Can Taking Prenatal Vitamins Increase Fertility? Here’s the Evidence
When it comes to boosting your fertility, prenatal vitamins are often one of the first recommendations made by doctors and fertility coaches alike. But how much do they really help? At The Fertility Solution, I guide women on how to use prenatal vitamins strategically to support their fertility journey.
Why Prenatal Vitamins Matter:
Folic Acid (or Methylfolate) – Essential for DNA synthesis and cell division, folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects and supports healthy egg development. If you have the MTHFR gene mutation, methylfolate may be a better choice as it is more easily absorbed by the body.
Vitamin D – Critical for hormone regulation and overall reproductive health. Research shows that women with adequate Vitamin D levels are more likely to conceive.
Iron – Supports healthy blood flow to reproductive organs and reduces the risk of ovulatory infertility.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Reduces inflammation, balances hormones, and improves egg quality.
Vitamin B12 – Helps maintain healthy ovarian function and supports proper cell division.
Zinc – Essential for egg maturation and hormone production.
Calcium – Supports bone health and hormonal regulation during preconception.
Magnesium – Helps reduce inflammation and manage stress levels, which is crucial for hormone balance.
