Medicinal Benefits
Coenzyme Q10+dehydroepiandrosterone+melatonin contains Coenzyme Q10, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. It is used primarily to treat female infertility. Coenzyme Q10+dehydroepiandrosterone+melatonin is a very potent promoter of oestrogen production. Hence, it finds wide use in treating female infertility. DHEA is a naturally occurring sex hormone in the human body, produced mainly by the adrenal glands and liver, besides ovaries and brain cells. It helps in the synthesis and maintenance of sex hormones in the body, by acting as a precursor of sex hormones. It acts directly on plasma membrane receptors and promotes the conversion of sex hormones to their most potent counterparts. DHEA enhances the production of healthy egg cells in the female body and improves the chance of pregnancy by a great margin. It also greatly reduces the chances of miscarriage by genetically preventing conditions that may lead to loss of pregnancy. Coenzyme Q10 is a very useful antioxidant and aids the conversion of food into energy. It also protects cells from the damage that can be caused by oxygen radicals. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant and it specifically protects healthy follicles from oxidative damage, thereby improving the chances for a healthy pregnancy. Coenzyme Q10+dehydroepiandrosterone+melatonin is thus also a potent energy booster that provides stamina to the body and also improves overall immunity.
