Creating a family can be a difficult journey, so it’s best to supplement your diet with certain vitamins to not only ease the process, but also keep your body in its best shape.
What are some vitamins and supplements to help in the fertility process?
- Folic Acid is not only highly recommended during pregnancy to lower the risk of congenital heart defects and neural tube defects, but has been beneficial in fertility as it increases progesterone levels and regulates ovulation.
- Iron helps aid with a significantly lower risk of ovulatory infertility (the inability to produce eggs).
- Zinc is beneficial in keeping hormone levels in check – improving egg quality and shortening time to conceive.
- Omega-3 fatty acids help to regulate hormones, increase blood flow to the uterus, and help implantation of the embryo in the uterus.
- Prenatal vitamins, in general, will include the best nutrients to help prepare your body to conceive or undergo fertility treatments—including folic acid, Iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and calcium.
- Progesterone increases monthly to thicken the lining of the uterus to prepare for the implantation of the embryo and the maintenance of pregnancy.
