Fertilovit^® F 35 plus is a food supplement specifically designed to meet the requirements of women over 35 who wish to conceive. It prepares your body for healthy conception and early pregnancy.

 

Fertilovit^® F 35 plus promotes reproductive wellness by providing complete preconceptional vitamin, antioxidant and mitochondrial health support.

The importance of a sufficient supply with certain vitamins and minerals has long been acknowledged. Every gynecologist recommends taking folic acid, particularly because of its protective role in the early embryo’s neurological development. More and more it becomes evident that other vitamins and minerals, too, can have a major impact on fertility. Scientific studies have shown that iron as well as B-vitamins are important for healthy conception.

Antioxidants on the other hand are vital to protect from the detrimental effects of oxidative stress. Women over 35 benefit by taking supplements promoting mitochondrial health such as coenzyme Q10.

 

 

 

The term oxidative stress refers to the impairment of body cells by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Normally the ROS produced in the body are defanged by the body’s protective antioxidant system. However, if there are too many ROS or too few antioxidants, this delicate balance can collapse and body cells are damaged. Oocytes are particularly susceptible to attacks by reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress can impair the membrane and interfere with protein synthesis as well as energy production.

This compromises oocyte quality and is detrimental to embryonic development. Experts have also associated problems throughout later pregnancy with oxidative stress. Additionally oxidative stress is thought to be involved in age-related fertility decline. Living in a time in which professional demands force women to delay their desire for children, this finding is particularly important.

 

 

 

Women have to face a slight decrease of fertility from 35. The same oocytes a woman has today have already been present by the time of her birth, which means they have the same age as her and may start feeling the first signs of increasing age: Egg cell quality starts to decline. Experts ascribe this to an accumulation of age-related damage within an cell organell of utmost importance: The mitochondrium. This is the cell’s own power plant, the place for energy production within the cell. Understandably enough there is no other cell in the body with as many mitochondria as an oocyte.

If the amount of damage to these mitochondria exceeds a yet undefined threshold, they might not be capable to cover the immense energy needs of an oocyte any more. Consequences include problems with cell division and proliferation which may affect the early steps of embryonic development. This is why experts recommend that women over 35 take a supplement that promotes mitochondrial health and function such as coenzyme Q10.

 

Taking into account these latest findings,  the preconceptional supplement Fertilovit^® F 35 plus has been designed. In addition to folic acid and a wide variety of important vitamins and minerals it also contains coenzyme Q10 for mitochondrial health as well as ample antioxidants. For maximal protection around the clock, vitamin C, one of the body’s major antioxidants, is released in sustained fashion.
