Supplements To Support Egg Freezing

When should I start taking supplements before egg freezing?

Ideally three months before your cycle. Eggs mature over the 90 day egg maturation window, so starting early gives the nutrients time to support the eggs that will be collected. Our egg freezing guide explains the process in more detail.

Which supplements are recommended before egg freezing?

Most women start with Vitafem and add Kaneka Ubiquinol CoQ10 to support egg quality, Vital DHA for Omega-3 and Vitafem Boost for antioxidant support. The Ultimate Egg Health Pack combines these with Inositol and Folate, Femceive and Psyllium Husk.

Is CoQ10 worth taking before egg freezing?

CoQ10 plays a role in cellular energy production, which is particularly relevant to developing eggs, and natural levels decline with age. We use Kaneka Ubiquinol, the active and more readily absorbed form of CoQ10. Read more about CoQ10 and fertility.

Does age affect egg freezing?

Yes. Egg quality and the number of eggs collected both tend to decline with age, particularly from the mid 30s, which is why many women consider freezing earlier. The good news is that there are things you can do to support the quality of your eggs at any age. Eggs mature over around 90 days, so good nutrition, sleep, managing stress and targeted supplements such as Vitafem and Kaneka Ubiquinol CoQ10 in the months before your cycle can all help support the eggs that are collected. Our article on egg freezing and age looks at this in more detail.

Should I keep taking supplements during stimulation?

Most women continue their supplements through stimulation, but always check with your clinic, as protocols vary. It is also worth avoiding high-intensity exercise during stimulation, as some soreness is common and gentle movement tends to feel more comfortable.
