10 Must Have Herbs + Supplements When TTC

When you’re in the world of TTC, it can be overwhelming to keep track of all.the.things. From tracking ovulation, to monitoring your body temperature to searching for the right prenatal to take, it can feel daunting to search for anything in the ttc world without being overloaded with information. 

Lucky for you, we’ve put together a short list of our top 10 herbs and supplements to take when you’re trying to conceive in order to boost your fertility, calm the nervous system and generally, prime your body so that you can get pregnant. 

1. The Fertility Kit aka the one stop shop of our absolute favorite products to make a baby.

This kit includes Active CoQ-10 by Magnolia Wellness, Ultimate Prenatal by Magnolia Wellness, Soulshine Ovary Elixir, a seasonal candle and a palo santo bundle. We love this kit because it contains everything you need to boost your fertility and get pregnant easier. 

2. Reishi mushroom, an adaptogen that regulates the HPA (Hypo-Thalamic-Adrenal) axis.

Adaptogens decrease stress levels and provide nourishment to the organs. Reishi is particularly fantastic for fertility because it’s anti-inflammatory, improves endocrine functionality and is a natural hormone balancer.

3. Ultimate Prenatal by Magnolia Wellness is our go-to prenatal supplement for pregnant women, lactating women, and women wishing to become pregnant.

This prenatal multivitamin provides folate in the bioidentical, bioactive form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5MTHF) in place of synthetic folic acid. L-5MTHF is the active circulating form of folate found in the body and one of the several forms found in food. The minerals contained in Ultimate Prenatal provide superior absorption compared to those found in standard prenatal vitamins.

4. Thyroid Rescue by Magnolia Wellness improves thyroid health, reduces inflammation and supports cellular sensitivity to thyroid hormones.

Another bonus? This supplement supports the conversion of T4 hormones to T3 hormones. Because lower levels of thyroid function can interfere with the release of an egg from your ovary (also known as ovulation) the thyroid can severely impact your fertility. If you’re concerned about your thyroid levels - we suggest a visit with our Naturopath to comprehensively review your bloodwork.

5. Four Things Combination by Dragon Herbs is perfect to build blood and increase circulation in the pelvis.

This herb tonifies the blood, helps regulate menstruation, and promotes blood circulation. As if that wasn’t enough, this combination promotes relaxation and even provides cramping relief when you’re menstruating.

6. Hormone Balance by Magnolia Wellness is superb for regulating your menstrual cycle.

It promotes progesterone to estrogen balance and supports normal prolactin and testosterone levels. 

7. Active CoQ-10 by Magnolia Wellness supports cellular energy production and cardiovascular health which is an important precursor to fertility.

It boosts energy levels, supports immune health and benefits bone metabolism.

8. Chaste Tree Berry is a natural progesterone that balances hormones and establishes luteal phase support.

This extract works by naturally modulating progesterone levels, which promotes regular ovulation and more balanced hormone levels. 

9. Soulshine Ovary Elixir was created to support ovulation and fertility.

This tincture improves ovarian function, improves the quality of the oocyte, scavengers free radicals which increases DNA synthesis in reproductive tissue, stimulates the pituitary gland to improve ovulation, promotes microcirculation to reproductive organ, is anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic.

10. Goji Berries are a powerful superfood snack and smoothie topper.

These antioxidant berries build blood, boost sex drive, enhance your mood and nourish the Kidney Yang.
