Fertility Supplements: What You Actually Need, What You Might Not, and How to Stop the Overwhelm

Welcome to the world of fertility supplements… where there are approximately 47 million opinions, a cupboard full of bottles, and somehow still no clear answer about what you’re actually supposed to take. 😅

In this episode, we’re breaking down the world of fertility supplements to help you feel more informed, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to make choices that support your individual journey.

Because when you’re trying to conceive, it’s can feel like you need to take everything. But more supplements don’t always mean better fertility—and what works for one person may not be right for another.

We’re talking about the foundations, the popular extras, and the things worth understanding before you spend another small fortune at the supplement shop.

• The foundations of fertility nutrition: Why the basics matter before you add a dozen different supplements to your routine.
• Folate vs. folic acid: What’s the difference, and why is folate so important when preparing for pregnancy?
• Your B vitamins: Including B12 and the other B vitamins that help support normal bodily functions.
• Vitamins C, D, E and K: What they do and why it’s important to consider your individual needs.
• Iron, zinc, selenium, iodine and choline: Key nutrients to understand when preparing for pregnancy.
• Magnesium decoded: Glycinate, citrate, oxide, malate and chloride—what the different forms are commonly used for, how they can differ, and why the marketing claims don’t always tell the whole story.
• Omega-3s: What to know about these essential fats.
• The popular fertility supplements: CoQ10, ubiquinol, myo-inositol, NAC, glutathione, NAD-related supplements and DHEA—and why they aren’t all interchangeable or appropriate for everyone.
• Probiotics and digestive enzymes: What to consider when it comes to gut health, product quality and viability.
• Supplement timing and absorption: Why how and when you take certain supplements can matter.
• Quality over quantity: How to think about product quality, storage, and whether a supplement is worth taking.
• The supplement audit: How to take a step back, review what you’re using, and avoid supplement overload.

You don’t need to buy every supplement on the internet to be proactive about your fertility.

The aim is to understand your own needs, build a strong nutritional foundation, and make thoughtful choices based on your circumstances—not fear, pressure, or a persuasive Instagram post.

Some supplements may be useful in particular situations, but evidence varies, and supplements are not a substitute for personalised medical advice or fertility care.

You don’t have to figure everything out alone—and you definitely don’t have to start by buying another bottle.

This episode is for educational purposes only not a substitute for individualised medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Supplement needs and appropriate doses vary. Some supplements can interact with medications or fertility treatments, and certain nutrients can be harmful in excessive amounts. If you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, taking medication, undergoing fertility treatment, or managing a medical condition, speak with your qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping or changing supplements.
