Nutrients important for women's preconception

Trying to conceive? Whether it’s on your radar now or sometime in the near future, nourishing your body before pregnancy can make a powerful difference—for both fertility and a healthy future pregnancy.

Preconception care is more than just taking folic acid. It’s about laying a strong foundation with targeted nutrients that support hormone balance, egg quality, and a healthy uterine environment.

Folate (the active form of folic acid) is essential for DNA synthesis and preventing neural tube defects.

Vitamin B6 helps regulate hormones and supports progesterone production.

Vitamin C & E are antioxidants that protect eggs from oxidative stress and support healthy cervical mucus.

Magnesium calms the nervous system, supports hormone detoxification, and helps regulate blood sugar—crucial for hormonal balance.

Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and support egg health, implantation, and hormone production.

Selenium supports thyroid function (often overlooked in fertility) and protects reproductive tissues.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a superstar for improving egg quality and mitochondrial function, especially for those over 30.

It takes around three months for an egg to mature before ovulation—so the choices you make today shape your fertility in the months ahead. ✨

Whether you’re actively trying or simply preparing your body for the future, these nutrients are a beautiful place to start. Because preconception is a season of preparation, not pressure—and you deserve to enter it feeling informed, nourished, and empowered.
