for heart failure patients, healthy senior citizens, and patients with low-energy syndrome and fatigue disorders, fertility disorders, and migraine headaches. Choose a supplement with documented good absorption.
