Daily Essentials for FemalesServing size: 2 capsules30 servings per box Ingredient Per serving % DV Biotin Per serving: 50 mcg Percent daily value: 143% Benefits Supports your hair, skin, and nail health, which may be impacted by hormonal shifts. Also found in Eggs, nuts, seeds, sweet potatoes, bananas Cholineas choline bitartrate Per serving: 150 mg Percent daily value: 27% Benefits Supports egg quality, brain health, and nervous system development in early pregnancy. About the daily value We're proud to offer one of the highest doses of Choline on the market. It's an expensive ingredient, but a critical one for fetal development. Cover your full daily needs by pairing this supplement with 2 to 3 eggs. Also found in Eggs, beef liver, salmon, soybeans, broccoli Chromiumas chromium citrate Per serving: 100 mcg Percent daily value: 222% Benefits Helps regulate blood sugar levels, reducing insulin resistance that can impact fertility. Also found in Whole grains, broccoli, potatoes, meats, nuts Copperas copper citrate Per serving: 2 mg Percent daily value: 154% Benefits Supports iron metabolism, red blood cell production, and a healthy reproductive system. Also found in Shellfish, nuts, seeds, whole grains, dark chocolate Folateas 400 mcg folic acid, 600 mcg calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate Per serving: 1 mg Percent daily value: 278% 1,667 DFE Benefits Supports DNA synthesis, egg quality, and neural tube development in early pregnancy. Why this form Governing health authorities recommend that all reproductive-aged females take at least 400 mcg DFE (which stands for "dietary folate equivalent") via Folic Acid daily for at least 2 to 3 months before conception, and then increase to 600 mcg DFE during pregnancy. Our formulas meet that requirement. And for those with MTHFR mutations, which means you can process some Folic Acid but not super efficiently, we also include 5-MTHF at 1,000 mcg DFE. So whether you have a MTHFR mutation or not, you won’t get too much to cause any health concerns, while still getting more than enough to support your body and baby before and during pregnancy. About the daily value We include two forms of Folate: Folic Acid and L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Only Folic Acid has been proven to prevent neural tube defects, making it the recommended form by the CDC, ACOG, SOGC and Health Canada—and something we'd never skip out on. But because some people have a gene mutation (MTHFR) that limits their ability to process Folic Acid, we also include the more bioavailable 5-MTHF. This rare hybrid approach gets a thumbs up from both OB/GYNs and naturopathic doctors—which is why you'll find Bird&Be supplements sold in fertility clinics and naturopathic clinics across the United States and Canada. Also found in Leafy greens, lentils, beans, oranges, fortified grains Iodineas potassium iodide Per serving: 220 mcg Percent daily value: 76% Benefits Supports thyroid function, which is essential for hormone balance and ovulation.

Also found in Whole grains, pork, beans, sunflower seeds, peas Vitamin Aas retinyl palmitate Per serving: 540 mcg RAE Percent daily value: 42% Benefits Supports cervical mucus production, immune health, and early fetal development. Why this form While many supplements use the Vitamin A precursor Beta-Carotene, some bodies don't effectively convert it. That's why we use a preformed version, the most bioavailable form. About the daily value Think of Vitamin A as a Goldilocks nutrient: you don't want too much or too little. We include a moderate dose so that you don't overdo it with dietary sources mixed in. Also found in Carrots, sweet potatoes, liver, dairy, leafy greens Vitamin B12as methylcobalamin Per serving: 500 mcg Percent daily value: 17857% Benefits Supports egg quality, red blood cell production, and energy metabolism for fertility. Why this form We use the most bioavailable form of Vitamin B12 so that your body can put it to use easily. About the daily value Vitamin B12 is extremely important for fertility and pregnancy; having too little is linked with ovulatory issues, implantation failure, poor egg and embryo quality, miscarriage risk, and neural tube defects. But only 1 to 2% of B12 in supplements actually gets absorbed, so we use a higher dose to help ensure that sufficient levels make it into the bloodstream (this is especially important for vegetarians and vegans, as dietary B12 is found in animal products). Vitamin B12 is non-toxic even at high levels, and any excess gets excreted via urine. Also found in Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, fortified plant foods Vitamin B6as pyridoxal-5-phosphate Per serving: 20mg Percent daily value: 1250% Benefits Helps regulate hormones, supports progesterone levels, and reduces PMS symptoms.

The body converts between the two forms easily and often as its digested, so we chose to get you the most effective form at a lower cost.

About the daily value This Omega-3 has loads of fertility benefits, and it's something that most prenatals skip because it needs to be delivered in an oil format.
