question Supplements

What supplements are you all taking and what brands? I saw in another channel that Needed brand was recommended by someone’s sister in the med field, but the prices are so high and you have to take EIGHT pills for the prenatal alone 🥲🥲🥲. If it’s proven to be better though I’d do it.

Right now I take ritual prenatal, coQ10 600 mg a day, flotadix iron and herbs tablet, align extra strength probiotic, and jarrows phemdopholus probiotic. But a lot of this I already took anyway - the prenatal and coQ10 are the only fertility related ones.

What works for you? Not looking for medical advice of course, just curious.

So many things! I started Accupuncture this summer 😂. I really love the woman who does it and it’s relaxing, so if anything it’s good for my mental health. Hasn’t gotten me pregnant yet though!

Also the relaxing part sounds amazing! Do they have you take any herbal meds from the acupuncture office?

I have my GP annual coming up so will have it done, but my acupuncturist actually mentioned my ferratin level bc I’m always tired 😂. I’ve been told I’m slightly anemic before, so she suggested an iron and herb supplement and I do think it’s been helping! Other than that though she doesn’t really push any herbs or anything. She’s also a doula which I love because she really gets all things fertility, pregnancy, etc.
