Safety Profile
Egg quality is key - determined by mitochondrial function and oxidative stress. Eggs matured 90-120 days before ovulation (why preconception period needed). CoQ10 (ubiquinol form) most evidence-based supplement for egg quality - improves mitochondrial function. Inositol benefits for all women, especially PCOS. Methylated folate crucial (40-60% have MTHFR polymorphism reducing folic acid metabolism). Vitamin D deficiency associated with infertility, miscarriage. Acupuncture has meta-analysis support for IVF (improves implantation). Thyroid crucial - TSH <2.5 optimal for fertility (mainstream often allows <4.5). Age is factor but egg quality modifiable. Reduce oxidative stress (antioxidants, reduce toxins, stress). Environmental toxins (BPA, phthalates, pesticides) impair fertility - organic food, filter water, non-toxic products. Men account for 50% of infertility - partner should do male protocol. This protocol supports natural conception or improves IVF outcomes.
