When you are trying to conceive and start looking into which supplements to take, it can be like opening Pandora’s box… all of a sudden you find yourself with way more questions than you had before… which person do I listen to (my friend, my family member, the influencer, my GP??), which products have the right ingredients? Which brands can I trust? Do I choose the cheaper or more expensive option? Is there a difference? Do I need to take one supplement or ten?
The market for preconception supplements can be overwhelming and confusing. This is where science comes into the mix. Evidence-based practice means a supplement has been thoroughly examined via extensive research and found to make a significant difference to reproductive outcomes. Evidence-based fertility is the gold standard in reproductive health care.
Are all preconception supplements evidence based? Overwhelmingly, no. Are The Fertility Supplements evidence based, 100% yes.
In Australia, supplements/vitamins are regulated by a governing body called the Therapeutics Goods Association (TGA). Every product create at The Fertility Supplements is a listed medicine. You can check if a supplement is a listed medicine by looking for an ‘AUST L’ number on the front of the label. This means every ingredient included in The Fertility Supplement’s products are substantiated by scientific evidence.
It also means that we can’t ‘make up’ claims. Every claim we make has to be a permitted indication, which describes the therapeutic uses for listed medicines. For each of these, we need to have robust supporting evidence. Our supplements do what they claim to do.
Our products are made in Australia and require testing before distribution. Each ingredient used in The Fertility Supplement’s products must meet the quality standards, which are applicable to every listed medicine in Australia. These are part of the good manufacturing practices.
