What supplements should you take when trying to conceive?

The supplements with the strongest support behind them for trying to conceive are folic acid, a broad-spectrum fertility multivitamin, and, for some women, myo-inositol.^† A layered approach, rather than a single pill, tends to work best.

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or while managing a medical condition.

Start with folic acid

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes that most prenatal multivitamins contain adequate folic acid for average-risk women, and that prenatal vitamin use is associated with a lower risk of miscarriage. This is why many women start a preconception routine with a comprehensive prenatal rather than folic acid alone.

A broad-spectrum fertility multivitamin

Premium Fertility Gummies, with 13 fertility-focused nutrients, combines myo-inositol, CoQ10, selenium, vitamins B6 and B12, and methylated folate in a single daily gummy, designed to support reproductive wellness while trying to conceive.^†

Where myo-inositol fits

Myo-inositol has been studied for its role in supporting ovarian hormone signaling and cycle regularity. Research on specific inositol ratios has found that a 40:1 myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol combination most closely mirrors the body's natural plasma balance, according to a review published in Gynecological Endocrinology.^† Myo Chiro 40:1, a fertility-focused hormone support formula, is built around this specific ratio.^†

CoQ10 and egg quality

CoQ10 is included in Premium Fertility Gummies for its role in supporting mitochondrial energy production in eggs and ovarian reserve.^† A randomized controlled trial published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology found that CoQ10 pretreatment improved ovarian response and embryo quality in young women with diminished ovarian reserve undergoing fertility treatment, though this research was conducted in a specific clinical population and shouldn't be read as a guarantee for every woman trying to conceive.

"When it comes to preparing your body for pregnancy, the goal isn't a single magic ingredient. It's giving your body a genuinely full toolkit, nutritionally and otherwise, and then being patient with the process." — Amy Suzanne Upchurch, Founder and CEO of Pink Stork

Layering in cycle support

For women who want additional cycle support alongside their multivitamin, our organic fertility tea with vitex and red raspberry leaf is formulated with botanicals traditionally used to support hormonal health and cycle regularity.^† This is not for use during pregnancy, so it's specifically a preconception-phase addition.

Frequently asked questions

What is the single most important supplement when trying to conceive?

Folic acid is consistently emphasized first because of its role in preventing neural tube defects, but a comprehensive approach tends to work better than any single nutrient alone.

Do I need myo-inositol if I have regular cycles?

Not necessarily. Myo-inositol research has generally focused on women with cycle irregularities. Talk with your provider about whether it's relevant to your situation.

Is CoQ10 helpful for every woman trying to conceive?

Research has mostly focused on women with diminished ovarian reserve or those undergoing fertility treatment, so its relevance may vary by individual circumstances.

Can I take fertility tea and fertility gummies at the same time?

Many women layer both. Talk with your healthcare provider about your specific routine and any other supplements or medications you take.

How long before trying to conceive should I start these supplements?

Many providers recommend starting a folic acid-containing supplement at least three months before trying to conceive, when possible.
