Fertility Collagen Pro - Advanced Bovine Collagen For Preconception, Pregnancy and Postnatal
£39.95 Save £79.90
A fertility-focused collagen supplement designed to support egg and sperm quality for those undergoing IVF or trying to conceive, while also aiding protein and tissue needs during pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
Fertility Collagen Pro provides hydrolysed Type I and III collagen peptides sourced from grass-fed EU bovine collagen, which are rich in amino acids like glycine, proline, and arginine: key building blocks of connective tissue, skin, and joints, and increasingly recognised for their relevance in reproductive health.
These nutrients are essential for reproductive tissue health, ovarian function, and the structural integrity of eggs and sperm, making collagen particularly valuable during IVF or fertility treatment. As your journey continues, collagen also supports the increased protein demands of pregnancy and plays a vital role in postnatal recovery, helping with tissue repair, wound healing, and overall maternal wellbeing. Suitable for both partners at any stage of the journey.
What Is Fertility Collagen Pro?
Fertility Collagen Pro is a clean, high-quality protein supplement designed to support fertility, pregnancy, and postnatal recovery. It contains hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides: Types I and III. It is sourced from grass-fed EU cattle, known for some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and plays a vital role in reproductive tissue structure, repair, and function.
The collagen in this formula is hydrolysed, meaning it has been broken down into smaller peptides for easier digestion and faster absorption, making it more bioavailable than standard collagen. Type I collagen supports skin, bones, and connective tissue, while Type III is key for the structure of organs and blood vessels, including the uterus. Together, these collagen types help nourish the body throughout the reproductive journey, from egg and sperm health to tissue healing after birth.
How Does It Work?
Collagen is a structural protein that plays a crucial role in tissue strength, repair, and cellular health.
Protein requirements naturally rise during fertility treatments like IVF. Protein is an essential macronutrient that contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and the normal maintenance of bones. It also plays a role in tissue formation and repair — important functions throughout the reproductive journey. Incorporating collagen into your diet is one way to help meet your protein needs, especially when dietary requirements increase.
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes that affect the skin, joints, and connective tissues. Collagen is a protein that naturally occurs in these structures, and supplementing with collagen peptides can be a convenient way to support overall protein intake as your body adapts.
What Makes Fertility Collagen Pro Different
Not all collagen supplements are formulated with fertility in mind. Here is what sets Fertility Collagen Pro apart.
• EU-sourced, grass-fed bovine collagen: sourced from cattle raised under EU animal welfare standards, which are among the most stringent in the world. EU sourcing also provides full supply chain traceability, unlike many popular collagen brands that source from South American supply chains.
• Both Type I and Type III collagen peptides: many collagen supplements contain only Type I. Fertility Collagen Pro provides both. Type I supports skin, bones, and connective tissue; Type III is found in organs and blood vessels, including those associated with reproductive function such as the uterus.
• Hydrolysed for absorption: broken down into smaller peptides so the amino acids glycine, proline, and arginine are available to the body quickly and efficiently.
• Formulated specifically for fertility: developed alongside a leading IVF clinic, with preconception, IVF, pregnancy, and postnatal recovery in mind. Not a beauty collagen repurposed for fertility.
• Independently batch-tested: every batch is third-party tested, with downloadable certificates available so you can verify exactly what you are taking.

Why Take a Collagen Supplement?
Collagen is a vital structural protein that supports the health of your reproductive system, skin, joints, and connective tissues.
During fertility treatment or preconception, your body has increased protein demands, particularly for egg maturation, hormone production, and uterine health. Collagen provides essential amino acids like glycine, proline, and arginine that help build and repair reproductive tissues. It also plays a role in sperm quality and motility, making it beneficial for both partners.
During pregnancy and the postnatal period, collagen supports the body’s physical changes and healing, helping maintain tissue strength, skin elasticity, and recovery after birth.
When Should I Start Taking Fertility Collagen Pro?
You can start taking Fertility Collagen Pro as soon as you're preparing to conceive, whether naturally or through IVF. However, we recommend taking for at least 3 months prior.
We recommend continued daily use throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period helps meet increased protein needs, supports tissue resilience, and aids recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the benefits of collagen for fertility?
Collagen provides essential amino acids that support hormone production, egg quality, and ovarian function. It's particularly useful during IVF when protein needs are higher. Collagen may also support sperm development, making it beneficial for both partners.
-
Is collagen safe to take during pregnancy?
Yes. Collagen is a natural protein that supports skin elasticity, joint and ligament health, and the formation of your baby’s bones, skin, and organs. It’s an excellent way to top up your protein intake during pregnancy.
-
Can men take Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro?
Absolutely. Protein plays a vital role in sperm development and overall male reproductive health. This supplement is formulated to support both partners on their fertility journey.
-
What makes hydrolysed collagen peptides better?
Hydrolysed collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier to digest and absorb. This ensures the amino acids are available to support tissue repair, egg maturation, and hormone function more efficiently.
-
How do I take Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro?
Mix one 10g daily serving into your favourite drink or food, such as coffee, smoothies, yoghurt, or soup. It’s flavourless and fits easily into any diet.
-
Is Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro kosher?
This product is not certified kosher. Although it contains no additives, flavourings or preservatives and is made from clean EU bovine sources, it does not meet the formal requirements for kosher certification at this time.
-
Which amino acids in collagen are relevant for fertility?
Collagen naturally contains amino acids that play structural and functional roles in the body, some of which are increasingly recognised for their relevance in reproductive health. These include:
- Glycine – supports cellular health and contributes to the structure of reproductive tissues.
- Proline – important for maintaining healthy connective tissue, which includes the uterus and ovaries.
- Arginine – involved in blood flow and tissue repair, supporting circulation to reproductive organs.
- Hydroxyproline – unique to collagen, this amino acid helps maintain tissue strength and elasticity.
These amino acids are key building blocks for the body’s connective tissues, including those that support egg and sperm health, making collagen a valuable addition during fertility-focused nutrition planning.
-
How can I include collagen in a fertility nutrition plan?
Adding collagen to your fertility-focused nutrition plan can be both simple and beneficial:
- Daily Use: Fertility Collagen Pro provides 9g of protein in a 10g serving and can be stirred into smoothies, porridge, or hot drinks.
- Combine with Wholefoods: For best results, combine with a varied diet that includes vitamin C-rich foods, which support collagen synthesis.
- Consistent Routine: Regular daily intake is recommended, especially during the preconception phase and throughout pregnancy, when protein needs naturally increase.
It’s a convenient way to help meet your protein needs while supporting connective tissue structure across key stages of the fertility journey.
-
What’s the difference between Type I and III collagen for fertility?
Fertility Collagen Pro includes both Type I and Type III collagen peptides, each playing different but complementary roles:
