Important Nutrients for Fertility
How to Pick a Multivitamin
When you begin trying to get pregnant you hear from many different sources that it is a good idea to begin using a prenatal multivitamin before you become pregnant. There are now studies backing this advice. Multivitamins serve as a type of “back up” plan to our diets. While eating a healthy fertility diet is of the utmost importance, it is always a good idea to include a whole food prenatal multivitamin in your program as well.
“A study from Harvard Medical school involving 18,000 women has shown that taking multi vitamins, particularly folic acid, can improve chances of pregnancy…”
That study followed nurses who had hoped to get pregnant for an eight year period. Women who took their multivitamin six times a week were 40% less likely to fail to ovulate than women who took none.
The Importance of Nutrients for Fertility & Pregnancy
Nutrition plays a big roll in having healthy fertility and experiencing a healthy pregnancy. Nutritional deficiencies have been linked to ovulation issues, hormonal imbalances, poor egg health, low sperm count and so much more. We are literally what we eat. Every cell in our bodies that make up our organs, create hormones and enzymes that make us function and these are created by the nutrients we take in through the food we eat. If this is being compromised due to a poor diet or poor digestion the side effects could affect fertility.
Did you know that there are specific nutrients like folic acid that are needed by the young fetus before you can even detect pregnancy, and a deficiency in this nutrient could cause serious birth defects? Another example is iron, iron deficiency has been linked to lack of ovulation.
So nutrition does play a big roll in our health, fertility and in pregnancy. Taking a whole food multivitamin daily can help to fill the gaps where diets may be falling short.

Important Nutrients for Fertility
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is needed to help the body create sex hormones which in turn affects ovulation and hormonal balance. Yale University School of Medicine conducted a study of 67 infertile women, where it was discovered that a mere 7% had normal Vitamin D levels.
Vitamin E: This nutrient as been shown in studies to improve sperm health and motility in men. Studies have also shown a diet deficient in Vitamin E to be a cause of infertility in rats. The meaning of the name for vitamin E, ‘Tocopherol’, literally means to bear young. Vitamin E is also an important antioxidant to help protect sperm and egg DNA integrity.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C improves hormone levels and increases fertility in women with luteal phase defect, according to a study published in Fertility and Sterility. As for men, vitamin C has been shown to improve sperm quality and protect sperm from DNA damage; helping to reduce the chance of miscarriage and chromosomal problems. Vitamin C also appears to keep sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.
“A study published in Fertility and Sterility, states that vitamin C improves hormone levels and increases fertility in women with luteal phase defect.”
B6: Vitamin B6 may be used as a hormone regulator. It also helps to regulate blood sugars, alleviates PMS, and may be useful in relieving symptoms of morning sickness. B6 has also been shown to help with Luteal Phase Defect.
B12: Vitamin B12 has been shown to improve sperm quality and production. It also may help to boost the endometrial lining in egg fertilization, decreasing the chances of miscarriage. Some studies have found that a deficiency of B12 may increase the chances of irregular ovulation, and in severe cases stop ovulation altogether.
Folic Acid: Perhaps one of the best known vitamins necessary for pregnancy is folic acid. This vitamin helps prevent neural tube defects as well as congenital heart defects, cleft lips, limb defects, and urinary tract anomalies in developing fetuses. Deficiency in folic acid may increase the risk of going into preterm labor, infant low birth weight and fetal growth retardation. Deficiency may also increase the homocysteine levels in the blood, which can lead to spontaneous abortion and pregnancy complications, such as placental abruption and preeclampsia.
Iron: Studies have shown that women who do not get sufficient amounts of iron may suffer anovulation (lack of ovulation) and possibly poor egg health, which can inhibit pregnancy at a rate 60% higher than those with sufficient iron stores in their blood.
“In a study women who were having ovulation problems, 40% became fertile after supplementing with iron.”
Selenium: This antioxidant helps to protect the eggs and sperm from free radicals. Free radicals can cause chromosomal damage which is known to be a cause of miscarriages and birth defects. Selenium is also necessary for the creation of sperm. In studies, men with low sperm counts have also been found to have low levels of selenium.
Zinc: In women, zinc works with more than 300 different enzymes in the body to keep things working well. Without it, your cells can not divide properly; your estrogen and progesterone levels can get out of balance and your reproductive system may not be fully functioning. According to one study, low levels of zinc have been linked to miscarriage in the early stages of a pregnancy.
What to Look for in a Multivitamin
If you are going to take the time and spend the money on a prenatal multivitamin, you should make sure you are getting the best you can. There is a big difference between quality of different multivitamins and the body’s ability to breakdown, assimilate and utilize the nutrients. The best type of prenatal multivitamin is one that is made from whole foods. This will be easier for your body to breakdown and use since it is closer to food than synthesized vitamins.
So forget about those cheap, low-cost bottles of multivitamins you might find at the wholesale clubs, pharmacies or grocery stores and stick to a whole food preconception multivitamin for the best results.
Also make sure that the multivitamin you choose contains the essential fertility nutrients mentioned above. One last thing, men need to be taking a whole food multivitamin as well, since the male partner will be making up half of the child! The health of his sperm is greatly impacted by the nutrients he is consuming daily.
I am in my mid forties though I was not actively trying to conceive after reading this article, trying to conceive is top on my mind now. I kept putting it off. I actually stumbled on this site while searching for maca milk. My question is does taking estrogen containing supplements such as Fenugeek+Blessed thistle, wild yam and fennel hinder one hoping to conceive? I am taking those to help boost the size of my “2 ladies”. I plan to now purchase the fertility multivitamin, just curios to know if I need to stop the other 3 supplements when I am actually ready or just keep taking?
Dear Pearl,
Fenugreek, Blessed Thistle, Wild Yam and Fennel aren’t known to hinder fertility health. What is best really, is to continue your research on how these herbs act in the body in order to decide if they are right for you, or to work with an herbalist near you of course.
Hi, do your multivitamin contain DHA? if not do you have one that does? Thank you
Dear Sharlene,
Our Fertilica Cod Liver Oil and Fertilica Omega 3,6,9 Complete EFA contain DHA. Either are a wonderful complement to our Fertile Woman One Daily WholeFood Multivitamin. You’re likely to find DHA in essential fatty acid or omega supplements rather than a multivitamin.
okay i do it
hi.. I’ve been wanting to get pregnant. We were marriage 5 years ago. We tried to go to the doctor and followed his advices yet we cannot make it. what shall we do? i am desperate. how can we make a baby?
Dear R,
Do you know if you or your husband have fertility health issues and what advice did you try (from your doctor)?
You can certainly consider a whole foo multivitamin, but there be other natural therapies to learn more. It would help me to learn more about you to share about those.
Feel free to reply here, or contact us here…
Hi- I am currently taking a prenatal multivitamin but looking to enhance my supplement intake and focus on fertility supplements not just a multivitamin. how do you recommend I do that? Should I continue to take the multivitamin and simply add a few supplements? Thanks!
Dear Jessica,
That may be one way, yes, but it may all depend on your goal(s). If you have a fertility health issue, there may be specific areas of focus. If you do not have a fertility health issue, then perhaps some basics will be best – basics like the Top 10 Natural Fertility Boosters.
I am a 40 y/o woman. Recently diagnosed with menopause. My period stopped 2 years ago. Is there a natural treatment to help produce eggs?
Dear Sol,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
In general, menopause is not natural at the age of 40. The body is showing signs of imbalance and that there is work to be done. Consider learning more in out guide Female Fertility Health: Balancing Hormones in Premenopause. It may be helpful first to have help by a specialist perhaps in knowing what is causing menstruation to be absent/hormonal imbalance.
I hope this is a helpful place to start!
Hi its Sara from Pakistan I am 25 year old married lady and wanted to conceive now, your article is really informative and helpful to me.
Thank you
Hi! I’m 48 years old with Hashimoto Thyroiditis and been taking levothyroxine, Vit. D, E, C and iron supplements. I thought I was pregnant last October and had pregnancy testing done and it came out negative. I was so devasted because we’ve been trying to have a baby for more than 3 years and as of now my period has not come. I guess I am experiencing a pre-menopausal or maybe I am menopausing. I need your input on how to get pregnant with the only time left that I have. I’m so desperate to have a baby.
Dear Cha,
I’m sorry to hear about how hard this journey has been for you. How long has your period been absent? Menstruation does naturally shift, often skipping months, as women near age 50. As hard as this can be when wishing to conceive and have a baby, it is the natural aging process that is actually healthy.
So, moving forward, it is great to continue to address and support thyroid health. It may also help to refer to my guide Female Fertility Health: Balancing Hormones in Premenopause. As you will read there, you might enlist the help of a team of different professionals to support you. You deserve that!
I hope this is a helpful place to start!
I am preparing for pregnancy (I had my first miscarriage 3 months ago) and I have “lean” PCOS and don’t ovulate very frequently. I’ve hear everywhere that women should take a prenatal multivitamin when preparing for pregnancy, but is it safe to take extra iron when I’m not pregnant? I don’t want to get too much iron, I eat meat and iron rich foods. The Baby&Me prenatal has 18 mg of Iron. Is this too much for a woman who isn’t pregnant? I see that your preconception multivitamin has much less iron.
Dear Trisha,
I am so sorry for your loss!
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements shares that the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for woman aged 19–50 years is 18 mg and in pregnancy is 27 mg. These numbers can of course be reached by eating iron-rich foods and taking a supplement. Fertile Woman One Daily contains adequate amounts of iron for preconception and not too much, and then Baby and Me is a prenatal that will help a woman meet that 27mg in pregnancy.
Low iron can in fact impact fertility health, yet if you are concerned, consider starting with Fertile Woman One Daily.
Have you seen our guide that shares Important Natural Health Tips for Women with Lean PCOS? This may be helpful to review as well.
can i purchase these pills at a whole food store
Dear Virginia,
While whole food multivitamins are likely available at Whole Foods and many healthfood stores/co-ops, Fertile Woman One Daily – Whole Food Multivitamin, specific to preparation for conception, is only available from the Natural Fertility Shop.
WHERE CAN I FIND THESE PILLS?
Dear Anna,
Two wholefood multivitamins for women are available from the Natural Fertility Shop…
Fertile Woman One Daily Whole Food Multivitamin is a woman’s multi intended for use while trying to conceive. You can see Fertile Women One Daily here…
Baby and Me Whole Food Prenatal is intended for use when pregnant and while breastfeeding. You can see Baby and Me here…
We also sell a men’s multivitamin. If you would like more information about this one, please ask.
Hello, i think for the above information to be more helpful , we need to know the quantity of each vitamin or mineral that one requires every day. thx
Dear Mbabaz,
A quality whole food multivitamin is likely to meet the daily requirements of many nutrients, vitamins and minerals (but may not all). We share in this article nutrients essential for fertility health, to make sure they are in the multivitamin you choose. Regarding the recommended daily allowance (RDA) or quantity, this will take some research or a discussion with a nutritionist. We do not list specific quantities here as the amount may differ from men to women and between women who are trying to conceive versus women who are pregnant.
The Natural Fertility Shop offers two wholefood multivitamins for women…
Fertile Woman One Daily Whole Food Multivitamin is a woman’s multi intended for use while trying to conceive. See Fertile Woman One Daily here…
Baby and Me Whole Food Prenatal is intended for use when pregnant and while breastfeeding. See Baby and Me here…

hi, im married for five years and i had a operation of endometriosis.my husband had a mumps then his scrotum was affected…what would be best vitamin or how can we overcome for my husband situation sense its really serious condition about his sperm count low motility.please help us.im taking folic and vitamin e my husband taking fertility aid..
Hi amor,
Mumps realated Orchitis, which is what your husband has, needs to be addressed with his medical doctor. There is no way via this type of communication to know what the extent of damage may be to his testes and sperm production. It is extremely rare for a man to become completely infertile due to Orchitis. As always, it can still be beneficial to support sperm health and male reproductive function naturally, while simultaneously working with his doctor to determine the extent of his condition. To learn ways to improve sperm health, please read our article at this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/mens-fertility
I hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.
Thank you very much for your vital information.
Good Morning,
I drink close to the recommended amt of water on a daily basis. Does drinking a lot of water flush away my expensive vitamins??? I guess are vitamins as effective if taken w/lots of water or is it better to drink lots of water an hour or 2 before or after taking vitamins???
Thank you so much.
Dear Sam,
I have not ever read that drinking at least 8 full glasses of clean, filtered water a day (which is what we suggest) has prevented proper absorption of nutrients from vitamin and mineral supplements, or herbs. To my knowledge there is no substantial evidence that taking supplements with water causes them to be flushed out of the body before proper absorption can occur.
It is great that you are staying hydrated!
Good Morning Elizabeth,
My question is that I keep coming across articles that state that taking vitamins and minerals will increase the risk of lung cancer and heart disease. I’m currently taking lots of Vitamins n herbs and am very worried, should I be???
Hi Sam,
I think one only needs to worry if they are taking too many synthetic vitamin and mineral dietary supplements. Here is a direct quote from the article you are wondering about:
*Amy Capetta, April 21, 2015. Warning: Too Many Dietary Supplements May Increase Cancer Risk Retrieved from: yahoo.com/health
If you are worried about how many nutritional supplements you are taking, you may want to talk to your doctor about your specific dietary needs.
I had my Prolactin checked for 3 consecutive months and the results were as follows 627.7, 459, 546 uIU/ML. Im a little worried about this. My menses are regular and my Thyroid test were all in normal range. Now I am taking carrot juice on a daily basis and along with some fruits. Do i have to take some medications for my prolactin levels?
Dear Iren,
I am sorry this is worrisome! I can not help you determine whether you need medication for your prolactin levels, this is a conversation best has with your healthcare provider. I can however share information with you about naturally supporting healthy prolactin levels.
I hope this is helpful as you learn why this may have happened and how to naturally support the body in achieving balance.
I am going to have an embryo transfer and have already been taking the Baby and Me Vitamin. I never thought of having my spouse take a multivitamin as well. Do you recommend a multivitamin for my husband to take to help with a successful birth?
Dear Yaneli,
A whole food men’s multivitamin such as MegaFood Men’s One Daily supplies important nutrients for male health like vitamins C, E, D, B6, Folate, B12, zinc and magnesium as well as the immune system and body strengthening herbs astragalus, eleuthero, fo-ti, saw palmetto, nettles, schisandra and dandelion leaf.
A man should consider taking a whole food multivitamin if he wishes to support his overall and fertility health, as well as sperm health, and feels he needs to boost the nutrients important for reproductive health.
In terms of the embryo transfer, it would be best to be supporting sperm health prior to creation of the embryo. This being said, a whole food multivitamin would still support is overall health even after.
Best wishes to you both!
I thought about changing my diet to a very nutritious food diet, for example, wheat grass juice, raw veggies and fruits. I want to take multivitamins as well from your shop. What if I take in excess vitamins through multivitamins and foods that I consider? I have heard somewhere that taking excess vitamins also leads to problems. Is that true? What do you suggest?
Dear Neha,
While yes one can consume too much of a good thing, given how nutritionally void most modern diets are, a whole food multivitamin is considered “insurance” for a whole food diet. This is especially true if the fruits and vegetables, in fact all of the foods consumed, are not entirely organic or grown without harmful chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones, etc.).
What is key to consider is eating balanced meals filled with a variety of foods. Whole food sources of nutrients from the diet and whole food multivitamins contain everything – vitamins and minerals, catalysts and enzymes – needed to aid that nutrient in being digested, absorbed and properly utilized by the body.
Consider learning more about a Fertility Diet as well.
I hope I explained this well for you. Please ask if not!
The nutrients in and whole food multivitamins are recognized by the body and absorbed just like a nutritious meal.
Hello! I live in Australia and I am unable to find the vitamins I have read in your news feed. Can you please let me know what I can use here and where to find them?
Thank you!
Hell Leanne!
Many whole food multivitamins contain the nutrients mentioned in this article. The Natural Fertility Shop carries Fertile Woman One Daily – Whole Food Multivitamin and Baby and Me whole food prenatal multivitamin. Each can be shipped to Australia. I am sorry I am not aware of what brands are available where you live.
My multivitamin is Nature’s Plus Source of Life Women. It has 10,000 IU of Vitamin A per two pills (recommended daily dose). I also eat kale and drink coconut milk and eat other things with relatively high vitamin A levels. I read that too much vitamin A is not good. What is a recommended daily dose?
Also I eat quite a bit of fresh pineapple. I read that it is good in moderation, but to be careful on its amount too. What do you recommend?
Dear Anne Marie,
Some studies have shown that consuming too much vitamin A may cause birth defects. These studies reported that this only happens with synthetic forms of water-soluble vitamin A, when consumed in very high amounts. When vitamin A is taken as a whole food source it is not toxic to developing babies. When vitamin A is combined with vitamin D, it has been shown that the vitamin D protects the body from vitamin A toxicity. This allows the human body to withstand higher levels of vitamin A.
Vitamin A is essential for: proper development of the retina and vision, gene transcription, immune function, reproductive health and embryonic development, skin and cellular health, and antioxidant activity.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements and the Mayo Clinic, the RDA of vitamin A for woman ages 19-50 is 700mcg (micrograms) which is 2,300 IU per day. Consider reaching out to Nature’s Plus to ask the reason for the amount of vitamin A in this multivitamin.
Consider also reading the article Using Bromelain to Encourage Implantation – One Pineapple Slice at a Time.
Everything in moderation! I hope this is helpful!
hi there, I’m 40yrs old and have been trying to conceive for the 5yr,just had a fibriod surgery what vitamins do I need to take to help me conceive. Thank you
Dear Vabo,
We think of whole food multivitamins as insurance for a Fertility Diet. They provide nutrients that are necessary for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Fertile Woman One Daily – Whole Food Multivitamin is intended for use while trying to conceive and Baby and Me whole food prenatal multivitamin by MegaFood can to be taken in pregnancy and while breast feeding.
While instrumental for boosting nutrient stores, a multivitamin may not be all you need to naturally support uterine health. Consider the additional suggestions for supporting uterine health that are made here…
Can I take the one daily vitamins with progesterone cream., there are fears that the progesterone cream may cause cancer…
Dear Ada,
Fertile Woman One Daily can be taken with Fertilica Natural Progesterone Cream.
Regarding your fears of natural progesterone cream causing cancer, here is a clear, accurate description of this labeling issue, as explained by the nonprofit group Women in Balance:
“The state of California, under Proposition 65, requires warning labels on consumer products that contain ingredients “known to the state” as posing potential cancer risk. Women in Balance believes that placing a warning label on progesterone cream products is not warranted…” Meaning there is no real scientific or accurate reason to have this label placed on the Natural Progesterone Cream. This is because of the following reasons:
-Natural Progesterone is bioidentical to human progesterone. Prescription synthetic man made progesterone is NOT the same as natural progesterone, but the law requires any product that says “progesterone” to have this Prop. 65 warning.
– Progesterone was added to this list in 1988 based on summaries from the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Both of these programs only evaluated progesterone given to animals already predisposed to cancer. Progesterone was then given to these high risk animals in very high doses. These animals were also given known carcinogens in addition to the high doses of progesterone. (So animals that were already more than likely to develop cancer were given high amounts of progestin (synthetic progesterone) and other cancer causing chemicals, NOT Natural Progesterone Cream. This means that natural progesterone was not even tested…
– The NTP’s Tenth Report on Carcinogens even acknowledges that “no adequate human studies of the relationship between exposure to progesterone and human cancer have been reported.”
Progesterone and progestins are very different. Natural Progesterone Cream companies that DON’T add this label in California become vulnerable to lawsuits from a particularly nasty group of attorneys who are using Prop 65 to make millions of dollars. Meanwhile, there are 799 other chemicals out there, most of which probably do pose a risk of cancer.
Here also is an article to help explain the warning all companies have to put on their progesterone cream: http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/pgcreamlabelwarning.html
I assure you that if we felt that a product contained cancer-causing ingredients we would NOT sell it. We are proud of our Fertilica brand products and feel they are very high quality and effective!
I hope this is helpful!
Hi there, I’m 37 and have been trying to conceive for the last 4 years. I have low AMH and have never been pregnant. I’m taking pregvit what else would you recommend?

Hi,
I have endometriosis and have been looking for a good whole food prenatal. My problem is that they seem to contain red raspberry which I keep reading is controversial for people with endo. Can you make any recommendations? Thank you
Dear Carrie,
We support taking the women’s whole food multivitamin Fertile Women One Daily. It does contain a very small amount of red raspberry leaf which we know to be a nourishing uterine tonic. In fact this fertility herb may help reduce the bleeding of endometrial tissues.
We do not know of evidence that proves Red Raspberry Leaf should be avoided by women with endometriosis.
I hope this is helpful!
are celrium, pregncare , one-a-day woman and brainstorm fertility multivitamins and herbals
also can i use evening primrose oil with any of the above multivitamins
Hello Atinuke!
My apologies, but I am not familiar with products you are asking about. It would be best for you to reach out to the makers of each product to ask the intended use of them. I also can not speak to combining them with Evening Primrose Oil as I am not certain what is exactly in them. In general Evening Primrose can be combined with a multivitamin, but this too would be better asked of the manufacturers of these products.
Take care!

Hi alexia,
I am sorry to hear about your loss!
Fertile Woman One Daily Multivitamin is great for preconception health for women and we like MegaFood’s Men’s One Daily Multivitamin for men. Unfortunately we don’t ship to Norway. MegaFood products are sold elsewhere, so that would be an option, their prenatal multivitamin is called Baby and Me, it is 100% whole food and great for preconception health, pregnancy and lactation.
Best Wishes!
Dear Dalene, when i read this website I have this question in my mind to ask you. Actually 4 years ago i got pregnant but i lost it. And now that i get married, me and my husband want to start a new life means we want to have baby. Its been 4 months since we get married but until now i dont get pregnant. Im 22 yrs.old.. please can you help me what is the best way to do for me to easy get pregnant? Actually he told me if I dont release my water means during ejaculation, its not possible to get pregnant.. please try to help me. Thanks..
Hi Fathma,
I am sorry to hear about your loss! It is possible you and your new husband are missing your most fertile time. There is an easy solution for this…Fertility Charting! You can learn to chart your menstrual cycles and detect ovulation quite easily by learning how to take note of changes in your body during your monthly cycle. Click here to learn how to get started charting your fertility cycle… Be sure you are also taking a good whole food multivitamin, we like Fertilica Fertile Woman One Daily.
I am not sure what you mean by “release my water during ejaculation”? It is important for you to have adequate cervical mucous during sexual intercourse, as this is necessary to help the sperm get where they need to be. Being intimate (foreplay) prior to sexual intercourse will help you to release more fertile cervical mucous for enjoyable and fertile intercourse.
I hope that helps you get started. Best Wishes!
Dear Dalene, thank you I see, I was take prenatal multivitamin, to weeks a go. Drink juices for clean my body, I am 48 now, in november 49, I will have in August 10 year wit my husband, but 3 year dating in total 13 years . In 2005 lost a baby 7 weeks, in 2010 IVF twins lost too.
I wil take my maca, multivitamins, my juices and preparade my self. I FORGET I HAVE MACA I will start take again with royal yelly
What else you recommended, and for how long
Thank you appreciated
Hi Giovanna,
It sounds like you are doing all the right things to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy! I am sorry to hear of your past losses. To be completely honest, I want gently remind you that egg health is what is of most concern for women who are trying for a baby in their 40s. I often urge women over 45 to consider embryo adoption or an egg donor, as this is the best way to ensure a successful pregnancy and healthy child in this stage of life. I know this isn’t for every couple, but I hate to see women in their later 40s struggle for years and years and come up fruitless. Pregnancy success rates are much, much higher with an egg donor or through embryo adoption for women over 45, than IVF with their own eggs, or through natural conception. I am in no way trying to dash your hopes, I just want to help you achieve your dream of holding the child you desire in your arms.
Sending you many blessings!
