Vitamin E & Fertility

Vitamin E & Fertility

I like to get my Vitamin E from grass-fed meats, whose content is 4X higher than conventionally raised meats. I also supplement with a high-quality Vitamin E like that of Mitolife.

Vitamin E is also known as “tocopherol,” which comes from the Greek word “tokos,” meaning “childbirth.”

It was first discovered in 1922 by Dr Herbet Evans and Dr Katharine Bishop. They also realized that it was essential to reproductive health and it became known as “fertility factor X” and “antisterility factor X.”

*It’s been shown to:

〰 Improve sperm quality

〰 Sustain pregnancy after miscarriages

〰 Combat excess Estrogen effects

〰 Increase blood flow to eggs and uterus

〰 Increase effects of Progesterone

*The best ways to increase Vitamin E levels:

⟿ Toss industrial vegetable oils and iron-fortified foods, which both deplete Vitamin E

⟿ Eat grass-fed meat and butter, whose Vitamin E content is 4X higher than grain-fed

⟿ Talk to your healthcare provider about a Vitamin E supplement.

⟿ ⟿ ⟿ One of my favorite Vitamin E supplements is Lifeblud’s Antidote (capsules) and Antidote V2 (dopper). (code INNATE will provide a discount)

Learn more in Episode 3 of The Innate Wisdom Podcast with Dr. Ray Peat.. And sign up for the wait list to my eCourse, Conscious Conception 2.0 releasing in spring/summer, where I’ll teach you how to use supplements like Vitamin E to optimize your fertility for pregnancy. Links for both are in my bio.
