Whether you're trying to conceive at home or preparing for an egg retrieval, ensuring that you’re nourishing your body with the proper nutrients — and the right amounts of them — is essential to promoting egg quality while also supporting healthy ovarian function. Since the vast majority of us don't get what we need from diet alone, fertility supplements can be especially useful. Some of the top nutrients to consider include folate, vitamin B12, vitamins C, D, and E, zinc, selenium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids, which can typically be found in prenatal multivitamin supplements. But there are also more advanced, research-backed formulas available on the market.
Eu Natural has meticulously crafted, botanical-powered supplements that are specifically tailored to support women through the preconception, conception, and postnatal stages. They even have specially crafted supplements for men, which allow both you and your male partner to balance and nurture your reproductive systems on the road to parenthood.

So, what supplements are most important for fertility?
Let's take a look at some of the ingredients found in Eu Natural’s supplements, formulated to promote fertility and egg quality, which may provide the support you're looking for on your TTC journey.
Myo-Inositol
In recent years, researchers have investigated several molecules as promoters of fertility. One of these is myo-inositol (myo-ins), a natural carbocyclic sugar found in the ovaries (and other mammalian tissues). According to the National Library of Medicine, myo-ins represents a safe compound that proved useful in fertility and pregnancy, as it participates in several signaling processes, such as the pathways of insulin and gonadotropins, likely positively affecting fertility.

Eu Natural supplements contain myo-inositol to help balance your system by naturally raising chances of fertility through improving how your body uses insulin. It supports ovarian health and promotes balanced cycles, hormones, and egg quality.
D-Chiro-Inositol
In addition to myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol is another molecule found to promote female fertility and sustain physiological pregnancy. While myo-ins is the most abundant inositol isomer in mammals, commonly found in almost every tissue — brain, blood, fat, kidney, lung, ovaries, and testes — D-chiro-ins is the second most represented isomer, as it is detected in almost all the same tissues as myo-ins and also helps improve insulin transduction. D-chiro-inositol supports myo-ins to boost your ovarian function even more, especially in the optimal 40:1 ratio included in Eu Natural's supplements.
Chaste Tree Berry Extract
Chaste tree berry extract, which also goes by Vitex or Vitex agnus-castus, has traditionally been used to promote female fertility. Studies have shown it can help balance reproductive hormones, such as progesterone and prolactin. Research has also shown that supplementation with Chaste tree extract shows promise in supporting fertility and conception, primarily through its effects on hormonal balance and menstrual regularity.
Shatavari
Shatavari, known as the “Queen of herbs,” has a long history of use in the Ayurveda system to promote female fertility, vitality, and reproductive health. According to the two main Ayurvedic texts, Charak Samhita by Charak and Ashtang Hridyam by Vagbhata, shatavari is highly beneficial for the female reproductive system. In addition to its long history of use, Shatavari is frequently touted for its potential benefits in enhancing fertility, improving egg quality, and aiding in conception. For all of these reasons, Eu Natural includes chase tree berry extract and shatavari in their supplements for women trying to conceive or preparing for an egg retrieval.
Bioactive B Vitamins, such as Methlyfolate and Methylcobalamin
Perhaps most importantly, you will find that Eu Natural’s Conception supplements are boosted with easily absorbed forms of key vitamins that are important for specific detoxification pathways that tend to be disrupted in many women who struggle to get pregnant, such as bioactive B vitamins like Methylfolate and Methylcobalamin.
Prepare your body as best you can!
When it comes to taking supplements for TTC, egg freezing, or IVF, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider first and foremost. Ask your provider about Eu Natural's Conception For Her supplements, which thoughtfully combine trusted vitamins and minerals with clean botanical blends and myo- and D-chiro inositols, and are designed to aid fertility wherever you are in the process. Best of luck!
