Zinc is used to improve female fertility- menstrual irregularities, preconception care, hormone imbalance including menopause and perimenopause. Zinc - is an essential component of genetic material and plays an important role in the fertility of men (affecting sperm count) and women. Zinc is vital to healthy cell division, so healthy zinc levels are essential at conception. Zinc occurs naturally in oats, rye, almonds, pumpkin seeds and peas. Vitamin E - is an antioxidant. Low Vitamin E levels can be a cause for subfertility in men and women. Ensure you take natural Vit E (look for d-alpha-tocopherol on the label) and not synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol) as natural Vit E is absorbed better into the body. Found in wheat germ cereal, sunflower seeds, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, brown rice, eggs, milk, organ meats, Soya beans and sweet potatoes.
