Fertility Nutrition — How to Naturally Boost Egg and Sperm Health

Published by Anushka Gokani, Mom & Baby Functional Nutrition Coach

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or prepping for IVF/IUI, nutrition plays a major role in egg and sperm quality — especially for those preparing for twins/multiples.

Top Evidence-Based Fertility Nutrients:

🌿 CoQ10 (Ubiquinol form): Enhances egg quality, particularly after age 35 (Fertility & Sterility, 2018)

🌿 Omega-3 DHA: Supports ovarian function and embryo development

🌿 Vitamin D: Deficiency linked to ovulatory infertility and low implantation rates (J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2019)

🌿 Folate (Methylated form): Reduces risk of neural tube defects and supports cell division

🌿 Zinc & Selenium: Vital for sperm motility and reducing DNA fragmentation

PCOS & Fertility:

For women with PCOS, an anti-inflammatory, low glycemic diet helps improve insulin resistance and ovulation.

Pro Tip: Nutrient levels influence not just conception but also the future health of your baby (epigenetics). Preconception is the perfect window for nutritional tuning.
