The consumption of fertility vitamins give a lot of benefits for you and your partner. Fertility supplements usually contain the following – vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium and magnesium.

If you are trying to conceive here are some of the most common fertility vitamins that can help.

Females

• Prenatal Vitamins

It’s recommended to take prenatal vitamins about 3 months before even considering to get pregnant. Prenatal vitamins can greatly improve the health of the entire pregnancy but do not ensure a successful attempt at pregnancy. Accoriding to studies, women who took prenatal vitamins before conception had lower risks of getting preeclampsia which is a life threatening pregnancy complication.

• Omega-3 Supplements

These fertility vitamins contain essential fatty acids and oils that you will need in order to keep your nerves and your immune system healthy. Our bodies do not produce these fatty acids and oils naturally, so if you do not take in considerable amounts in your diet, you will be at risk for depression, heart diseases and so on.

Men

The main option for men is to take generic fertility vitamins to boost their fertility. Men’s fertility supplements usually contain the following vitamins:

• Folic Acid

The testicles use this acid to make DNA during the production of sperm. Studies reveal that even fertile men can have improved sperm production by taking adequate amounts of folic acid daily.

• Lycopene

Lycopene has a protective property to the male testicles. If a man has low levels of lycopene he risks being infertile and is also at risk of getting prostate cancer. Tomoates are a great source of lycopene. If tomoatoes are not part of a man’s diet then he needs to consider taking a daily dose of lycopene supplements to protect the sperm from damage.
