A healthy, vibrant egg is key to a successful pregnancy. Did you know the environment surrounding the egg plays a huge role in whether it can successfully fertilize? Many women face fertilization challenges that may have their roots in subtle imbalances in egg quality. Here’s what the latest science says about how to optimize the internal health of the egg to effectively improve egg quality.
Understanding key threats: oxidative stress and egg aging
Egg quality is closely related to mitochondrial health. When there is an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS), an aging factor, in cells, “oxidative stress” occurs, which directly attacks and damages mitochondria. This robs the egg of energy and can even harm its DNA. Therefore, one of the core strategies for oocyte protection is to reduce ROS production and mitochondrial damage caused by oxidative stress in oocytes.
Scientific support: Building a defensive and balanced environment
Fortunately, our bodies can fight this process by boosting their antioxidant defenses. By consuming specific antioxidant nutrients such as Juvenex Reco18, which contains Reco18 compounds, natural herbal extracts such as clove, Sophora japonica buds, and Lycium barbarum, it can help to enhance the antioxidant levels of ovarian cells and improve egg quality. The relevant research results have been published In the well-known SCI journal Frontiers In Endocrinology (IF6.055).
Therefore, lowering oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial health are important ways to improve egg quality — and your odds of a healthy pregnancy.
