Question 1

What are the benefits of collagen for fertility?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Why take a collagen supplement?

Accepted Answer

Protein needs are higher during preconception, fertility treatment such as IVF, pregnancy and the postnatal period. Fertility Collagen Pro provides 9g of Protein per serving from hydrolysed Type I and III bovine Collagen, which is rich in Amino Acids such as Glycine, Proline and Arginine, the building blocks of connective tissue. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones, so Collagen can be a convenient way to help meet your Protein needs at every stage, for both women and men.

Question 3

Is collagen safe to take during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Collagen is a natural protein that supports skin elasticity and joint and ligament health, and helps meet the increased protein demands of pregnancy. It's an excellent way to top up your protein intake during pregnancy.

Question 4

Can men take Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Protein is an important part of a balanced diet for both partners when preparing for conception. This supplement is formulated to support both partners on their fertility journey.

Question 5

What makes hydrolysed collagen peptides better?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysed collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier to digest and absorb. This means the amino acids are readily available to help meet your body's protein needs.

Question 6

Which amino acids in collagen are relevant for fertility?

Accepted Answer

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: a key building block of connective tissue.
• Arginine: an Amino Acid that has been studied in relation to blood flow.
• 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, which may support reproductive tissue health, making collagen a valuable addition during fertility-focused nutrition planning.

Question 7

Can collagen help support uterine lining or IVF outcomes?

Accepted Answer

While collagen is not a treatment or guarantee of IVF success, it may play a supportive role in overall reproductive tissue health. Collagen provides amino acids like glycine and arginine, which:

• May support reproductive tissue health
• Helps meet increased protein needs during assisted fertility treatments

Question 8

What makes Fertility Collagen Pro different?

Accepted Answer

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.
• 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 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.

Question 9

How do I take Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is Zita West Fertility Collagen Pro kosher?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

How can I include collagen in a fertility nutrition plan?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

What’s the difference between Type I and III collagen for fertility?

Accepted Answer

Fertility Collagen Pro includes both Type I and Type III collagen peptides, each playing different but complementary roles:

• Type I collagen is the most abundant in the body and supports skin, bones, and connective tissues — all of which are under increased demand during pregnancy and recovery.
• Type III collagen is found in organs and blood vessels, including those associated with reproductive function, such as the uterus.

Together, these types contribute to overall tissue health and structural integrity, supporting the body during conception, pregnancy, and postnatal recovery.

Question 13

What is the recommended collagen dosage when trying to conceive or pregnant?

Accepted Answer

A 10g daily serving of Fertility Collagen Pro provides 9g of protein and is suitable for both women and men preparing for conception, undergoing fertility treatment, or already pregnant.

• Preconception & Fertility Support: Consistent daily use may help meet the increased protein needs during this time.
• During Pregnancy: Collagen supports overall protein intake as the body adapts to the growing demands of pregnancy.
• Postnatal Recovery: Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones, and your Protein needs stay higher while you recover and if you are breastfeeding.

As always, if you’re pregnant or undergoing treatment, it's best to check with your healthcare provider before introducing new supplements into your routine.

Question 14

How does Fertility Collagen Pro work?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is a structural protein that plays a 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 the main structural Protein in skin, bones and connective tissue.

Question 15

Is Fertility Collagen Pro suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Accepted Answer

No. Fertility Collagen Pro is 100% bovine Collagen peptides from grass-fed EU cattle, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If you follow a plant-based diet, foods such as beans, lentils, tofu and quinoa can help you meet your Protein needs.
