CoQ10 for Egg Quality: The Ultimate Guide to Dosage, Guidelines, and Shopping in the U.S.

Описание: CoQ10 is one of the most talked-about supplements in fertility—but does it actually improve egg quality, or is it just hype?

In this video, we break down the real science behind CoQ10, explain why major medical guidelines remain cautious, and give you a clear, practical guide to dosage, timing, and buying safe supplements in the U.S.

If you’re preparing for IVF or egg freezing, this evidence-informed overview will help you make confident, realistic decisions.

🔑 Key Takeaways

🔋 Eggs Run on Energy
Eggs rely on mitochondria—the cell’s “power plants”—to divide chromosomes correctly. As we age, mitochondrial energy declines, increasing the risk of chromosomal errors.

🧪 What CoQ10 Actually Does
CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production (ATP). Supplementation may help improve egg energy levels and support better chromosomal division.

📉 Why Guidelines Are Conservative
While studies show improved clinical pregnancy rates in some groups, organizations like ASRM and ESHRE do not officially recommend CoQ10 due to limited evidence showing higher live birth rates.

💊 Dosage Matters
Commonly used protocols:
• 600 mg ubiquinone daily, or
• 200–400 mg ubiquinol daily

🕒 The 90-Day Rule
Ideally start CoQ10 90 days before egg retrieval, but starting late is still better than not starting at all.

🛒 Smart Shopping Is Critical
Supplements are not regulated like drugs in the U.S. Look for USP Verified products to ensure purity and correct dosage.

🧠 Ubiquinone vs. Ubiquinol (Explained Simply)

Ubiquinone
• Used in most clinical studies
• Stable and affordable
• Effective when taken with food
• Typical dose: 600 mg/day

Ubiquinol
• More bioavailable form
• Often better for older patients
• More expensive
• Typical dose: 200–400 mg/day

👉 Scientific reality: the body converts between both forms. High-quality ubiquinone is sufficient for most patients.
