Coenzyme Q10, what is is good for?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supports mitochondrial health and is used to help improve egg and sperm quality and fertility. Mitochondria are important in egg and sperm development, cell division, ovulation, and fertilization. 1

• 1. Mitochondria and reproduction: CoQ10 supports mitochondria, which play important roles in egg and sperm formation and in reproductive processes such as cell division and fertilization. 2
• 2. Suggested fertility dose: A commonly suggested range is 100–400 mg daily; take it with a meal, ideally one containing fat. A fertility specialist in another discussion described recommending 200 mg three times daily for people trying to conceive, so dosing recommendations vary. 3 4
• 3. Energy and cellular function: CoQ10 participates in mitochondrial energy production, where it helps support the process that makes ATP, the cell’s chemical energy. 5
