Our Female Fertility Range

Female fertility issues can make it difficult for a woman to conceive. These include irregular periods, poor egg quality, endometriosis, PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) and age.

Female fertility supplements can be beneficial for women who are trying to conceive. These supplements are designed to provide the body with the nutrients and vitamins it needs to support reproductive health.

Whether you have just decided to start trying to conceive (TTC), are finding it difficult, have an underlying health condition which could impact your fertility, are considering IVF/FET or are considering freezing your eggs, we have a number of dietary supplements that can help support your female fertility.

There are several nutrients that are particularly important when trying to conceive. One of the most commonly recommended is Folic Acid, which the NHS recommends to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Other important nutrients for female fertility include Iron, Vitamin D and Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which support overall reproductive health.

Frequently asked questions

When am I most fertile during my cycle?
You’re most fertile at the time of ovulation, this is when the egg is released from the ovaries. Depending on your cycle length this will occur at different times for everyone. Generally it occurs 12 to 16 days before your next period starts.

Sperm can live inside a woman’s body for up to 5 days so having regular sex throughout your cycle can boost your chances of conception as the sperm will be ready to fertilise when the egg is released.
Are painful periods a sign of good fertility?
Whilst there isn’t a link between painful periods and fertility, the regularity of your cycles is one indication of your fertility.

If you have long cycles you are reducing your opportunities each month to get pregnant and if you have irregular cycles the chances are you’re not ovulating. Having irregular cycles doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant.

If you are having irregular cycles or painful periods we recommend consulting your GP.
Can supplements enhance fertility?
The correct nutrient intake is vital to produce adequate sperm, ovulate or maintain pregnancy. In an ideal world we would get all of the nutrients we need from diet however, supplements can support nutritional intake. Everyone who is trying to conceive should be on a Folic Acid supplement (active form Folate) and Vitamin D, for those following a vegan diet they should consider a Vitamin B12 and Iron.

Taking nutritional supplements can help support a balanced diet in ensuring you have the nutrient reserves to support your fertility. That said, no supplement can guarantee a specific outcome, and individual results will vary depending on your own circumstances.
Is a couple's fertility always dependent on the woman and not the man?
No! Male fertility is just as important as female fertility. Men need to be aware that age can affect their fertility too. A man in his 40s can have more abnormalities in their sperm than a man in his 20s. The more abnormalities, the harder it could be to conceive. There are also a number of causes for male infertility such as low sperm count, motility and DNA fragmentation. It's important to think about supporting male fertility as well as female fertility through lifestyle, diet and supplements.
What are the best supplements for female fertility?
We recommend Zita West Vitafem as a foundational support supplement, which contains an array of vitamins and minerals which have been researched to support egg quality and hormonal balance. Including 400µg of Active Folate (Quatrefolic®) for the body to use.

For those looking for a comprehensive pack of supplements formulated to support female reproductive health for those just deciding to try, we recommend Zita West Female Foundation Fertility Support Pack.

For those who are looking to support their egg health, we recommend Zita West Ultimate Egg Health Pack, which contains supplements formulated to support egg health.
What vitamins are the best for fertility & getting pregnant?

Folic Acid: Zita West Vitafem contains the superior form, Folate. This supplement also contains other essential vitamins and minerals for fertility such as Iron and Zinc.

Vitamin D is an important nutrient when trying to conceive. It is important for both women and men who are trying to conceive and for women when they are pregnant.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are an important part of a preconception diet, and we recommend Zita West Vital DHA, which contains Omega-3 essential Fatty Acids plus Zinc, which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. Read more about why we use Folate rather than Folic Acid.

What should I look for when comparing fertility or pregnancy vitamins?
• Check the form and amount of Folate. The NHS recommends 400µg of Folic Acid a day. Look at whether it is provided as Folic Acid or as active Folate (5-MTHF), which the body can use without conversion.

• Check the Vitamin D. The NHS recommends 10µg a day during preconception and pregnancy.

• Look at whether the amounts are meaningful, not just present, by comparing against the NRV on the label. Look at the forms of minerals too, such as bisglycinate.

• Ask whether the product is formulated for your stage. Preconception, each trimester and breastfeeding have different needs.

• Check whether Omega-3 DHA is included or needs to be taken separately, and whether there is a matching product for your partner.

• Look for independent third-party testing, ideally with batch certificates you can check.

• In pregnancy, avoid Vitamin A in the retinol form. Beta Carotene is a safe source.
