Myo-inositol plays a physiological role in gametogenesis and embryonic development. In humans, it has an impact on the success of assisted reproduction. Its effect has been studied many times for its involvement in metabolic syndrome and in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS is one of the most common female endocrine disorders, which is associated with insulin resistance).

The results of recent studies strongly suggest that inositol supplementation may be associated with successful treatment of PCOS patients undergoing assisted reproduction.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are essential fatty acids that the human body cannot produce on its own and therefore must be obtained from the diet. In pregnant women, they are essential for the neurological development of the fetus. However, studies have shown that they may also be important for the correct timing of pregnancy and the appropriate birth weight of the baby.

The source of DHA and EPA for our products is algae oil. Seaweed is considered the primary source of omega-3. Global fish stocks are declining and cannot be a sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids. Algae grow very quickly and do not contribute to overfishing, making them a more sustainable source of omega-3 than fish oil, which also carries the risk of chemical contaminants (e.g. mercury) that can be harmful to consumers (source)

L-carnitine acts as a cofactor for the transport of long-chain fatty acids in mitochondria, facilitating oxidative processes and increasing cellular energy production. In supporting male fertility, it improves sperm motility and reduces ROS (reactive oxygen species) levels in semen.

Apples, blueberries, and blackcurrants support the antioxidant properties of breast milk.

Breast milk has antioxidant properties that are important as a protective mechanism against infections and diseases. The balance between the concentrations of ROS (reactive oxygen species, the accumulation of which in cells is undesirable) and antioxidants is important for the healthy stable state of infants.

Choline is an essential nutrient for the proper function of the liver, muscles, brain, lipid metabolism and the composition of cell membranes. Since the human body can only produce small amounts of choline, it must be consumed through food.

Pregnancy and lactation are periods when the need for choline is particularly high. A large amount is supplied to the fetus via the placenta. Plasma or serum concentrations of choline are significantly higher in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women. However, after delivery, the need for choline is even higher because breast milk contains relatively high amounts of it.

Outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, for example, plasma homocysteine ​​levels increase when choline supplies are inadequate. Elevated homocysteine ​​levels are associated with a higher risk of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, cognitive decline, and fractures. Choline intake is associated with lower homocysteine ​​levels.

Choline is found in many foods (liver, eggs), yet a large portion of the adult population is deficient in it.

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group. It is a substance that is essential for the formation of nucleic acids, in hematopoiesis and has an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of the fetus. It plays a role in the process of cell division, supplying tissues with nutrients and oxygen and maintaining healthy blood vessels of the mother and fetus. According to studies, sufficient active form of folic acid in the body during pregnancy can prevent spinal cord defects, insufficient nutrition and development of the fetus or improper blood supply to the placenta.

Folic acid must be converted into an active form after entering the body, which is ensured by the MTHFR enzyme. Women who suffer from a gene mutation for this enzyme may have problems conceiving or carrying a baby to term. In our products, folic acid is contained in an already active methylated form, which means that it does not have to be activated after entering the body and the woman has an effective form of the vitamin available.

The form and amount of folic acid contained in Verra Fertility & Pregnancy Complex fully ensures sufficient intake for both the woman and the fetus throughout pregnancy.

Low vitamin D levels are associated with a 13x higher likelihood of irregular cycles and may be linked to the occurrence of unpleasant symptoms. Vitamin D supplementation may appear as a potential treatment for PMS symptoms.

Vitamin E can help with unpleasant PMS symptoms such as breast pain, sugar cravings, irritability, and anxiety.

Studies have shown that many women suffering from PMS can experience relief from taking magnesium. Women have reported improvements in PMS-related symptoms such as mood swings, fluid retention, bloating, and more.

Zinc helps regulate primary dysmenorrhea, which is characterized by pain or other symptoms such as nausea, headache, etc. This type of dysmenorrhea occurs mainly in women who have not yet given birth.

Supplementing iron levels is crucial during menstruation due to blood loss and the potential development of anemia. Iron increases hemoglobin concentrations in the blood, thereby reducing fatigue and exhaustion.

According to a study, folic acid harmonizes the length of the cycle. American gynecologists recommend taking folic acid to every woman of reproductive age. This ensures sufficient levels of this micronutrient for future conception.
