Fertility and Nutrition: Why is it important to check nutrient levels in the blood?
Reproductive health is closely related to the balance of nutrients. Certain parameters, such as homocysteine, when elevated, can affect circulation and make it harder to conceive. Vitamin B12, essential for cell division and DNA synthesis, needs to be at the right levels. Thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) are crucial for regulating metabolism, directly impacting the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Vitamin D is also important for hormonal health and the immune system. And we must not forget about toxic metals, like arsenic and lead, which interfere with fertility and need to be controlled.
Getting a complete nutrient assessment is an important step for those who want to improve reproductive health and increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. ✨
