Coenzyme Q10
At last week’s Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) meeting, Dr. Robert Casper, a Canadian researcher, presented a very interesting research paper. Casper’s team gave half of a group of middle-aged mice co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and the other half a placebo. Next, they compared eggs retrieved from both groups of mice with eggs from young mice. The middle-aged mice that received CoQ10 had more eggs and better quality eggs than those that received a placebo. If it works in humans as it did in mice, it’s possible to slow down the effects of age on fertility.
