The Fertility Support Stack

NAC is an amino acid derivative that acts as an antioxidant and supports glutathione levels at a cellular level. Glycine is a small amino acid with many roles in the body, including collagen production and brain function. Together they make GlyNAC.

Myo-inositol is a vitamin-like nutrient found in a variety of foods and generally regarded as a member of the B vitamin family.

This stack brings together two nutrients we love for preconception nourishment:

• GlyNAC provides antioxidant support and supports the body’s glutathione production, helping protect egg cells from oxidative stress.
• GlyNAC supports healthy inflammation levels and healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range.
• Myo-inositol supports healthy ovarian function, regular cycles and healthy ovulation.
• Myo-inositol supports healthy insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels already within the normal range.
• Higher levels of myo-inositol within the ovarian follicle have been associated with mature, good quality eggs.
• Together, NAC and myo-inositol support menstrual regularity, ovarian function and egg quality.

Ideally this stack is taken for 3 months before conception, as this is the time it takes for an egg to reach maturity.

Dose Suggestions: A typical dose of myo-inositol is 4g a day divided into two doses. A typical dose of NAC is 600mg daily, taken at once or divided in two. Some people notice mild digestive upset with either supplement. If so, build up the dose over a few weeks. Please talk to your practitioner about continuing either supplement once you conceive.
