The vitality of reproductive cells — sperm and ova — is essential to conception and the onset of a healthy pregnancy. But this vital aspect of human health faces a modern, pervasive challenge: cellular damage caused by high oxidative stress, which can affect the health of reproductive cells and contribute to preconception health challenges.
In men (1): - Diminished sperm motility
- Changes in sperm morphology
- Lower DNA integrity
In women (2,3,4): - Fewer oocytes in the ovarian reserve
- Lower quality oocytes
- Free radical damage to follicles and other reproductive tissues
Kaneka Ubiquinol supports reproductive wellness in men and women via its unique antioxidant properties.
Download the white paper to delve into the science behind Ubiquinol’s antioxidant capabilities and explore how it counteracts oxidative stress and supports the health of reproductive cells.
