What do Olympic athletes and fertility warriors have in common?

CoQ10

CoQ10 has been a favorite supplement of marathon runners and Olympic athletes.  Over time, mitochondria become damaged and are less efficient energy producers. CoQ10 plays an important role in making energy throughout the body - in muscles, the brain, and developing eggs.  CoQ10 increases energy production in mitochondria.  This energy production is important for egg and embryo development.  CoQ10 is one of the best ways to improve egg quality. #itstartswiththeegg @rebeccafett @olympics

Mitochondria:

⬬function as batteries that produce more than 90% of the energy in your body's cells. 

⬬are really important in high-energy demanding organs such as your heart, liver, muscles and brain. (www.chop.com)

⬬are vital to our survival

⬬generate the majority of our adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. 

are involved in other tasks, such as signaling between cells and cell death. (www.medicalnewstoday.com)

"A human being is a whole world to a mitochondrion, just the way our planet is to us. But we're much more dependent on our mitochondria than the earth is on us. The earth could get along perfectly well without people, but if anything happened to our mitochondria, we'd die."
