Summary

"This trial aims to see if a form of ubiquinol can help older women have better reproductive outcomes with a lower dose compared to the current standard treatment using ubiquinone."

Who is the study for?
Women aged >37 and <43 undergoing their first IVF cycle, with a history of infertility but normal reproductive health markers. They must have a BMI between 17.5 and 38, non-smokers, no significant medical conditions or ovarian issues that would affect egg retrieval, and partners with suitable semen for IVF.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if ubiquinol at a lower dose improves reproductive outcomes in older women compared to the standard treatment with ubiquinone during IVF cycles.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed for this trial; however, common side effects from oral supplements like ubiquinone and ubiquinol may include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions.
