Preconception and prenatal vitamins
Supporting your health and wellness is an essential part of preparing for pregnancy. At Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area (RSC), we recommend that patients begin taking a preconception nutritional supplement one to three months before trying to conceive and continue through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. As pregnancy progresses, nutritional needs change, and a traditional prenatal vitamin may be more appropriate later in the first trimester.
Emerging research shows that nutrient needs before conception are different from those during pregnancy, underscoring the importance of stage-specific nutrition throughout the fertility journey. We’re committed to helping our patients make informed choices about the supplements that best support their reproductive and overall health.
