Age and Fertility: 4 Supplements to Support Healthy Eggs

Ever feel like your eggs always get the blame?

 From unexplained infertility to poor fertilisation, more often than not it unfairly falls back on the egg.
And the eggs have a pretty tough job.

1. Fertilisation
2. Implantation into the uterine lining.
3. And eggs fix all damaged DNA from poor quality sperm.

There's so much they need to do!

You're not alone if you've decided to have children later.
I understand why too.
You want to achieve certain things before settling down.
Career, travel…financial stability?

Or maybe you didn't meet your partner until later in life.

There's nothing wrong with that.
Our biology on the other hand is less forgiving.

These days, everywhere you look there are reminders that egg quality declines after 35.

35 years old is the line in the sand when doctors say things like:

"you're not getting any younger"

But I'm going to let you in on a secret.

Your egg quality doesn't plummet down a cliff face on your 35th birthday!

Here's the truth. 

Your eggs contain instructions for making a baby.

When eggs are younger they've got more energy. It's easier for them to read the instructions.
As your eggs age, they make more mistakes reading the instructions.
Resulting in a higher chance of a genetic abnormality.

Pregnancy success relies heavily on egg quality and egg age.

That's true if you are trying naturally or doing IVF.
But it's not all about the egg.
Having a baby is a team sport.

Your unexplained infertility or poor embryo fertilisation in IVF; might not just be about your eggs.

It could be all about the sperm.
But likely it's a combination of both egg and sperm quality.

All said and done, your eggs must work much harder when sperm quality isn't great.

Improving your egg quality as much as you can is important for this reason.

Here's what you need to know.

And I'll be completely honest with you.

If egg quality is poor due to age then it's hard to make them better with supplements.
The biggest influence on pregnancy is the quality of the eggs you're born with.

There is still hope!

Can you get better quality eggs?
Absolutely!!!
But keep your expectations realistic.

Avoid getting suckered in by "experts" promising drastic improvement in age related egg quality.

The real truth is max improvement of 10-15%.

Don't panic!
That's not so bad, even if it doesn't seem like it.
10% improvement in fertility can produce a 100% real baby.
Even a smaller percentage can be all it takes to have a successful pregnancy.

And I've seen it in my clinic hundreds of times.
No exaggeration!

4 of my favourite supplements to improve the quality of eggs over 35 years old.

• CoQ10 (Ubiquional form)
• Nicotinamide Riboside (also knowns as NMN)
• Omega 3 Fatty acids
• Alpha lipoic acid

These supplements specifically improve your egg quality over the age of 35, improve the structure of your eggs and your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Taking these supplements at least 3 months before trying to conceive gives you the best chance.

The secret sauce is (lean in close - this will save you time and money)... buying the best quality supplements you have access to.
Then make sure you are taking a therapeutic dose.

So many women take all the right supplements.
Just not enough of it to make a difference.
And that breaks my heart.

Supplements make up one piece of the egg quality puzzle.
Your lifestyle plays a big role too.
