Efficacy and Safety of Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation in the Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) (2023) · Meta analysis · n=1021
Only one RCT reported adverse events, and they found that patients had no adverse effects or symptoms following supplementation.
Coenzyme Q10 for heart failure
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews (2021) · Meta analysis · n=1573
Coenzyme Q10 probably reduces the risk of all-cause mortality more than control (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.95; 1 study, 420 participants; number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome (NNTB) 13.3; moderate-quality evidence).
Antioxidants for female subfertility
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews (2017) · Meta analysis · n=6510
This suggests that among subfertile women with an expected clinical pregnancy rate of 22%, the rate among women using antioxidants would be between 27% and 33%.

Tremella polysaccharide: The molecular mechanisms of its drug action
Progress in molecular biology and translational science (2019) · Systematic review
In this chapter, 113 independent studies involving in biochemical, pharmacological, and clinical studies of TFPS during the past 46 years (1972-2018) on the base of PubMed, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wanfang database search are summarized.
Based on heart failure meta-analysis (n=1573) showing mortality reduction. Effectiveness conservative due to single primary study (n=420). Take with food to reduce GI upset. Ubiquinol forms may have better absorption.
Based on 2 RCTs showing improvements in memory and response times. One study used snow fungus in combination with other ingredients, limiting specificity to Tremella alone. Adverse event rates were similar across groups (35-41%).
AI-estimated from published studies. Interpret as directional guidance.
CoQ10 has a higher evidence score (8/10 vs 4/10) and wins in 2 of 3 categories.
Both CoQ10 and Tremella score equally (70) for healthy aging.
No known interactions between CoQ10 and Tremella have been documented in our database. However, always consult a healthcare provider before combining supplements.
