I recommend these basic supplements to insure an adequate intake of daily nutrients. Supplements help to support your immune system, reduce inflammation, reduce stress and improve energy.

Multivitamin– to support overall health and help prevent chronic disease such as heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis.

Omegas– to help support positive mental health and maintenance of mood. High EPA have been found to decrease anxiety and significantly improve mood. Supplementing with fish oil decreases inflammation in the body and can help to relieve pain in your joints. Fish oil has been extensively studied for its effects on heart disease and lowering blood pressure in people with mild hypertension, due to its effects on lowering triglycerides in the body.

Vitamin D3 – sufficient levels of Vitamin D are required for optimal health. Vitamin D has a role in the regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in the blood which are important for bone health. Vitamin D also helps to support your immune system. Vitamin D also has an effect on insulin sensitivity and the production of insulin. Studies have shown that Vitamin D can help decrease the incidence of diabetes and adjustment of insulin and glucose.

Magnesium is essential for the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous and musculoskeletal system. Magnesium plays a role in mood stabilization, improving anxiety and depression, migraine headaches, muscle cramps, restless legs and improves sleep quality. Studies have also found magnesium beneficial for PMS.

Probiotics- Help to improve digestion and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal system. A healthy gut is a foundation of health, physically and emotionally.

I recommend Flora SAP if you have vaginal candidiasis or bacterial vaginosis, a 10 day vaginal probiotic treatment. Followed with Probio Sap for a minimum of one month.

Recovery SAP has 50 billion live probiotics and is useful if you are suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, loose stools or constipation, bloating, gas or indigestion and food sensitivities. Recovery is also a good choice post antibiotics. This is a one month protocol to restore the microbiome of the gut.

Probio SAP has 11 billion live probiotic cells to improve digestion and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal system. I recommend a one month protocol, unless you are suffering from digestive symptoms such as indigestion, burping, gas, loose stools or constipation. In this case a longer protocol may be needed.

Fertility , Menstrual Cycle Regulation and Preconception Support for Women

My recommendations to optimize your fertility and prepare for pregnancy. It takes three months for your eggs to mature so it is important to begin as soon as possible to have an influence over your egg quality and your partners sperm health( men need to supplement too)

Prenatal multivitamin with methylfolate to support your body. A daily multivitamin ensures that your body is getting the nutrients it needs to support a healthy menstrual cycle and a healthy pregnancy. It is important to chose a high quality with a methyated form of folic acid as many women are unable to break down the non methylated form of folic acid. Folic acid helps to prevent against birth defects such as spina bifida and other neural tube defects. It also helps to restore ovulation and boost egg quality. It is important to start your prenatal at least three months prior to pregnancy to have an impact on egg quality. A good quality multi viatmi also includes essential minerals and vitamin such as B6 and B12 , zinc, selenium and iodine.

Omegas, essential fatty acids help to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs , increase fertile cervical mucous and help regulate your cycle.

Vitamin D3 is a critical vitamin for overall health. There is new evidence that Vitamin D supplementation may affect the endometrium. A recent meta analysis found that women who were undergoing fertility treatments and had a higher level of Vitamin D had higher live birth rates than women with lower levels. Women who have high levels of Vitamin D are more likely to produce high quality embryos and have a higher implantation rate. Living in Canada it is very hard to get the amount of sunlight that our body needs to make Vitamin D so I recommend that all my patients take a supplement.

Coq10  is necessary for the basic functioning of healthy living cells. Coq10 helps to restore oocyte mitochondrial function. As we age the mitochondria starts to lose energy which has an effect on the quality of the egg. Fetility and Sterility published a study that showing the supplementation of Coq10 in older women improved both egg quality and fertilization rates. Coq10 is also a powerful antioxidant . Coq10 in the form of ubiquoinol is the most easily absorbed by the body, although more expensive you will be able to absorb more of the active ingredient.

Probiotics– Help to improve digestion and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal system. A healthy gut is a foundation of health and imperative for fertility as malabsorption of nutrients will have an impact on egg and hormonal health, and often lead to inflammation in the body. Probiotics are also important to maintain a healthy vaginal flora for sperm.

Flora SAP if you have vaginal candidiasis or bacterial vaginosis for a 10 day vaginal probiotic treatment. It is important that your vaginal flora be healthy in order to create a healthy environment for sperm.

Recovery SAP has 50 billion live probiotics and is useful if you are suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, loose stools or constipation, bloating, gas or indigestion and food sensitivities.

Magnesium plays a role in mood stabilization, improving anxiety and depression, migraine headaches, muscle cramps, restless legs and improves sleep quality.
