Time to Support® MicroActive® CoQ10 is for anyone trying to conceive who would benefit from more than the 200 mg of MicroActive® CoQ10 already in Time to Conceive® For Women and Time to Conceive® For Men.
Our medical team recommends it for women with a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). In a randomised controlled trial of women under 35 with reduced ovarian reserve, taking CoQ10 for 60 days before IVF improved ovarian response and embryo quality. A 2023 study also found a lower ratio of CoQ10 to total cholesterol in women with POI than in women with normal ovarian function.
It may also be relevant for:
- Those who have experienced miscarriage. Early laboratory and clinical studies suggest CoQ10 may help reduce inflammation and markers of blood clotting, which are involved in some miscarriages. If you become pregnant, speak to your doctor before continuing.
- Men with low sperm motility. CoQ10 supports energy production in sperm cells, and in a clinical trial, men who started with lower motility were the most likely to respond.
Women can take 1 to 2 capsules a day alongside Time to Conceive® For Women. Men should take 1 capsule a day alongside Time to Conceive® For Men.
If you're unsure whether you need extra, speak to your fertility doctor.
