CoQ10

CoQ10 is a nutrient that powers mitochondria, the energy factories inside cells. Because eggs rely heavily on mitochondrial energy, CoQ10 is especially important for egg quality.

Does it really work?

Yes. Research shows CoQ10 supplementation can improve egg quality and ovarian response, particularly in women over 35 or those undergoing IVF. It’s often used to support healthy mitochondrial function during the preconception phase.

Can I get enough in real food?

A little. It’s found in organ meats, fatty fish, and whole grains, but food sources don’t provide enough to significantly raise egg cell levels.

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

If you’re over 35 or preparing for IVF, yes — CoQ10 is one of the best supplements for supporting egg quality. Younger women may not need it, but it can still provide a fertility advantage.
