Coenzyme Q10
Egg QualityCellular EnergyMitochondrial Support
CoQ10 has been studied in relation to mitochondrial function within egg cells, where energy availability is relevant to normal oocyte development. It is of particular research interest for women aged 35 and over, and for those preparing for IVF, where mitochondrial health is a recognised area of focus.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Antioxidant SupportEgg QualityCellular Energy
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile antioxidant working in both water and fat-soluble environments, contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress throughout the body. Unlike most antioxidants, its dual solubility allows it to work across a broader range of cells and tissues - particularly relevant during the preconception period.
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine
Egg QualityCellular Energy35+ Support
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine has been studied in relation to the mitochondrial Carnitine shuttle within egg cells, where energy availability is relevant to normal oocyte development. Mitochondrial function naturally changes with age, making it of particular research interest for women aged 35 and over and those preparing for IVF.
Selenium
Antioxidant SupportThyroid HealthImmune Support
Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, including developing oocytes, and to normal thyroid function - relevant to the hormonal environment during preconception. It is one of the most studied antioxidant minerals in reproductive biology, particularly in combination with Vitamin E and other antioxidants.
Resveratrol
Antioxidant SupportCellular ProtectionEgg Quality
Resveratrol is a plant-derived antioxidant studied for its role in cellular protection during the preconception period, with particular research interest in its influence on the antioxidant environment around developing oocytes. It complements the broader antioxidant profile of Vitafem Boost.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant SupportEgg QualityCell Protection
Vitamin E is concentrated in follicular fluid, where it contributes to the antioxidant environment around developing oocytes during the approximately 90-day maturation window. As a fat-soluble antioxidant embedded in cell membranes, it provides targeted protection for egg cells - particularly relevant for women aged 35 and over or preparing for IVF.
Pine Bark Extract
Antioxidant SupportCirculationEgg Quality
Pine Bark Extract is a potent plant-derived antioxidant studied for its role in normal blood flow and microcirculation, which may support nutrient delivery to developing follicles during the preconception period. It provides broad-spectrum cellular protection, complementing the water and fat-soluble antioxidants in Vitafem Boost.
Quatrefolic® (Folate)
Cell DivisionPreconception SupportActive Folate
Folate supports normal blood formation, energy metabolism and mental function, plus DNA and cell division for egg development. Quatrefolic is an easily absorbed, active folate that also supports healthy homocysteine levels, key for fertility.
B Vitamin Complex
Hormonal BalanceEnergyPreconception Support
Helps support healthy hormone activity and female hormonal health overall. Vitafem uses active coenzyme forms of B6, B2 and B12 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate, Riboflavin-5-Phosphate and Methylcobalamin), which the body can use straight away, without needing an extra conversion step.
Iron
EnergyRed Blood CellsFatigue Support
Iron deficiency is common in women of reproductive age. Our gentle, highly absorbable bisglycinate form supports red blood cell and haemoglobin formation, oxygen transport, normal cognitive function and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin D3
Hormone SupportImmunityCell Division
Vitamin D3 plays a role in egg quality, implantation and hormone regulation, plus immune function and healthy cell division. Deficiency is common in the UK, and it may also support insulin sensitivity and inflammation, relevant for PMOS (PCOS) or endometriosis.
Zinc
Ovulation SupportEgg QualityHormone Regulation
Zinc supports ovulation, egg quality and the luteal phase, plus hormone regulation, cell repair and antioxidant defence, especially useful during high oxidative stress like IVF or age related decline. Vitafem uses zinc bisglycinate, the chelated form for superior absorption.
Aquamin® TG (Magnesium)
EnergyStress SupportHormone Regulation
Magnesium supports egg maturation, energy production and mental function, helping manage fatigue and stress during preconception, plus hormone regulation. Vitafem uses AquaminTG®, a naturally mineralised marine magnesium from red algae, for higher absorption.
Selenium
Antioxidant SupportThyroid FunctionPreconception Care
Selenium is an essential antioxidant mineral that helps protect cells from oxidative stress, supports normal thyroid function and contributes to healthy immune function. Vitafem uses selenomethionine, the organic form the body recognises and retains most efficiently.
Coenzyme Q10
Egg HealthEnergy ProductionMitochondrial Support
CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that supports cellular energy production in the egg. Egg quality is closely tied to mitochondrial function and CoQ10 naturally declines with age. Vitafem uses the active Ubiquinol form, which is more potent and restores optimal levels more quickly than Ubiquinone.
Vitamin E
Egg HealthCell ProtectionAntioxidant Support
Vitamin E supports endometrial health and helps protect developing eggs from oxidative stress, especially relevant for women over 35 or undergoing assisted conception. Vitafem uses the natural D-Alpha succinate form, more bioavailable and stable than synthetic alternatives.
Iodine
Thyroid FunctionHormone Balance
Essential for thyroid function, which directly impacts fertility and early foetal neurological development. Often overlooked in fertility formulations despite its importance.
Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil
Omega 3Brain DevelopmentAll Stages
Ultra-pure, marine-sourced DHA and EPA support sperm integrity and motility in men, egg health and hormone balance in women, foetal brain and nervous system development in pregnancy, and infant brain development during breastfeeding, when babies rely on maternal reserves.
Zinc
Ovulation SupportTestosterone SupportDNA synthesis
Zinc supports DNA synthesis, hormone production and immunity throughout the reproductive journey - aiding ovulation and egg quality in women, testosterone and sperm health in men, foetal neural development in pregnancy, and postnatal healing, hormone rebalance and immune transfer via breast milk.
Kaneka Ubiquinol™ (CoQ10)
Egg QualitySperm MotilityCellular Energy
Kaneka Ubiquinol is the active, reduced form of CoQ10, studied for its bioavailability profile compared to standard Ubiquinone. It has been researched in the context of mitochondrial function within reproductive cells, and is of particular interest for women over 35 or preparing for IVF.
Myo-Inositol
Ovarian FunctionHormone BalanceInsulin Sensitivity
Myo-Inositol has been studied in the context of insulin sensitivity and ovulatory function, particularly relevant for women with PMOS. It works alongside Folate in this formula, and has also been studied in relation to sperm quality in men, as part of a dual preconception support formula.
Quatrefolic® (Folate)
Cell GrowthEgg & Sperm QualityDNA Health
Active Folate contributes to normal DNA synthesis and cell division, relevant to both male and female preconception nutritional status. Quatrefolic® is the body-ready form, absorbed directly without the conversion step synthetic Folic Acid requires, working alongside Myo-Inositol in this dual preconception formula.
