In two studies here and here, a supplement called FertilityBlend increased the rate of pregnancy in women who had tried unsuccessfully to conceive for 6 to 36 months.

The most recent study included 93 women aged 24 to 42 years who took FertilityBlend or placebo. After 3 months, 14 of 53 (26%) women in the FertilityBlend group were pregnant compared to 4 of 40 (10%) women in the placebo group.

There were also positive changes in hormones and the menstrual cycle that suggested higher fertility.

FertilityBlend for Women is a proprietary nutritional supplement containing chasteberry, green tea, L-arginine, vitamins (including folate), and minerals.

The bottom line?
Fertility is generally defined as the inability to become pregnant after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. Both of these studies included women who had tried unsuccessfully to conceive for 6 to 36 months. So, it’s unclear if they all were really infertile, and the researchers don’t claim they were.

At first, you might think that FertilityBlend is a treatment for infertility. But it’s really designed for women (couples) who are not having success getting pregnant.

The FertilityBlend Optimization System goes “all the way” “to help couples enhance their chances for conception.”
