Supplements To Improve Egg Quality

You may not want to read this if you are the type of person who blindly believes and trusts everything your medical doctor tells you. While we all want to be able to believe and trust our doctors, sometimes you need to do your research, after all, you are your advocate. Maybe you have a doctor who has told you about these supplements, if so, awesome, you’ve got yourself a good Doctor. Just remember, doctors will tell you to find a prenatal vitamin and start taking it, and then track your cycle and get busy. Ok, I suppose that is decent advice, I mean it’s pretty straight forward, but not anything we didn’t already know. Usually, this is all that they advise and fail to leave out other important supplements that could help. What they aren’t telling you about are the added supplements you could be taking that can help your egg quality and your overall chance to conceive each month. Below are two supplements you should consider taking if you are trying to conceive.

VITAMIN D3 – 

Believe it or not but most people are deficient in Vitamin D, even those who think they get out and get sun. Just remember that the actual sun isn’t the best for you, as UV rays are not good for your skin. UV rays can cause spots and premature aging – who wants that? No one! The good news is that Vitamin D is great for egg quality and can easily be supplemented. Vitamin D can boost the production of good quality eggs in the ovaries and improve the chance of the embryo implanting into the uterus. This is why it has been linked to better fertility for women trying to conceive, it has also been linked to healthy pregnancies thus can be taken throughout your pregnancy, and actually should be! I took vitamin D before, during, and still do after pregnancy.

COENZYME Q10 (COQ10) – 

This is a great supplement that will enhance fertility for both men and women. Found in every cell of our bodies, CoQ10 is apart of what is called an electron transport chain, responsible for generating energy within our cells. Functioning as a powerful antioxidant, it decreases the damming effects of free radicals that can torch our reproductive systems. Why it’s so important? As we age, our naturally occurring levels of CoQ10 diminish. When this happens, cells that require high energy, for example, those responsible for fertilization and embryo development no longer have the energy to work as hard – resulting in lower efficiency. In short, resulting in you being unable to conceive, or leading to higher rates of genetically abnormal embryos. Should you take this vitamin if trying to conceive? Absolutely.

When it comes to trying to conceive over 35 it is all about making sure your body is as healthy as possible. The healthier your body the easier the pregnancy will be, and who doesn’t want to have a smooth pregnancy? Of course, situations may arise but being ready for them by starting in shape and healthy, will allow you to better navigate what pregnancy may throw your way. If you have been trying and have had no success give these supplements a try before you go off and spend big money on fertility treatments.
