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 you are 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 pack 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 and CoQ10 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.

The Frozen Embryo Transfer Pack

£131.20 Save £38.09

When preparing for a Frozen Embryo Transfer, the nutrient needs are different, as the embryo has already been created, so the focus is on implantation rather than egg and sperm health. Nutrients such as Vitamin E, Selenium and Manganese support implantation, and CoQ10 has been demonstrated to help increase endometrial thickness. There has also been research to suggest that a higher fibre intake is linked with improved implantation rates.

This pack contains all of the supplements and nutrients we would recommend for women who are preparing for a Frozen Embryo Transfer.

Femceive

Femceive is a fertilityfriendly 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.

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.

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.
