Exploring Why Number of Doses Per Day Matters

If you're taking supplements or medication, it's typically for a specific reason—to improve well-being, treat an infection, or enhance specific health aspects like egg quality. Ensuring you reap the benefits is crucial, especially if you're investing money and effort into these treatments.

Unfortunately, how frequently you have to take a medication or supplement greatly affects whether or not you will actually reap the benefits from it. Research in the medical field sheds light on this. For instance, among those taking antibiotics for lung infections, studies indicate that 94% remembered to take once-daily medication, while only 20% remembered the thrice-daily dosage (Llor et al., 2009). Similarly, another study on antibiotic adherence for respiratory issues found that 94% remembered once-daily meds compared to 81% for twice-daily (Kardas, 2007). In cases of diabetes, research by Paes et al. (1997) highlighted that compliance with medication is significantly affected by dosing frequency. Compliance rates averaged 79% for once-daily doses but dropped to 38% for three times daily.

In the realm of using CoQ10 for fertility, most clinical studies advocate a daily dosage of 600mg to effectively increase serum levels of ubiquinol. However, considering the commonly found CoQ10 formulations in stores like Target or Costco, this would necessitate taking two tablets three times daily. Drawing from the earlier medical research, there's a substantial likelihood—around 60-80%—of forgetting these doses, resulting in the inability to attain the serum levels necessary for beneficial outcomes in fertility treatment. In light of this, why invest money in a supplement if maintaining the recommended dosage seems improbable?

That's the reason behind our collaboration with VESIsorb for Nest Egg CoQ10. With just one tablet, Nest Egg CoQ10 elevates serum CoQ10 levels by 622% compared to other CoQ10 formulations. No more juggling multiple tablets throughout the day or concerns about insufficient serum levels. It's all you require in one compact, hassle-free softgel.
