Is Vitafem safe to take alongside a separate Folic Acid supplement?

Vitafem contains the recommended intake of Folic Acid, in the form Folate. This is the readily absorbable form which is more effective at raising your levels. You do not need to take another Folic Acid supplement alongside Vitafem unless you have been advised by your GP.

Can I take the supplements with a hot drink?

We advise waiting 30 minutes after taking our supplements before having a hot drink like tea or coffee. Hot drinks can affect the activity of the bacteria in Femceive and Menceive and tea and coffee can affect the absorption of certain nutrients.

I’ve noticed since starting the supplements that my pee has turned yellow, is this normal?

Yes this is perfectly harmless and is the body getting rid of excess vitamin B2. It is usual to experience this when taking multivitamins that contain B2 so nothing to worry about and it does not mean she is not absorbing the nutrients.

Do I need to take Vitafem and Vitafem Boost?

Yes, the products are designed to be taken together. Vitafem is a multivitamin and mineral containing all the nutrients we recommend for fertility, including the recommended intake of Folic Acid. Vitafem Boost is designed to be taken alongside Vitafem, to further support egg quality. This can be beneficial if you have low AMH, poor diet or lifestyle or are struggling to conceive naturally.

Are the supplements safe to take alongside levothryoxine?

Yes, our supplements are fine to take alongside levothyroxine - there is 150 mcg of iodine in the Vitafem but this is deemed perfectly safe to take alongside. However, we recommend taking Vitafem at least 2 hours away from the thyroxine - preferably 4 hours away.

How long should I take this kit for?

We recommend taking our supplements for at least 3 months before egg transfer however all the supplements in the kit are safe to take for longer than three months. Once you have undergone transfer, you should stop taking Vitafem Boost, CoQ10 and Inositol & Folate (unless you are at risk of gestational diabetes) and continue taking Vitafem, Vital DHA, Femceive, Vitamin D spray and Psyllium Husk. If you should get a positive result you can move onto our Newly Pregnant Trimester 1 Support Pack once your supplements have run out.

This pack contains everything we would recommend for women looking to support their egg health.

While a woman is born with all the eggs she is ever going to possess and these are genetically determined, we believe that the environment in which those eggs are growing and maturing is affected by factors including lifestyle and nutrition, and that the right kind of supplemental support may help improve the chances of a successful outcome.

Please note - as our Vitamin D Spray is a 3 month supply, you can choose your pack with or without this product below.

Ingredients

Vitafem

Contains an array of vitamins and minerals which have been researched to support egg quality and hormonal balance. Including 400µg of folic acid in the active form folate for the body to use.

Femceive

Femceive is a fertility friendly bacteria supplement that has been specifically formulated to achieve a balanced endometrial-vaginal microbiota and prepare the optimal environment for preconception.

Each pot contains 34 capsules which has been specifically formulated to cover an entire fertility cycle.

Vital DHA

Contains Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), plus a small amount of Zinc. It has been designed to help protect both partners’ DNA from oxidative damage during preconception as well as to support normal fertility and healthy sperm production.

Vitamin D Spray

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.

Psyllium Husk Capsules

A type of fibre that helps to naturally increase fibre intake to support fertility. Fibre plays a vital role in feeding our friendly bacteria that can help support the action of both Femceive and Menceive.

Vitafem Boost

Vitafem Boost 1 contains antioxidants which neutralise damaging substances called ‘free radicals’, which have been linked to poor egg quality. Antioxidants are also involved in healthy immune function, which is necessary for the fertilised egg to implant.

Inositol and Folate

Myo-inositol is found in virtually every tissue in our body and is involved in several processes. It plays a significant role in various processes associated with reproduction including gametes development, oocyte maturation, reproduction andfoetaldevelopment. Studies have shown that myo-inositol can improve reproductive outcomes in both men and women.

Kaneka CoQ10

The development of eggs and sperm requires large amounts of energy and Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a critical ingredient in its production.

Kaneka Ubiquinol™ is one of the world’s most recognised and researched CoQ10 ingredients, naturally produced by yeast fermentation.
