Of course, infertility may arise as a result of male or female health issues, or some combination of concerns with both partners. While there may be multiple underlying causes or complicating factors, in women the cause is often related to egg production, egg quality, menstrual irregularities or hormonal imbalances. \u003cstrong\u003eFertility Matrix Ovulatory and Oocyte Support\u003c\/strong\u003e by Cyto-Matrix combines a selection of natural health ingredients and is free of \u003cem\u003eVitex agnus-castus\u003c\/em\u003e known as vitex or chaste tree. The formula is designed to target and improve outcomes for females experiencing infertility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInositol\u003c\/strong\u003e, a naturally occurring isomer of glucose and an important nutrient in the B-vitamin family, has been proven to improve fertility in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). These patients often present with insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances that can result in irregular menstrual cycles, lack of egg maturation and anovulation.  At doses of 1-4 grams per day, inositol has been shown to improve insulin and glucose control, regulate ovulation, improve egg quality, lower androgens and improve fertility. When combined with folic acid, inositol has been demonstrated to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates. Moreover, one study found that this same combination of nutrients was more effective at inducing ovulation and achieving pregnancy in infertile women with PCOS when directly compared to metformin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the topic of \u003cstrong\u003efolate\u003c\/strong\u003e, even though it is classically known for its importance in the first trimester of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida and anencephaly, research has shown that it also plays a crucial role in fertility and pregnancy preparation. For example, studies have found that higher folate levels are associated with improved oocyte development, embryo quality and implantation, clinical pregnancies and live birth rates. In addition, research has found that lower levels of folate may be accompanied with a higher risk of early miscarriage. The high prevalence of genetic modifications in the 5-MTHFR gene strongly suggests that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), as opposed to synthetic folic acid, is the necessary form for supplementation in all women to ensure proper absorption and utilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN-acetylcysteine (NAC)\u003c\/strong\u003e is another promising treatment for infertility. NAC is the rate-limiting substrate needed for the production of endogenous glutathione, one of our body’s most powerful antioxidants and detoxifying compounds. NAC has been used extensively in clinical trials to support optimal health, particularly in cases of liver protection and respiratory conditions. In the context of women’s health, NAC has been shown to significantly increase the rate of live birth rates in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Finally, NAC has been shown to improve pregnancy rates when used adjunctively with clomiphene citrate in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles for women with unexplained infertility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMitochondrial dysfunction, as a result of any number of environmental toxins, disease states or ageing, is another identified mechanism behind female infertility. This may explain why \u003cstrong\u003eCoenzyme Q10 (CoQ10\u003c\/strong\u003e), a nutrient known to support mitochondrial function and increase ATP energy production, has shown such promise in various female infertility cases. Although CoQ10 has classically been used as a cardiovascular nutrient, recent research has shown that CoQ10 improves conception rates by supporting egg quality, embryo implantation and embryonic growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique antioxidant that has been shown to have synergistic beneficial effects on mitochondrial function when used alongside CoQ10. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases of infertility, the health of the endometrial lining may be a contributing concern and \u003cstrong\u003eL-arginine \u003c\/strong\u003emay be helpful. L-arginine has been supplemented principally for its ability to upregulate nitric oxide and improve blood flow, explaining its benefits on intermittent claudication and exercise performance, but it also has demonstrated merit for women’s health. Increased nitric oxide supports blood flow to the pelvic organs, supporting endometrial receptivity, endometrial thickness and follicular growth. One particular study found that L-arginine improved endometrial thickness and pregnancy rates in women with thin endometrial linings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, \u003cstrong\u003eacetyl-L-carnitine\u003c\/strong\u003e is not only another antioxidant nutrient but one that is involved in mitochondrial fatty acid transport. This improved energy efficiency has been theorized to reduce oxidative stress in reproductive tissues and enhance oocyte energy metabolism. Indeed, human clinical trials have found that acetyl-l-carnitine can improve metabolic function and pregnancy rates in women with treatment-resistant PCOS, while also improving in-vitro fertility (IVF) success rates in women with unexplained infertility and prior IVF failure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertility Matrix Ovulatory and Oocyte Support\u003c\/strong\u003e combines all of these evidenced based nutrients to support women’s fertility including ovulation, oocyte quality, embryonic development and successful gestation. Plus, additional choline to positively influence fetal brain and spinal cord formation. \u003cstrong\u003eFertility Matrix Ovulatory and Oocyte Support \u003c\/strong\u003eis offered in a convenient Wildberry Lemonade flavoured powder for improved compliance and ease of use.
