If you’re over 35, you’re probably aware that fertility may begin to decline. The good news is that CoQ10 has been shown to improve egg quality by helping cells produce more energy and protecting them from oxidative damage. These benefits are crucial for proper egg maturation and successful fertilization.
Studies have shown that women who supplement with CoQ10 before undergoing IVF tend to have higher implantation and pregnancy rates, along with a reduced risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
CoQ10 and IVF
For women considering in vitro fertilization (IVF), CoQ10 plays an even more vital role. Egg quality is a key factor in the success of IVF, and CoQ10 may be a game changer.
Research has demonstrated that taking CoQ10 before and during IVF can enhance egg quality, embryo development, and increase both implantation and pregnancy rates.

How to Include CoQ10 in Your Fertility Journey
You can get CoQ10 naturally through food sources such as:
- Fatty fish (like salmon, mackerel, and tuna): Rich in CoQ10
- Nuts and seeds (like walnuts and pistachios): Smaller amounts but still beneficial
- Vegetables (such as broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower): Contain small quantities of CoQ10
If you’re considering starting any supplement, it’s important to consult your doctor, as the ideal dosage can vary depending on your individual health profile and fertility goals.
