ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants help with lowering inflammation and improving both egg and sperm quality. These supplements help both women and men naturally boost their fertility, and support their chances of conceiving a healthy child. They are optional add-ons to your supplement regimen since most can be found in your prenatal. Please consult a healthcare professional or work with someone one on one to determine which of these supplements would be best for you and your partner to add into your regimen.

Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that plays an essential role in fertility by helping the mitochondria produce energy that is used by our cells. Since egg cells are so large they require more energy to produce healthy eggs, making adequate amounts of Coq10 vital for this process. It’s safe to say this applies to sperm cells as well and has been shown to increase sperm motility and count.

N-Acetyl Cysteine or NAC

It is important for good egg quality and egg DNA, as well as sperm motility, count, morphology and reduction in DNA fragmentation.
