About

Uses of Clomiphene+ubiquinone
Medicinal Benefits
Clomiphene+ubiquinone is a combination of two drugs, namely; Clomiphene (estrogen agonist) and Ubiquinone (nutritional supplements) used for fertility enhancement in women who are experiencing infertility due to problems with ovulation (production and release of an egg from the ovary). Clomiphene is a partial estrogen agonist which works by stimulating the hormones that are necessary for the ovulation process. Ubiquinone (coenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) ) is a naturally occurring quinone that is found in most aerobic organisms from bacteria to mammals. It is an antioxidant that protects the body from damage by chemicals (free radicals) that cause infertility. Collectively, Clomiphene+ubiquinone improves ovulation in women who cannot get pregnant because they are not ovulating and have a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (a hormonal disorder in females causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts).
