Fertility Nutraceuticals launches prenatal vitamins for over 35s
FERTINATAL Plus designed to meet the special nutritional needs of women over 35 who are trying to get pregnant
Fertility Nutraceuticals has released FERTINATAL Plus, a prenatal vitamin product designed to meet the special nutritional needs of women over 35 who are trying to get pregnant. Currently, no other prenatal vitamins on the market contains fertility-supporting benefit of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to would-be mothers over 35, whose natural fertility may be on the wane.
FERTINATAL Plus was developed based on the success of the company’s flagship product, FERTINATAL DHEA, which was introduced in 2012 to help women with low ovarian reserve get pregnant more easily with fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Since its launch, many IVF centres and reproductive endocrinologists have started incorporating FERTINATAL DHEA into advanced fertility treatments they offer.
While women between 35 and 40 may not yet experience the same level of decline in ovarian reserve as women over 40, female fertility does start declining at around age 35. FERTINATAL Plus was developed to address this unique need of women over 35 who don’t need the help of a reproductive endocrinologist, but want to improve their chance of spontaneous pregnancy. FERTINATAL Plus provides a smaller amount of fertility-boosting DHEA, along with a carefully considered mix of pregnancy-supporting prenatal vitamins and minerals, such as folic acid, calcium and iron.
According to Fertility Nutraceuticals, FERTINATAL Plus uses the same pharmaceutical-grade, micronised DHEA as used in FERTINATAL. The serving size of DHEA is smaller because women in this age range typically do not need the same amount of DHEA as women over 40, whose ovarian reserve is naturally much lower. Like FERTINATAL, FERTINATAL Plus follows all the manufacturing and quality control standards established by the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), the New York-based fertility centre that introduced DHEA supplementation into fertility treatments.
