CoQ10: Can It Help Sperm and Egg Quality? Can It Help Fertility?

Double board-certified OBGYN and REI, Dr. Natalie Crawford, discusses the supplement CoQ10 and its potential benefits for fertility. CoQ10 is an important coenzyme involved in energy production within the cells. As we age, mitochondrial function can decline, contributing to cellular aging. CoQ10 has been studied for its ability to support mitochondrial health and function, which is important for both egg and sperm quality.

The book "It Starts with the Egg" by Rebecca Fett, a Biochemist goes in to detail about this. She wrote the book after she made some helpful discoveries using her research experience in biochemistry and genetics to help her own fertility situation after she was Dx with low ovarian reserve. I think this is a very good read for anyone looking to improve their fertility!

Love your content and very much appreciate your dedication to sharing good information about fertility. Do you mind constructive feedback? I want to let you know the sound quality is not good compared to other YouTubers I follow, and it makes it hard for me to listen. I hope someday this improves significantly. :-)

Love your videos! ❤️ Can you please talk about the importance of choline during pregnancy? What would be the best form and dosage to take?

[azmisazmazingworld]

Hi Dr. Natalie. Always appreciative for your videos! ❤
How long should you take the supplement for?
Also, I’ve just started to cut out sugar and all processed food from my diet.
Do I need to omit anything else from my diet ? Ie Dairy/ Wheat/ Gluten ??
Thank you so much!

[leongzai]

Hi Dr Natalie. Does the form of CoQ10 matter? If yes, which form of CoQ10 is recommended?
Thank you

What dosage do you recommend for woman fertility/ ivf?

[sarah_mccloskey]

My doctor recommended this to me as a supplement for unexplained infertility. Sadly I had to stop taking it. It gave me bad headaches, fatigue and muscle soreness. Anyone else experience anything similar when taking it? On the other hand I’ve read a lot of positive reviews.

[AmandaJ]

Do you have any videos on here or your podcast on mosaic embryos?

[JulesBulls]

Hi! I’m in the UK and the max dose I can find to buy is 200mg.
The labels all advise taking one per day.
Can I just take 2 or 3 per day? Current capsules are only 100mg 🤦 x

[mariaangelica]

Is it safe to take during pregnancy? I see mixed reviews

[AleshaEllis-tu]

Does the form matter? Ubiquinol vs ubquinine? Would also love to hear your thoughts on NAD supplements
