Couples, especially women, who seek a pregnancy take and associate many and many supplements, to the diet and to the path of PMA (Medically Assisted Procreation), of which they often do not know their effects and their benefits.

Well, we decided to dedicate an article every week for every vitamin and micronutrient used in fertility supplementation as coined by Dr. Sabrina Fiorentino (who took this challenge with me to undertake a good online and paper information project that will start soon in collaboration with his company Sestre). With the iherb sg promo code you can have the best options now.

The complex of B vitamins also includes vitamin B9 or the famous folic acid, of which I have already spoken here, underlining the importance of its integration in an active form in those who have the MTHFR mutation. Folic acid is essential not only for the prevention of spina bifida in the fetus but also for the woman herself, guaranteeing her cellular health, including oocyte health, and neurotransmission, which in turn is essential for hormonal balance.

However in the whole complex of vitamins, in addition to vitamin B9 or folate, they stand out two: vitamin B12 and vitamin B6.

Why are they so important?

Vitamins B9, B6 and B12 enter the path of homocysteine, a mechanism that involves many protagonists, as you can see in the photo below.

This vitamin trio has a role on three levels:

Neurological level: stimulate the synthesis of neurotransmitters, guaranteeing the functionality of the nervous system;

Energy level: guaranteeing energy metabolism, reducing fatigue and muscle fatigue.

Anti-aging or anti-aging level: guaranteeing the homocysteine ​​cycle and the methylation mechanism, addition of methyl groups, which protects the DNA from mutations, facilitating repair,

A deficiency of only one of these vitamins is in fact the cause of hyperhomocysteinemia , or an excess of homocysteine . According to some studies, in fact, high levels of homocysteine ​​in the blood and in the follicular fluid, ie the liquid in which the female oocytes “float and feed”, can reduce the chances of assisted fertilization. Furthermore, hyperhomocysteinemia is also correlated with cardiovascular pathologies and with an increased risk of infertility.

Every time I do a consultation, whether in person or online, we always try to evaluate the integration of the woman in order to be able to contribute to my knowledge. For the iherb hk code options you can find the best discounts now.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is essential if present in an active form that is in the form of methylcobalamin and not the simple cobalamin (read the label of your supplements well) in particular if you have the MTHFR mutation , which I mentioned here . In fact, methylcobalamin does not need transformations to pass through a barrier between blood and brain, called the blood-brain barrier.

As seen in the figure above it is involved in the homocysteine ​​cycle and in the process of DNA formation and synthesis, this explains its importance also in guaranteeing the health of the cells protecting our genetic makeup from the mutations to which it is subjected in the course of life. Furthermore, from a metabolic point of view, vitamin B12 helps the body convert carbohydrates and regulate ovulation.
