We’re digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements.
Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed.
You may think you’re saving money by getting your supplements on Amazon, but it is essential to prioritize safety and quality over convenience or price.
Many supplements can actually harm our fertility.
They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives.
Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede the chances of pregnancy success.
So, what are the foundational supplements for fertility, and how do we select the right product for us?
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Foundational supplements to enhance both male and female fertility
- Which supplement helps with egg quality, reduces the risk of early miscarriage and helps with the production of healthy sperm
- Supplements that help with sperm quality and motility
- How this supplement can balance estrogen for women and testosterone for men - plus increase libido for both sexes
