Episode 146: Top 5 Fertility-Boosting Supplements for Women with Endometriosis

About this episode

The episode discusses five key supplements that can support fertility in women with endometriosis and their importance in reproductive health.

If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice. In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health. You’ll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients. I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles. This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach. 🎧 If you’re currently taking a prenatal multivitamin, I also recommend listening to episode 115, where I explain why the type of folate you take matters more than you may…
