Fertility supplements for women

Andrew Huberman provides several recommendations for fertility supplements for women. Here are some key supplements and their benefits:

1. Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol: These compounds are often recommended for women, particularly those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), as they help balance androgens. The typical dosage for myo-inositol is 1 to 5 grams, with D-chiro inositol taken at 1/25 to 1/40 of the myo-inositol dosage. These supplements may help even those without PCOS by balancing hormones beneficially 1.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Recommended for optimizing egg and sperm quality, omega-3s can be sourced from fatty fish or supplements. It’s advised to obtain at least 1 gram per day of EPA form, which might require reading labels carefully to achieve the desired dosage 1.

3. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This is suggested for enhancing egg and sperm quality, with recommended dosages ranging from 100 to 400 milligrams per day. CoQ10 supports mitochondrial health, which is vital for egg and sperm formation and fertilization 2.

4. Shilajit: Known to improve egg quality, sperm quality, and libido, Shilajit is also highlighted for its potential fertility benefits. It's typically taken in doses of about 250 milligrams twice per day but should be used cautiously by women due to its effects on hormonal cycles 3.
