MyOva Preconception

MyOva Preconception is a specially formulated supplement for women with PCOS trying to conceive. The formula is informed by worldwide studies demonstrating the significance of specific nutrients in preparing nutritional stores for pregnancy and promoting reproductive wellness.

Preconception includes 2000mg of Myo-inositol and a balanced blend of micronutrients, including Chromium, N-Acetyl Cysteine, L-Arginine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Coenzyme Q10. It also contains essential vitamins B12 and D3, and 400mcg of Folate as recommended by the Department of Health.

MyOva Preconception is a natural food supplement and everyone will undoubtedly have a different experience. MyOva states any nutritional change to diet takes 4-8 weeks for effects to be seen, so they recommend taking Preconception for at least 2 to 3 months before trying to conceive.

We are unable to offer medical advise and recommend that you speak to your GP if you plan to take Preconception alongside any existing medication.

After extensive research, MyOva decided not to use D-chiro inositol due to recent studies suggesting that the supplement may be ineffective or even do more harm than good.

An Italian study found that women who took D-chiro inositol had fewer eggs and lower quality embryos compared to those who took a placebo.

Because many of MyOva's customers are trying to conceive, or plan to in the future, MyOva want to ensure that they offer the most effective solution.

MyOva Preconception should cause no side effects if taken at the recommended dose.

Myo-inositol can cause nausea, tiredness, headache, and dizziness if taken in excessive dosages. And excessive amounts of chromium supplements can lead to stomach problems and low blood sugar, and damage to the liver, kidneys, and nerves. However, side effects from taking chromium supplements are rare.

MyOva states that Folate is safe for most people when taken by mouth or injected into the body. Most adults do not experience any side effects when used in doses less than 1000mcg daily.

For higher daily intake of Myo-inositol, MyOva states you can supplement Preconception with two tablets of Myoplus per day.

This results in a total daily dose of 4000mg of Myo-inositol and 600ug of Folate, safe for women trying to become pregnant.

It's not recommended to take Preconception with Balance, Metabolism, or Hair, Skin & Nails.

It takes three months for an egg to finally ovulate, which is why MyOva states to start Preconception as soon as you begin trying for a baby, or even better, up to three months prior. Continue using Preconception until pregnancy is confirmed, then switch to a pregnancy supplement tailored to your needs for the remainder of your pregnancy.

Menstrual cycles can vary and be impacted by factors like weight changes, intense exercise, stress, and discontinuing birth control pills. A shift in your cycle could also indicate other health issues. If you notice a change, it's best to take a pregnancy test and consult with a doctor or health professional for further evaluation.

Folate is a natural form of Vitamin B9, found in food sources like leafy greens, fruits, and legumes. Folic Acid, on the other hand, is a synthetic form of Vitamin B9, often used in dietary supplements and fortification of processed foods.

While both forms can be converted into the active form of Vitamin B9 in the body, Folate, which MyOva use in the form of 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate MyOva states Calcium is better absorbed and utilised than Folic Acid, making it the preferred form in our supplements.

Folate is important for pregnant women because it helps to form the neural tube, which develops into the baby's brain and spinal cord.

Taking adequate Folate before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of birth defects in the brain and spine known as neural tube defects.

Additionally, Folate may also aid in cell growth and development, as well
as help to prevent anaemia in pregnancy.

The recommended dose of Folate by the UK Department of Health is 400 micrograms per day for women who are trying to conceive and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Swallowing pills can be a challenge for many. To make it easier, we suggest chewing a bit of food, for example a banana, then immediately taking the tablet and swallowing it with the chewed food followed by a drink. This opens the throat wider and can facilitate swallowing.

Another option is to crush the tablet and mix the contents with liquids such as smoothies or yogurt.
