One of the most important elements required in preparing for conception is obtaining adequate levels of folic acid necessary in preventing neural tube defects (NTD) and poor fetal and/or placental growth. Because a significant portion of the female population lack adequate amounts of the enzyme required to convert folic acid to its biologically active form required for proper absorption, Coast Science® has taken the additional step of replacing folic acid with Quatrefolic®, the metabolically active 5-methylenetetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), therefore making it readily available to all.
Gymnema Sylvestre: Provides an anti-diabetic effect, thus helping PCOS patients control insulin levels.
D-Chiro-Inositol: Improves the action of insulin resulting in improved ovulation and decreased testosterone.
S-Acetyl-Glutathione: This “master” antioxidant is protective for the egg quality of women with PCOS and can benefit conception and increase ovulation rates.
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol): The most biologically active form of CoQ10 and a powerful antioxidant that improves egg health.
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ): An antioxidant that complements CoQ10 to improve fertility by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress.
Based on the most recent research and the advice of our Medical Advisory Board, Coast Science® has increased CoQ10 (Ubiqinol) to 600 mg per serving. Studies have shown that taking increased levels of this powerful antioxidant helps to improve mitochondrial function, egg & embryo quality and increased clinical pregnancy rates.¹
