CoQ10 ADVICE PLEASE !!

TeenyTiny profile image
19 Replies

Hi ladies. So I’ve researched that CoQ10 can help with egg quality, something i struggle with!! So I popped into my chemist this morning to purchase some. However I thought the mgs sounded pretty low that they sold. It was 30mg. So I didn’t buy. Can anyone that has maybe used it to help with egg quality let me know what dose you took or what might be advised!?

Any advice on this would be gratefully appreciated 👍

Hey! Ubiquinol is cq10 but in an active form and I swore by it - I took 300mg per day and it takes 3 months to show some results apparently.

I found reasonably-ish priced brands on amazon.

I think it is good supplement and no harm to take anyway for general well being :)

Brilliant advice. Thank you 😊

To add to this, make sure it’s the kind in Gel form, (squidgy capsules) as they are easier to absorb than the solid tablets.

I have found one brand in Holland and Barrett, so expensive but I am thinking about getting some. Which brand do you use? x

I am away for a few days - but will check the brand I had - although I didn't have a special recommendation for it originally......

Ubiquinol from Amazon. Pretty pricey in comparison but hey, if it works! I get my husband to take it too as it’s also supposed to help with sperm quality

Hi Teeny, I took 100mg gel capsules from Holland and Barrett (Fitness Pharma brand) - at the time I took them, they were £9.99 for a pack of 30, but they were in the 3 for 2 sale. Apparently gel capsules are better than the tablets. They are normally recommended for elderly people as they help with healthy cell regeneration, which is obviously why they are also recommended for egg cell development. As EB2001 says they are good to take anyway for general well-being xx

Brilliant thanks a mill 👍

I get the ubiquinol off amazon 200mg for £20 30 tablets so only lasts 15 days but if it helps I’ll do it for a few months I was taking coq10 30mg which was cheap but I think was a too low of a dose.

I used Nature’s Best and they were about £30 and lasted approx one month. As others have said, my consultant recommended 300mg daily. Good luck xxx

My consultant recommended 100mg CoQ10 and 5mg melatonin and I got 23 eggs this time!!! I’ve now got 9 frozen embryos compared to only 8 eggs last time and no frozen embryos, so it must have had am effect! I just bought cheap Q10 from Tesco and melatonin from Amazon :) good luck!! Xxx
