• HOW MUCH DO I TAKE AND HOW LONG SHOULD I USE IT?

  For Women

  As a dietary supplement, the recommended dose is 2 capsules per day, taken with meals. These can be taken together with one meal or separated throughout the day with different meals. A consistent usage period of at least 3 months is generally recommended before evaluating results, as nutritional changes take time to manifest. If you are considering using this supplement as part of a fertility plan, consulting with your healthcare provider about realistic timelines and any lifestyle factors that may support your reproductive health is advisable. If conception does not occur after 3 months of use, you may want to consult with a healthcare provider to assess whether partner factors or other health issues may be contributing.

• WHAT CAUSES FERTILITY CHALLENGES?

  For Women

  According to epidemiological data, as many as 10-15% of couples experience difficulty conceiving. In these cases, approximately one-third have male factor issues, one-third have female factor issues, and one-third have combined or unexplained issues. A healthcare provider should evaluate both partners to identify any underlying health factors. Infertility is clinically defined as failure to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse.

  If basic health evaluation rules out obvious physical problems, further investigation may be warranted. Hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and age-related changes in reproductive function can be assessed through medical testing. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), oestrogen, and progesterone levels can be measured to assess hormonal status. Low progesterone in the luteal phase can be associated with difficulty maintaining pregnancy, as adequate progesterone is necessary for endometrial preparation and support of the corpus luteum.

  For Men

  According to epidemiological data, as many as 10-15% of couples experience difficulty conceiving. In these cases, approximately one-third have male factor issues, one-third have female factor issues, and one-third have combined or unexplained issues. A healthcare provider should evaluate both partners to identify any underlying health factors.

  The most common male factor issue is abnormal sperm parameters (count, motility, or morphology). While only one sperm is needed to fertilize an egg, numerous biological barriers in the female reproductive tract filter sperm. Of approximately 200 million sperm in a typical ejaculate, only a small percentage reach the vicinity of the egg. Reduced sperm count or motility decreases the likelihood of successful fertilisation.

  In approximately 10% of low sperm count cases (oligospermia), a specific medical cause can be identified and potentially treated. In the remaining 90% of cases, no specific cause is identified (idiopathic oligospermia), though lifestyle modifications may help support reproductive health.

• WHY IS NUTRITION IMPORTANT?

  For Women

  Various lifestyle factors have been associated with reproductive health. Smoking, excess caffeine and alcohol consumption, extreme weight fluctuations, and stress may be associated with fertility challenges in women. Reproductive organs are susceptible to oxidative damage from environmental factors and aging. Adequate nutrition, including antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium, may help support reproductive health. Green tea has been studied for its antioxidant properties.

  Chasteberry is a traditional herb that has been studied for its potential role in supporting hormone balance, specifically by supporting progesterone. Some research has examined whether chasteberry supplementation may support progesterone levels and ovulation, though individual results vary.

  Several B vitamins and minerals have been associated with reproductive health in published research, including vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Deficiencies in these nutrients can theoretically impact reproductive function. L-Arginine is an amino acid that has been studied for its role in supporting circulation.

  For Men

  Various lifestyle factors may support reproductive health in men, including reduction of alcohol and tobacco use, avoidance of recreational drugs, and limiting exposure to environmental toxins. Nutritional status and supplementation are important factors in supporting male reproductive health. Sperm are susceptible to oxidative damage from environmental factors and aging. Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, green tea extract, and selenium may support sperm health by reducing oxidative stress. Ferulic acid and other compounds found in plants have been studied for antioxidant properties. Zinc and B vitamins play documented roles in male reproductive function, including hormone metabolism and sperm production. Amino acids such as L-Arginine and L-Carnitine have been studied for their potential roles in sperm formation and function. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts is generally recommended, though supplementation may be needed to achieve therapeutic nutrient levels.

• WILL THIS SUPPLEMENT WORK FOR ME?

• WOMEN OVER 40

  For Women

  Achieving pregnancy over age 40 presents biological challenges related to egg quality and quantity, but many women do successfully conceive naturally at this age. Hormonal changes that occur with aging may affect ovulation and menstrual cycle regularity. A supplement supporting hormone balance and overall reproductive health through antioxidant support may be a reasonable consideration as part of a broader fertility strategy.

  Egg quality rather than egg quantity is the primary factor in natural conception at advanced reproductive age. Antioxidant nutrients help protect developing eggs from oxidative stress. Supporting endometrial health is also important for successful implantation and pregnancy maintenance.

  Lifestyle factors associated with reproductive health include smoking cessation, maintaining a healthy body weight, regular moderate physical activity, limiting caffeine and alcohol consumption, and stress reduction practices such as mindfulness meditation. A healthcare provider can evaluate whether any medical factors may be contributing to difficulty conceiving and offer personalised recommendations.

  For Men

   

• LOW OVARIAN RESERVE

  For Women

  A diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, indicated by elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), can be concerning. However, these markers primarily predict response to fertility medications in an assisted reproduction setting rather than natural conception potential. Recent research suggests these tests may not be strong predictors of short-term natural conception in women with regular cycles and no other fertility issues.

  Egg quality is a significant factor in natural conception, particularly at advanced reproductive age. Supporting overall reproductive health through nutritional optimisation, hormone balance, and antioxidant support may be reasonable considerations. A healthy endometrial lining is essential for successful implantation and pregnancy support. Lifestyle factors including smoking cessation, healthy weight maintenance, regular moderate exercise, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and stress reduction practices are generally associated with reproductive wellness. A healthcare provider can discuss whether these approaches are appropriate for your individual situation.
