- Vitamin C is thought to help aid in conception for a variety of reasons. Vitamin C helps make the walls of your blood vessels stronger and helps to fight infections, which could cause potential problems with a woman's fertility. Vitamin C is also thought to increase the amount of water that is in a woman's cervical mucus, essentially making more mucus and making her more likely to conceive.
- Nitric oxide increases the blood flow to the reproductive organs, helping in conception. Nitric oxide is also thought to help increase cervical mucus, which can aid in conception.
- Vitamins B6 and B12 both help promote good health of the reproductive organs. Vitamin B6 is a good choice for the female in the relationship to take and is thought to increase fertility. Vitamin B12, when taken by men, is thought to increase a low sperm count, making it more likely for fertilization to occur.
- Vitamin E is often given to men when their partner is undergoing in vitro fertilization, and has been proven to increase a couple's chance of conceiving though in vitro by 10 percent. The antioxidant helps the reproductive organs run efficiently and is often referred to as the "anti-sterility vitamin."
