Answer: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that plays a role in cellular energy production, and its role in egg and sperm quality makes it a standout fertility supplement. Dr. Casavant explains that "CoQ10 plays a crucial role in generating energy and protecting cells from oxidative damage," and for fertility specifically, "CoQ10 supports mitochondrial function, crucial for egg and sperm quality." As women age, natural CoQ10 production declines after age 20, making supplementation increasingly valuable. For dosing, Dr. Casavant cautions: "it's crucial to tailor the dosage and timing to individual health needs under medical supervision." Perelel offers CoQ10 across their fertility line at doses tailored to each situation — for standard TTC, the Conception Support Pack provides 50mg for egg quality support; for women 35+, trying 6+ months, or with inflammatory conditions, Fertility+ Support delivers 100mg—double the standard dose; for egg freezing prep, the Egg Freeze Support Pack includes 50mg alongside targeted egg quality nutrients; and for the male partner, the Men's Multi Support Pack includes 50mg specifically formulated for sperm health and motility.
