Hi Mer, Sorry to hear about your recent miscarriage.

Supplements really can change your life!Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone-related condition in which the ovaries become enlarged and covered in multiple, tiny cysts containing under-developed eggs. By the age of 40, the amount of coenzyme Q10 present in your tissues, including the ovaries or testes, is up to 32% lower than when you were in your 20s. Researchers have found a direct correlation between sperm count and the amount of In one study, 228 men, with infertility of at least 2 years duration, were divided into two equal groups who took either 200 mg After the coenzyme Q10 supplements were stopped, the men were followed for another 12 weeks, during which their sperm quality started to decline again.Other micronutrients are also important for sperm health.

A study in 50 people taking statin medications found that a dose of 100 mg of CoQ10 per day for 30 days effectively reduced statin-related muscle pain in 75% of patients (However, other studies have shown no effect, emphasizing the need for more research on this topic (For people taking statin medications, the typical dosage recommendation for CoQ10 is 30–200 mg per day (Those with heart conditions, such as heart failure and angina, may benefit from taking a CoQ10 supplement.A review of 13 studies in people with heart failure found that 100 mg of CoQ10 per day for 12 weeks improved blood flow from the heart (Plus, supplementing has been shown to reduce the number of hospital visits and the risk of dying from heart-related issues in individuals with heart failure (CoQ10 is also effective in reducing the pain associated with angina, which is chest pain caused by your heart muscle not getting enough oxygen (What’s more, the supplement may reduce heart disease risk factors, such as by For people with heart failure or angina, the typical dosage recommendation for CoQ10 is 60–300 mg per day (When used alone or in combination with other nutrients, such as It has also been found to ease headaches by reducing oxidative stress and free radical production, which may otherwise trigger migraines.

He has published more than 100 original manuscripts and book chapters on reproductive medicine and has co-authored over 300 scientific abstracts on infertility, in vitro fertilization, egg freezing, ovum donation, and reproductive genetics. Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to enhance both female and male fertility.

In sperm cells, the majority of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) an energy promoting agent and antioxidant, is concentrated in the mitochondria of the midpiece, so that the energy for movement and all other energy-dependent processes in the sperm cell also depend on the availability of CoQ10. In 2013, The CoQ10 is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement.

The exact cause is unknown, but it is associated with insulin resistance which can be associated with mitochondrial abnormalities. This oxidative stress is made worse by a lack of antioxidants, such as coenzyme Q10  which are needed to quench them.All these effects build up over time and, as well as reducing fertility, are also associated with genetic abnormalities within eggs and sperm and an increased risk of developmental defects in the offspring of older men and women.Cells which work the hardest – heart, skeletal muscle, liver, egg and sperm cells – contain the most mitochondria and therefore need the most coenzyme Q10.As well as making coenzyme Q10 within your cells, you obtain small amounts from cell-based foods such as offal, Average daily dietary intakes of coenzyme Q10 are estimated at up to 5mg for meat eaters and 1mg daily for people who follow a In your mid-20s, cell levels of coenzyme Q10 start to decline as a result of lower production within the mitochondria and reduced absorption from your diet.
