Trying to conceive (TTC)? Your OB/GYN may have recommended a laundry list of supplements. Between core prenatals, CoQ10, antioxidants, and more, it can be confusing and expensive to get everything you need to boost fertility and support healthy conception.

‍

That’s why we reviewed the leading all-in-one fertility support supplements: Bird&Be’s The Power Prenatal for Females with CoQ10 Boost, Needed’s Fertility Support Plan, and Ritual’s Fertility Support.

‍

With the help of Dr. Michelle Jacobson, fertility expert, OB/GYN, and Co-founder of Coven Women’s health, we evaluated each on ingredients, quality, convenience, and cost.

We found one clear winner, offering the top formulation at the best price. Read on to find out which!

Fertility Supplements, Compared

Ingredients: Bird&Be Wins

A quality fertility support supplement should include:

• Prenatal essentials like folate, B12, B6, choline, and iron for healthy fetal development.‍
• Antioxidants (like NAC) to protect egg cells from damage.‍
• Omega-3s for hormone balance and uterine lining health.‍
• CoQ10 to improve egg quality and ovarian response.

‍

🥇First Place: Bird&Be’s The Power Prenatal For Females With CoQ10 Boost contains all of these nutrients, at proven dosages. It also contains 600 mg of pharmaceutical-grade CoQ10, critical for egg health and improving fertility.

‍

“CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant with clinical evidence supporting its role in fertility, but you’ll need a daily dose of around 600 mg to see meaningful results,” says Dr. Jacobson, our OB/GYN.

‍

🥈Second Place: Needed’s Fertility Support Plan is also comprehensive, but has much less CoQ10 (200 mg). Notably, it contains 1500 mcg of vitamin A (115% the recommended daily value). While an important antioxidant, adding high amounts of vitamin A to a standard diet can actually pose safety risks during pregnancy.¹

‍

🥉Last Place: Ritual’s Fertility Support is very limited, with just three total ingredients. It contains only 100 mg of CoQ10, one antioxidant (NAC), and myo-inositol - a hormone regulator typically used for those with PCOS. “This formulation has significant gaps if used as a standalone prenatal or preconception supplement,” adds Dr. Jacobson.

Price: Bird&Be Wins

🥇First Place: At $59/month, Bird&Be delivers comprehensive fertility support in one daily packet. It is HSA/FSA eligible.

🥈Second Place: Ritual is second at $110. With just three ingredients, you will need to buy additional products to fill those gaps. It is HSA/FSA eligible.

‍

🥉Last Place: At $242/month, Needed is by far the most expensive, upcharging for extra products that are not necessary for fertility. “Ingredients like collagen and probiotics are not considered essential fertility nutrients,” says Dr. Jacobson.

Quality: It’s a Tie

When it comes to pregnancy, Dr. Jacobson highly recommends only purchasing products with verified third-party testing. That confirms that what’s on the label is actually what’s in the bottle.

‍

🥇All three brands - Bird&Be, Needed, and Ritual are third-party tested for purity and potency.

Convenience: Bird&Be’s Daily Sachets Win

With any fertility routine, consistency is key. That’s why ease of dosing is so important.

‍

🥇First Place: Bird&Be makes dosing easy with once-daily packets that contain the 7 pills you need each day.

🥈Second Place: Ritual’s Fertility Support is a powder that comes in a large jar. It’s not portable and needs to be mixed with water to take.

‍

🥉Last Place: Needed’s Fertility Support Plan is, in one word, overwhelming: six separate bottles, 15 pills, and one powder a day. That’s a lot to keep track of and a lot to keep down.

Takeaways

Bird&Be’s Power Prenatal for Females with CoQ10 is our top pick for fertility supplements.

It’s a comprehensive, proven formula, delivered in convenient daily packets - that also wins on price.

‍

Finally, Bird&Be is third-party tested and formulated by experts.

‍

“The Power Prenatal for Females + CoQ10 is designed by OB/GYNs, reproductive endocrinologists, and fertility-focused naturopathic doctors,” says Dr. Jacobson. “Their formulas are grounded in clinical data and research, and reflect the experience of leading fertility experts.”
