Prenatal with Methylfolate (800-1,600 mcg methylfolate daily)
Supports egg quality and early neural tube development. Methylfolate is the bioavailable form your body actually uses. Folic acid requires conversion that many women cannot do efficiently.
Fish Oil / Cod Liver Oil (2-3 grams daily)
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) support egg cell membrane integrity, reduce inflammation, and prime your body for healthy implantation.
CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) (400-600 mg daily)
Fuels the mitochondria in your eggs. Egg maturation is one of the most energy-intensive processes in the body, and CoQ10 levels decline with age.
Vitamin D (2,000-4,000 IU daily (dose to blood level))
Supports hormone balance, ovulation, and implantation. Low vitamin D is linked to reduced fertility in multiple studies.
Choline (500-600 mg daily)
Critical for early brain development and neural tube closure. Most prenatals contain little to no choline, and eggs are the best food source (about 150 mg per egg).
Magnesium Glycinate (300-400 mg daily)
Supports progesterone production, calms the nervous system, and improves sleep quality. Stress and magnesium depletion often go hand in hand.
Probiotic (Daily, soil-based with prebiotics preferred)
Gut health directly affects nutrient absorption and inflammation levels. A healthy microbiome supports hormone metabolism and immune balance.
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) (600-1,200 mg daily)
A powerful antioxidant that supports detoxification and protects eggs from oxidative damage. Especially helpful for PCOS and endometriosis.
Zinc (30-50 mg daily)
Essential for testosterone production and healthy sperm development. Zinc deficiency is one of the most common nutritional factors in male subfertility.
CoQ10 (200-400 mg daily)
Supports sperm motility and protects sperm cells from oxidative damage. Sperm are especially vulnerable to free radical damage.
Folate (Methylfolate) (400-800 mcg daily)
Supports sperm DNA integrity. Low folate in men is associated with higher rates of chromosomal abnormalities in sperm.
Omega-3 Fish Oil (1-2 grams daily)
DHA is a key structural component of sperm cell membranes. Adequate omega-3 intake supports sperm count and morphology.
Vitamin C and E (500 mg C + 400 IU E daily)
Antioxidant duo that protects sperm from oxidative stress. Vitamin C in seminal fluid directly shields sperm DNA.
Always consult your healthcare provider before starting supplements.
Ideally 3 to 6 months before you start trying. It takes about 100 days for an egg to fully mature, so the food you eat today influences the egg you ovulate three months from now. Starting early gives your body time to build nutrient stores and reduce inflammation.
The Egg Quality Diet is a fertility nutrition approach focused on reducing inflammation and supporting egg health through nutrient-dense whole foods. It emphasizes pasture-raised proteins, bone broth, healthy fats, cooked vegetables, and organ meats while removing common inflammatory triggers like gluten, soy, and processed sugar.
At minimum, start a prenatal with methylfolate (not folic acid), fish oil or cod liver oil, CoQ10 for egg quality, and vitamin D. Choline, magnesium, and a probiotic are also widely recommended. For men, zinc, CoQ10, folate, and omega-3s support sperm health. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting supplements.
Most experts recommend 75 to 100g of protein per day during pregnancy, increasing as you progress. First trimester needs are around 75 to 80g, while third trimester needs can reach 100 to 120g daily. During TTC, aim for 80 to 100g to support hormone balance and egg quality.
Yes. Sperm health is very responsive to nutrition and lifestyle changes, and improvements show up within 3 to 4 months. A diet rich in zinc, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids supports sperm count, motility, and DNA quality. Our TTC supplements tab includes a dedicated section for him.
Yes. Each meal is tagged with dietary information (dairy-free, vegetarian, gluten-free). The TTC plan is naturally gluten-free and largely dairy-free, aligned with the Egg Quality Diet approach. Use the filter to highlight meals that match your needs.
