The Best Natural Supplements for Fertility

If you’re here, I imagine there’s a quiet tug on your heart that hasn’t gone away. Maybe you want to prepare your body for a baby in a year or two. Maybe you’ve been trying and nothing has clicked yet. Maybe you’re simply ready to feel steady in your cycle again after years of stress, birth control, or just not feeling like yourself. Wherever you are, I want you to know this: your body is wise, your fertility is not fragile, and when you nourish the foundations, your system often remembers exactly what to do.

I’m a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner who loves real food, mineral balance, nervous system care, and good old-fashioned kitchen healing. I also use targeted supplementation when it makes sense. Food is the base layer. Sleep, sunlight, following circadian rhythms, and reducing toxic inputs are the daily medicine. Supplements are the “helping hands” that can speed repair, bring a sluggish system back online, and give your tissues the specific support they’ve been asking for.

Below are four supplements I reach for often when I’m supporting fertility. They’re not random bottles from a big box store; they’re practitioner-grade formulas that I trust, and I make them available through my Fullscript dispensary so you know you’re getting the best quality. As always, the right plan is personal. This is not medical advice and it isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol. It’s an invitation to understand how strategic support can help your body feel safe, nourished, and ready.

Why Supplements Matter for Fertility (and why they’re not the whole story)

Fertility is a whole-body conversation. Ovaries, liver, gut, thyroid, adrenals, brain, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and your nervous system talk to each other all day long. If any one of those has been running on fumes, your body will often down-shift fertility to protect you. That’s not failure; that’s wisdom.

Thoughtfully chosen supplements can help you:

  • Replenish nutrients and co-factors that are tough to get enough of from modern food systems
  • Support hormone metabolism so estrogen and progesterone can find their balance
  • Calm an over-triggered stress response that steals from your reproductive hormones
  • Nudge ovulation and cycles toward a steadier rhythm
  • Make you feel like yourself again while you do the foundational work

What they cannot do is fix a chaotic lifestyle, sugar crashes, three hours of sleep, or a kitchen cabinet packed with endocrine-disrupting products. Pair these allies with protein-rich meals, mineral-rich veggies and carbohydrates, healthy fats, restorative movement, better sleep, and kinder self-talk. That’s where the magic happens.

My Four Favorite Fertility Allies

1) Cytozyme-F™

This is one of my go-to supports when I want to nourish the entire female endocrine system at a cellular level. In plain words, I use it to bring gentle, targeted nourishment to reproductive function and rhythm. This product has activated animal glandulars from female ovaries, adrenals, thyroid and pituitary. It helps get the whole symphony of these endocrine glands playing together in harmony. This product is amazing for helping all things hormone including getting a period back as well boosting fertility. 

Who I tend to consider it for:

  • Irregular cycles after long-term birth control
  • Women doing deeper rebuilding work who need steady, subtle support
  • Women trying to conceive
  • Women in peri-menopause or menopause trying to boost the hormone system 

How I think about it

This is not a stimulant and it’s not a band-aid. It’s food-like support for organ systems that have been overworked or under-fed. I usually layer it with dietary nourishment, good sleep hygiene, and mineral balance so the body has what it needs to respond.

2) Cytozyme-O™

I often pair this with Cytozyme-O™ when assessment points toward extra help for endocrine communication. In simple terms, I’m supporting the “conversation” between brain, glands, and reproductive rhythm so signals get where they’re going and the monthly dance can organize itself.

Who I tend to consider it for”

  • Women aiming to or preparing to conceive to super-charge the ovaries
  • Too long, too short or lack of cycles
  • If a woman has been on hormonal birth control and is trying to get the ovaries back on line
  • Naturally boosting or balancing out estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels

How I think about it

I like to use it as part of a broader plan that includes blood-sugar stability, nervous system care, overall endocrine system support (like Cytozyme-F) and liver support. When the background noise calms down, hormone communication always improves.

3) LivCo®

I call this one “liver love in a bottle.” A well-cared-for liver is non-negotiable for happy hormones because your liver helps metabolize and clear them. When the liver is burdened by stress, toxins, plastics, alcohol, poor sleep, or just life, estrogen levels can be  unpredictable. Bloating, mood swings, breast tenderness, stubborn weight, and PMS can pop up.

LivCo blends herbs that help the liver process what it needs to process while offering antioxidant support. When the liver can clear yesterday’s hormones, today’s cycle feels clearer and more easeful. Cleared pathways equal calmer cycles.

Who I tend to consider it for

  • Estrogen-dominant patterns or “PMS that makes no sense”
  • Skin issues that flare with your cycle
  • History of chemical exposures, birth control, or simply a lot of life
  • PMS and difficult periods
  • Anyone – this formula can benefit anyone as a gentle liver support which we all need for the rest of our life.

How I think about it

I always pair liver love with nourishment. Your detox system is nutrient-hungry: protein, choline, B vitamins, magnesium, and minerals. LivCo is a beautiful helper when the food foundation is in place.

4) Free and Easy Wanderer

I love this classic Chinese herbal formula for women who are carrying a lot. Modern life asks us to do so much while pretending we don’t have feelings or cycles. Your nervous system hears every request. It’s hard to ovulate consistently when your body feels under threat all month long. This formula has a long history of helping smooth emotional edges, ease irritability and stuckness, and support a more rhythmic cycle. This formula also supports both liver and adrenals. 

Who I tend to consider it for:

  • The high-functioning, compassionate woman who is exhausted inside
  • The woman that is wired and tired
  • The woman who releases stress with rage,  anger or irritability
  • PMS that feels more like “pre-menstrual truth telling” with no place to land
  • Cycles that go late when stress goes up

How I think about it

When your system feels safer, it can shift out of survival and into creation. This ally helps create that “softening” while we also work on protein-rich meals, blood-sugar balance, sunlight, and rest.

How I Combine These in Real Life

Every woman is different, which is why I personalize. That said, here are example scenarios that might help you picture how this works. These are not prescriptions. They’re illustrations.

Scenario A: Coming off hormonal birth control

  • Focus: rebuild minerals, stabilize blood sugar, re-establish rhythm
  • Often helpful: Cytozyme-F for foundational support, LivCo for gentle hormone clearance support, nutrient-dense meals, early bedtime, morning sunlight
  • Add if needed: Free and Easy Wanderer for stress smoothing while your body remembers how to cycle

Scenario B: Irregular cycles with long follicular phase

  • Focus: calm the stress response, support endocrine communication, keep blood sugar steady
  • Often helpful: Cytozyme-O alongside Cytozyme-F and LivCo, solid protein at breakfast, mineral-rich carbs, nervous system resets mid-day

Scenario C: Clear PMS signs of estrogen dominance

  • Focus: help the liver do its job, support the gut, remove estrogen-like inputs from products and plastics
  • Often helpful: LivCo, Cyto-zyme-F, Free and Easy Wanderer, castor oil packs over the liver and womb area, switch to unscented and non-toxic home products, stop eating and drinking out of plastic, eat regular meals, eat plenty of fiber such as beans and greens and psyllium to clear excess estrogen

Scenario D: Stress-related late ovulation

  • Focus: safety signals, slower evenings, fewer stimulants, deep nourishment
  • Often helpful: Cytozyme-O, Cytozyme-F, Free and Easy Wanderer, magnesium at night, device boundaries, gentle walking, more root vegetables and warm meals

Again, these are examples. Your body gets the final say.

The Foundations That Make Supplements Work

Supplements are not magic without the basics. If you want fertility to feel less mysterious, build the following into your life and then layer supplements as needed:

Protein at every meal

Twenty to thirty grams minimum is a good starting point for most women. Eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured chicken, wild fish, broth, and slow-cooked meats stabilize blood sugar, make hormones, and help you feel human again.

Mineral-rich carbohydrates

Fruit, root vegetables, beans, squash, potatoes, and properly prepared grains can calm the nervous system and support thyroid function. 

Healthy fats

Butter, ghee, beef tallow, olive oil, coconut oil and milk, avocado. These are your hormone building blocks and your satiety friends.

Sleep like it matters

Lights down, phone far away, warm bath, magnesium, earlier bedtime. Fertility loves safety and safety loves sleep.

Reduce endocrine disruptors

Fragrances and perfumes, soft plastics, plug-in’s scented things, certain body products, and harsh cleaners can all add to the burden. Swap as soon as you can. Your body notices.

Move your body kindly

Walks outside. Strength training that feels good. Stretch, dance, breathe. Your lymph moves when you do.

Final Thoughts

You do not have to bully your way to fertility. You can nourish your way there. You can rest your way there. You can create a life that feels safe and supportive and watch your body respond with gratitude.
