What is it?
What is it?
A naturally-fermented CoQ10 supplement delivering 400mg per day, supporting mitochondrial function and antioxidant protection for both egg quality and sperm health. One 200mg capsule taken twice daily.
60 capsules = 30 day supply.
Who is it for?
Who is it for?
Men focused on sperm health: 400mg per day is a meaningful, research-informed dose. Works best alongside Fundamental Man as part of a complete protocol.
CoQ10 200mg is a good option for women who want mitochondrial support at a lower daily dose. Women over 35 or preparing for IVF should consider our CoQ10 400mg, which delivers 800mg per day.
Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Free from allergenic ingredients.
How should I take it?
How should I take it?
Take one capsule twice daily, preferably with food, for example one capsule at breakfast and one at dinner. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so absorption is significantly better when taken with a meal that contains fat. Can be taken alongside Fundamental Woman, Fundamental Man, omega-3 and magnesium bisglycinate. No gaps, no doubling up.
Most people start at least three months before they want to conceive or before a planned egg collection or IVF cycle.
What's inside?
What's inside?
The natural fermentation process yields a pure form of ubiquinone in the all-trans isomer: the same structural form found in human tissue. Vegetable Capsule Shell (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), plant-based. Brown Rice Flour, to ensure correct capsule volume. Bamboo Silica, a natural plant-derived ingredient that ensures consistent filling during manufacturing.
How is it different?
How is it different?
Naturally-fermented ubiquinone: the form your body recognises, not a synthetic version. A meaningful dose: 400mg per day across two capsules, not the token amounts found in most multivitamins. Suitable for both women and men: one product, two applications. No unnecessary additives: four ingredients.
Made in the UK to GMP standards.
Allergen information
This product is free from all 14 major allergens as defined by UK food supplement labelling regulations — including gluten and soya.
Who is this for?
"After three failed IVF cycles, we made a number of changes in the run-up to our fourth, including adding CoQ10 at the doses used in the research. My husband's sperm DNA fragmentation improved, and the number of embryos reaching blastocyst stage was significantly higher. That cycle was our turning point."
-
Naturally fermented, the form your body recognises Our ubiquinone is naturally fermented, not synthesised from petrochemical precursors. This process yields the all-trans isomer which is the same found in human tissue.
-
A meaningful dose, not a token amount Most multivitamins include CoQ10, but at doses too low to reflect the research. For men, ours is a standalone 200mg capsule taken twice daily, because dose is everything.
-
No synthetic fillers, binders or additives Just ubiquinone, and a plant-based capsule shell, brown rice flour and bamboo silica, a natural plant-derived ingredient that helps ensure the right amount of CoQ10 reaches the capsule every time.
-
Made in the UK to Good Manufacturing Practice standards GMP ensures consistent quality, hygiene and traceability in every batch.
CoQ10 is one of the most researched supplements in reproductive nutrition
Explore the benefits for sperm health.
Sperm rely almost entirely on their mitochondria to generate the ATP that powers the tail movements needed to swim towards the egg. CoQ10 is the essential electron carrier in this process. Without adequate CoQ10 in the sperm midpiece, energy production becomes less efficient and motility suffers.
CoQ10 functions as an electron carrier within the inner mitochondrial membrane, facilitating the transfer of electrons between complexes I/II and complex III in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This is the primary mechanism by which sperm generate ATP for flagellar movement. The sperm midpiece contains a dense sheath of mitochondria arranged specifically to supply the flagellum with the energy required for forward propulsion.
Clinical studies have examined the relationship between seminal CoQ10 levels and sperm motility parameters, finding consistent associations in observational research. Randomised trials have investigated CoQ10 supplementation in the context of male reproductive health, with the relationship between CoQ10 and sperm parameters including concentration and motility being an active area of reproductive research.
CoQ10 plays a dual role: it drives energy production and acts as a potent antioxidant. Sperm cell membranes are unusually rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, making them highly vulnerable to oxidative damage. CoQ10 neutralises free radicals directly within the mitochondria and in the cell membrane, protecting the integrity of both the sperm's structure and its DNA.
CoQ10 exists in two interconvertible forms: ubiquinone (oxidised) and ubiquinol (reduced). In its reduced form, ubiquinol acts as a lipid-soluble antioxidant capable of scavenging free radicals within cell membranes and mitochondria. Sperm are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress because their membranes contain high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are susceptible to lipid peroxidation, and because mature sperm have limited capacity for DNA repair.
High levels of reactive oxygen species in seminal plasma are associated with increased sperm DNA fragmentation and reduced motility in observational studies. Seminal CoQ10 concentrations have been found to differ between fertile and infertile men in research studies, and the relationship between CoQ10 and oxidative stress markers in semen has been an active area of investigation. The body's natural CoQ10 production declines from the mid-thirties, which is relevant to its antioxidant role at the point when sperm health becomes a greater consideration.
Our CoQ10 is produced through natural fermentation rather than chemical synthesis from petrochemical precursors. The natural fermentation process yields pure ubiquinone in the all-trans isomer, the same structural form found in human tissue, and results in a cleaner product with fewer process-related impurities.
Ubiquinone can be produced via two main routes: chemical synthesis (often using tobacco-derived solanesol or petrochemical precursors) or microbial fermentation (typically using yeast or bacteria such as Rhizobium or Agrobacterium). Fermentation-derived ubiquinone produces the all-trans isomer, the form found naturally in human tissue, whereas chemical synthesis can yield cis/trans isomer mixtures with potentially lower biological activity. Fermentation also results in a higher-purity starting material, with fewer residual solvents and synthesis byproducts. Our ubiquinone is tested for identity and purity prior to encapsulation, ensuring what goes into the capsule matches what is on the label.
