Supplements To Support Hormones & Fertility
The supplement world is like the wild west out there. What should you take? What’s worth the money? What companies can you trust?
Today I wanted to give you a list of supplements I think are worth the money and one’s my family and I use regularly to support optimal hormone production and fertility!
Please note, this is for informational purposes only and not medical advice- speak with your doctor or medical professional before making changes!
Organ meats: You can think of these as nature's multivitamin! They are a nutrient powerhouse packed with B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc and vitamin A. If you’re like me and can’t stomach eating them, the desiccated pill version is a nice alternative.
- Desiccated beef liver
- Desiccated organ meats
Minerals: I love adding in additional mineral drinks to meet my daily needs. Out of all that I have tried, these are my favorites!
- Coconut water- can find at most grocery stores. High in potassium.
- Pickleball- Higher in potassium
- Adrenal Cocktail- contains wholefood vitamin C + higher in sodium
- LMNT- higher in sodium
- Iodine: Is crucial for thyroid function. However, this is something that needs labs done first before supplementation.
Cod liver oil: Contains vitamin A, vitamin D, & omega-3 fatty acids. It also helps support how your body uses iron.
Magnesium: There are so many forms of magnesium, but my favorites are glycinate and topical forms. They are pretty well tolerated by most people.
Gi Health: I like to support my digestive system with a mix of bitters to help produce stomach acid production & bile flow, fiber for prebiotics, and a good spore-based probiotic.
- Psyllium husk fiber
- Megasporbioitc
- Digestive Bitters - Urban Moonshine is my favorite! Only the calm tummy bitters are pregnancy safe.
Prenatals: Unfortunately there are a lot of crappy prenatals out there. I’ll dive into this as its own post, but for now, note that the ones listed are the ones I recommend to clients. I know they cost a bit more, but quality does matter!
- Needed - found on fullscript!
- FullWell
Wholefood Vitamin C: If you need a little vitamin C boost, be sure to use a whole food form, not ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid can interfere with copper, whereas wholefood C supports the absorption of copper.
- Pure Synergy
- CamuCamu Powder
Pearl Powder: My go-to source for a wholefood form of calcium. This form will contain the other vitamins and minerals
- Cultivate Elevate
- Crucial Four
I could probably make this list even longer, but wanted to provide some of my most used and recommended supplements. If you’re looking for more information on brands I love, and want a 15% discount on supplements, you can find all that under my supplement dispensary- Fullscript.
