CoQ10 for boy?

[melon]

I have seen this supplement pop up few times here but I am really not sure about the benefits of using it...

Is anyone using it? DW or DH or both and what is the dosage? Is it required to consult a doctor before using it?

[TTC5]

I am taking it and so is DH

CoQ-10 will improve egg quality for you and improve DH's sperm motility.

If you are younger then 35, you probably don't need it, but I would give it to DH, won't hurt. Recommended daily dosage is 100 mg.

I think co q 10 is a great addition to your blue sway for both DW and DH altho I agree that if you're younger than 35 you prob. don't need it. You will also be getting ample co q 10 from fish and meat. 10-30 mg for DW, 30-50 for DH seems to be the amount that is commonly taken over the long term but some people have taken a bit more than that for a short-term sway.

The benefits are that it seems to make higher quality egg and sperm plus it helps with building and maintaining muscle mass which will help raise testosterone. It also may make it safer for your overall health, to ingest more cholesterol, which you will be doing on the Blue diets. It prevents cholesterol from doing damage to your vascular system (they say.)

My DH is taking 300mg of this -- you say only 30-50mg? Am I over-dosing him?? That is the amount of the pill I got...

My GP suggested I take it (was 31 at the time) and took it all through ttc last time and got my DS2.

AS- Thank you. The lowest I saw so far was 100mg...I will keep looking for lower dosage...

Flava - Thanks for the list.... I have read in the posts that potassium is better to consume through foods than via supplements.. how much dosage are you taking? I was worried about going over the amount through food as I am not really tracking the amounts....

About prenatals - I am still not sure... I took them 6months before TTC for my DD...though my diet was perfect girlie....

Is Zinc for DH only?

What is DHEA and BY? - sorry for too many questions....

I feel like my list is soooo small compared to yours....If i take prenatal, it might pick up some of the list like B12, Vit E ...this is what I am taking so far

Fish Oil
Folic Acid
Vit D

DH
He is taking fish oil and a multi-vitamin that has Vit D, folic acid, B12, Vit E, some Zinc ( I need to get him more dosage to add).

I am taking it and so is DH

Us also, good for egg and sperm, like ZB said. Good for your heart also!
