Ingredient Spotlight: CoQ10
WHAT IS IT?
CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in every cell of the body. It plays a critical role in energy production, specifically inside the mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses that fuel your cells. Your body produces CoQ10 naturally, but levels begin to decline from your late 20s onwards.
WHY IT MATTERS FOR FEMALE FERTILITY
- Egg quality: Egg cells require enormous amounts of energy to mature properly. CoQ10 fuels this process and supports healthier, higher-quality eggs.
- Antioxidant protection: Reduces oxidative stress on eggs - a key factor in age-related decline in egg quality and reproductive health.
- Ovarian reserve: Research suggests CoQ10 may help support ovarian reserve, which naturally diminishes with age.
- Age-related decline: Especially relevant for women over 30, when both CoQ10 levels and egg quality naturally begin to decrease.
WHY WE INCLUDED IT IN FEMALE FERTILITY
We chose CoQ10 because egg health is one of the most important, and most overlooked, factors in fertility. Most women aren't getting enough through diet alone, and supplementing at a meaningful dose gives your body the cellular energy it needs to support healthy eggs at every stage of your cycle.
