Omega 3

Omega-3s from fish oil or algae play an important role in reproductive health by lowering inflammation, improving blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, and supporting hormone balance.

Does it really work?

Yes. Research shows omega-3 supplementation can improve egg quality, increase pregnancy rates, and lower inflammation in conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Omega-3s also support healthy fetal development once pregnancy occurs.

Can I get enough in real food?

Yes. Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are the richest sources. Plant foods (flax, chia, walnuts) contain ALA, but the conversion to the active forms EPA and DHA is very limited.

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

For most women preparing for pregnancy, yes. Unless you eat fatty fish several times a week, an omega-3 supplement is one of the simplest ways to support fertility and early pregnancy health.
