Vitamins For Infertility

Women may want to consider these supplements and vitamins:

• Iron (10-20 mg/day): Anemia can lead to infertility. Women who bleed profusely may be anemic, those who rarely bleed may in fact be either anemic or too high in iron.
• Vitamin C (500-1500 rag/day): This powerful anti-oxidant helps to protect cells and strengthen the immune system.
• Vitamin E (400-800 i.u, per day): Vitamin E may increase egg quality. In a preliminary human trial, infertile couples given vitamin E (200 IU per day for the female and 100 IU per day for the male) showed a significant increase in fertility.

In the overview of the Six Tastes below, "-" after a doshic initial refers to a balancing (or decreasing) effect on that particular dosha, while "+" refers to an aggravating (or increasing) effect.

SWEET (V- P- K+)

Sweet taste results from the combination of Water and Earth and is heavy, moist and cooling by nature. In the West, sugary foods are most commonly associated with this taste. Sweet taste is also found in milk and milk products (like butter, ghee and cream), most grains (especially wheat, rice and barley), many legumes (like beans and lentils), sweet fruits (such as bananas and mangos) and certain cooked vegetables (such as carrots, sweet potatoes and beets).

Vitamin B6
 
Is apparently linked to the female reproductive process. Birth control pills almost completely eliminate this vitamin from the body. In a study of 14 women, aged 23 to 31, who had unexplained infertility and who were unable to become pregnant for from 18 months to 7 years, 11 of the 14 became pregnant within 6 months, the 8th woman became pregnant after 11 months, and the other 2 out of the study - one after adopting a child and the other due to divorcing. 

Progesterone concentrations increased in 5 of the 7 women whose hormone levels were measured. A proper balance of estrogen and progesterone is essential pregnancy to occur. Vitamin B6 deficiency leads to a buildup of estrogen in the system and the ovary responds by shutting down its progesterone production, which can lead to miscarriage and luteal phase defects. B6 is also effective as a bromocriptine in lowering prolactin, the hormone which prepares the mother for breast feeding; too much prolactin can prevent pregnancy.

Used for thousands of years by Chinese women for menstrual regularity and to nourish and balance the reproductive system. Modern science has verified that Dong Quai is rich in vitamin E, cobalt and iron, though it takes months of regular use to benefit.
