Vitamins needed by couples trying to conceive

When couples are trying to conceive it's best to take certain vitamins with key nutrients that increases fertility such as:
Folic Acid - It has fertility benefits for both men and women. In men it increases the quality and amount of sperm. In women it increases the chance of pregnancy by promoting ovulation. Folic Acid is the most important vitamin supplement that should be taken by couples who are trying to conceive.

Taking Folic Acid as a prenatal vitamin with the recommended 400mcg-600mcg before and 600mcg-800 mcg during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects. It should be taken daily along with healthy food.

 

This reminds me of the specialist who prescribed vitamins for me. She said that the vitamins would help me increase my sperm count. I remember her words that we might be shooting blanks which means the problem is in me and not in my wife. Unfortunately the problem of conceiving is due to the hyperactive ovaries of my wife that when she takes fertility pills the ovary produces cysts which could be dangerous when it burst.

 

Folic acid is number one needed for a woman who is expecting a baby. And also calcium is one of the vitamins, which is needed.

It builds a strong bones for the expectant mothers. However, there are two types of calcium. One is calcium citrate and the other one is calcium carbonete

 

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know that before I read this.

 

Also, Zinc is very important for both men and women: in men, for semen and testosterone production, and in women for ovulation and fertility. So zinc-rich foods like whole grains, crab and lobster,
beans and dairy products are highly recommended.

 

it appears to me that vitamin c has a role to play as well

 

Yes, both vitamin c and Zinc play the same role: improves the production of sperm.

 

Thats for the male, but for women its important too for the ovulation

 

The most popular food here to help in conceiving are seafood items particularly the shellfish - squid, crabs, mussels and oysters. They are the specialty of one restaurant that they say are being patronized by couples wanting to have children. I don't know the scientific reasons for that but it looks like there is logic since seafood is rich in calcium.
