Nutritional supplements For IVF

PCOS (SOPK): Yes.
PCOS is a metabolic syndrome that can have consequences on daily fatigue, egg quality, and oxidative stress. Olympia is THE product to have in this case.

Hormonal Contraception: Yes.

Endometriosis: Yes.
Antioxidants like vitamins C and E can play a beneficial role in endometriosis. They help reduce oxidative stress, an inflammatory process that can worsen endometriosis symptoms.

The female reproductive system relies on two key components: oocytes and follicles, each playing a distinct role in the reproductive process.

Oocytes: Oocytes are the female sex cells. Once mature, they are capable of being fertilized by a sperm cell to form a zygote. Oocytes go through two stages of development: the primary oocyte, which is in the growth phase before the first meiotic division, and the secondary oocyte, formed after the first meiotic division and awaiting fertilization. Their primary function is to undergo meiosis to reduce their chromosome number, preparing the cell for fertilization.

Follicles: Follicles are structures composed of an oocyte surrounded by somatic cells such as granulosa and theca cells. They nourish and protect the oocyte throughout its development. Follicles go through several growth stages, from the initial primordial follicle to the mature Graafian follicle, ready for ovulation. Their main role is to support the developing oocyte and produce hormones such as estrogen, which are essential for the menstrual cycle and the preparation of the endometrium.

Thus, while both oocytes and follicles are essential to the female reproductive system, they differ in their structure, function, and specific contribution to the reproductive process.

For both you and your partner, it is recommended to start the supplements 86 days before the start of IVF for optimal results, and continue using the products throughout the entire period (transfer and retrieval).

To improve oocyte quality, several dietary supplements are often recommended:

Folic acid: Folic acid is crucial not only to prevent neural tube defects in the baby but also for the health of oocytes. It is commonly recommended to take it before and during pregnancy.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This supplement is an antioxidant that helps improve cellular energy and oocyte quality. It has been linked to improvements in both the quality and quantity of oocytes in older women or those with fertility issues.

Myo-inositol: Particularly recommended for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), myo-inositol can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve oocyte function.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a role in reproductive health and has been associated with better oocyte quality and improved pregnancy outcomes.

Omega-3: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oils, can enhance the fluidity of the oocyte membrane, promoting better fertilization and optimal embryonic development.

You can find our Neptune Omega 3 product on our online store.

Oocyte quality plays a significant role in the risk of miscarriage. Poor-quality oocytes can lead to several complications that increase the likelihood of miscarriage for various reasons:

Chromosomal abnormalities: Lower quality oocytes are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomies or monosomies, which are common causes of miscarriage. These abnormalities can result from improper chromosome separation during meiosis, the cell division process that produces oocytes.

Altered embryonic development: Even if a poor-quality oocyte is fertilized, it may not develop properly. The early stages of embryonic development heavily rely on oocyte quality, and defects in this development can lead to early miscarriage.

Deficient implantation: An embryo’s ability to implant into the uterus is crucial for a successful pregnancy. Embryos derived from poor-quality oocytes may struggle to implant properly, thus increasing the risk of miscarriage.

Age factor: Oocyte quality declines with age, particularly after 35. This is partly due to an increase in chromosomal abnormalities and a decrease in oocyte vitality. As a result, the risk of miscarriage also increases with the woman’s age.

Ovarian response: In the context of fertility treatments, an excessive or insufficient response to ovarian stimulation can also impact the quality of oocytes retrieved, influencing the risk of miscarriage following in vitro fertilization (IVF).
