The NHS recommends taking a vitamin D and folic acid supplement throughout fertility and pregnancy.
This pack contains our Vitamin D Spray and our Folate supplement. Folate is the active and more easily absorbed form of folic acid.
Recommended by the NHS throughout fertility and pregnancy.
Vitamin D levels can be considered key to egg development, especially for women going through IVF. Our Vitamin D spray is a high dose, daily spray in the form of D3 which is able to more effectively raise vitamin D levels.

Folate is the natural, active form found in foods such as leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits and beans.
Before folic acid can be utilised by the body it must be converted to folate. The conversion of folic acid to folate is dependent on an enzyme called MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase). It is estimated that 40-60% of the population have a mutation in their gene which lowers the amount of MTHFR, meaning they have a reduced capacity to transform folic acid into the active form.
We use Quatrefolic in our supplements containing folate. It is the active form of folate, readily available for transport and use in the human body and tissues. Quatrefolic doesn’t require conversation by the enzyme MTHFR and therefore, can effectively raise folate levels in all individuals.
While some vitamin D can be obtained through sunlight exposure and dietary sources, many people may not get enough through these methods alone. Therefore, taking a vitamin D supplement can be an effective way to ensure adequate levels and support overall reproductive health and foetal development, and is recommended by the NHS.
A folic acid supplement is recommended as it reduces the risk of neural tube defects throughout preconception & pregnancy. We recommend folate, which is more readily absorbed and utilised by the body. Our folate is Quatrefolic®, which is an active and natural form that ensures greater absorption.
Because folate is more easily used by the body and doesn't require the same conversion process as folic acid, it is often recommended as the preferred option, particularly for those who have difficulty converting folic acid into its active form.
Research suggests that Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to infertility and pregnancy complications. Adequate levels may improve fertility outcomes and support a healthy pregnancy.
Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining calcium and phosphorus balance, supporting immune system health, and aiding in cell division. During pregnancy, adequate Vitamin D levels can support foetal development and reduce the risk of pregnancy complications.
The NHS recommends taking a supplement of 400iu per day. Our Vitamin D Spray delivers 1000iu (25ug) per spray, which is considered safe and effective for throughout pregnancy.
It is recommended to take 400μg folic acid per day during fertility and pregnancy. Our Folate supplement contains 400μg folate per capsule.
We recommend taking our Folate supplement and Vitamin D spray at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive or starting fertility treatment.
