Fertility Vitamins

For Future Mothers

• Prenatal Vitamins

It’s a general rule to have taken prenatal vitamins three months before trying to conceive. Prenatal vitamins do not entirely ensure the chances of becoming pregnant however it can improve the health of your entire pregnancy. Studies show that taking prenatal vitamins greatly lower the risk of developing preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication that can turn fatal.

• Omega-3 Supplements

These contain fatty oils and acids needed to keep nerves and the immune system healthy. Unfortunately our bodies don’t produce the before mentioned fatty acids and oils naturally, therefore you run the risk of having depression, as well as heart disease.

Father’s To Be

The main option for men is to take generic fertility vitamins to boost their fertility. Fertility supplements for men usually contain the following essential vitamins:

• Folic Acid

Folic acid helps the testicles create DNA during the production of sperm. Studies reveal that even fertile men can have improved sperm production by taking adequate amounts of folic acid daily.

• Lycopene

Lycopene has a protective property to the male testicles. Having low levels of lycopene greatly increases the risks of being infertile as well and a risk of getting prostate cancer. This substance is abundant in tomatoes. If tomoatoes are not part of a man’s diet then he needs to consider taking a daily dose of lycopene supplements to protect the sperm from damage.
