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.

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.

Should I continue taking the products after embryo transfer?

After embryo transfer you should stop the Vitafem Boost 1, Kaneka Ubiquinol and Inositol & Folate (unless you are at high risk of gestational diabetes). Vitafem, Vital DHA, Femceive, Vitamin D spray and Psyllium Husk can be continued until you run out and should you get a positive result, you can move onto our Newly Pregnant Trimester 1 pack .

Ultimate Female IVF Support Pack

£157.90 Save £45.84

Our Ultimate IVF Support Pack contains everything we would recommend for women going through IVF including essential multivitamins, minerals, essential fats, friendly bacteria, CoQ10, myo-inositol and Vitamin D.

Working in the field of IVF, one of the questions we're most often asked is about egg quality. 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.

Our ultimate selection of supplements to support IVF
Designed specifically for women
One month's supply (Vitamin D 3 months' supply)

Psyllium Husk

Vitafem

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

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.

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.
