Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like substance that exists in human cells and is crucial for energy production and maintaining physical health. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 may be beneficial for women preparing for and becoming pregnant.
Firstly, coenzyme Q10 can improve the quality and quantity of eggs. A study published in the journal Human Reproduction found that supplementing with coenzyme Q10 can increase the number and quality of eggs in young women, thereby improving their chances of conception. The study recruited 124 women aged between 21 and 35 and divided them into two groups: one group received 600 milligrams of coenzyme Q10 per day, and the other group received a placebo. The results showed that women who took coenzyme Q10 had a significant improvement in both the quantity and quality of eggs after three months, while women who took placebo did not show any significant changes. In addition, coenzyme Q10 can also improve ovarian function, promote follicular development and ovulation.
Secondly, coenzyme Q10 can alleviate pregnancy related reactions. Pregnancy response is a problem faced by many pregnant women, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. Some studies have shown that supplementing with coenzyme Q10 can alleviate these symptoms and improve the quality of life of pregnant women. For example, a study published in the International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that pregnant women who took coenzyme Q10 experienced significantly fewer symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy than those who did not take it.
Finally, coenzyme Q10 can also protect fetal health. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that supplementing with coenzyme Q10 can reduce the risk of premature birth and low birth weight, while improving the health of newborns. The study recruited a total of 287 pregnant women and divided them into two groups. One group took 100 milligrams of coenzyme Q10 per day, while the other group did not take it. The results showed that pregnant women taking coenzyme Q10 had a 32% and 26% lower risk of premature birth and low birth weight infants, respectively.
In summary, coenzyme Q10 has many benefits for women preparing for and becoming pregnant. However, it should be noted that everyone’s physical condition is different and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.”
