Mechanism of Action
The components of this supplement work synergistically to improve ovarian function, support hormonal balance, reduce oxidative stress, and provide essential nutrients for egg quality and fetal development.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional improvements occur gradually, typically over several weeks to months of consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Minerals are excreted through feces and kidneys.
Half life
Varies by component; water-soluble vitamins generally have shorter half-lives and require daily intake.
Absorption
Water-soluble vitamins are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; minerals are absorbed depending on their bioavailability. Myo-inositol is also well-absorbed.
Metabolism
Vitamins and minerals are processed via their normal metabolic pathways, acting as coenzymes where appropriate.

Levodopa
High doses of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) can interact with levodopa, reducing its efficacy.
Methotrexate
Folic acid can interfere with the activity of methotrexate.
Levothyroxine
Iron can decrease the absorption of levothyroxine. Separate administration by several hours.
Tetracycline/Quinolone Antibiotics
Minerals like iron and zinc can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Separate administration by several hours.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
