Scientists have found that Coenzyme Q10 shows great potential in improving infertility.
In modern society, the problem of infertility has been paid more and more attention. Infertility not only affects the relationship between husband and wife, but also may bring a heavy psychological burden to the family.
Learn about Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble compound that is widely found within human cells, especially mitochondria. It is an activator of cell respiration and cell metabolism, as well as an important antioxidant and non-specific immune enhancer.
The amount of coQ10 in the human body gradually decreases with age, making older women at higher risk of infertility.
How does Coenzyme Q10 improve infertility?
1. Protect egg quality
As a woman ages, the number and quality of eggs in her ovaries gradually decline.
Coenzyme Q10, as an antioxidant, can protect eggs from oxidative stress and improve egg quality. Studies have shown that continuous intake of coQ10 can improve the clinical pregnancy rate and reduce the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos.
2. Improve ovarian reserve function
Ovarian reserve function refers to the number and quality of follicles that remain in the ovaries, which determines a woman's fertility.
As we age, our ovarian reserve gradually declines.
Coenzyme Q10 can improve follicular liquid oxygenation metabolism and oocyte quality, especially for women over 35 years old, Coenzyme Q10 can significantly improve ovarian reserve function and embryo quality.
3. Regulate hormone levels
Infertility is often associated with abnormal hormone levels.
Coq10 helps to return the hormone production of the ovaries to normal, which is essential for maintaining the normal function of the female reproductive system, thus helping to improve infertility problems.
4. Boost immunity
Infertility problems are sometimes linked to an abnormal immune system.
As a non-specific immune enhancer, Coenzyme Q10 can improve the immunity of the human body and reduce the occurrence of immune system diseases such as infection, which is conducive to improving infertility.
It is important to note that although coQ10 has some potential in improving infertility, it is not suitable for all infertility patients.
Before using coenzyme Q10, it is recommended that patients undergo a comprehensive physical examination to understand their infertility causes and physical conditions, and at the same time use coenzyme Q10 reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
Patients also need to pay attention to maintaining good living habits in daily life, such as maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating food, maintaining sufficient sleep, avoiding staying up late for a long time, and actively exercising, which can help improve the effect of coenzyme Q10 to improve infertility.
