Optimal Dosages
pre-Conceive’s formulation is not just about including the right ingredients - it’s also about providing them in their optimal dosages. This precision ensures that users receive the full therapeutic effects of our formulation.
Other supplements start with a price and build a formula to hit that consumer price point. We started with science, created a formula based on efficacy with the correct ingredients and dosages, had it clinically trialled and brought to market.
How pre-Conceive Works
During the developmental research into pre-Conceive, we noticed a commonality in the male and female body and, the male and female reproductive systems. Additionally, the fundamental processes of human metabolism and nutrient utilisation are largely the same for both men and women. Regardless of gender, all human bodies require essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water to function properly. When these nutrients are provided in sufficient amounts, the body thrives, producing healthier cells. pre-Conceive aims to replicate and provide the nutrition used by the body in producing good quality egg and sperm cells, through our unique dosages.
This is why we produced a comprehensive, fertility enhancing, unisex nutritional product, capable of improving both male and female fertility.
pre-Conceive Formula
pre-Conceive is a high dose supplement. We pack more nutrients, of a higher quality in our formulation, which is why we are more expensive than other fertility supplements. In total, pre-Conceive delivers 16,651mg of active nutritional ingredients in every serving.
- A leading competitor Fertility Supplement delivers just 547mg.
- A second leading competitor Fertility Supplement has only 443mg.
There is really no comparison in terms of efficacy. Our formulation and reasons for inclusion are below.
Amino Acids
Amino acids are compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They play crucial roles in our general health and our fertility.
Arginine 5,000mg
Arginine, an amino acid, supports both male and female fertility primarily due to its roles in circulation, hormone production, and cellular health. Arginine has been shown in more than 10,000 medical citations to improve both male and female fertility.
Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow. Enhanced blood flow to the reproductive organs improves nutrient and oxygen delivery, supporting ovarian and uterine health in women and testicular health in men. In both genders, this enhanced circulation creates a healthier reproductive environment. By increasing blood flow to the uterus, arginine promotes a thicker and more receptive uterine lining, which is critical for embryo implantation. Adequate uterine blood flow also contributes to overall egg quality, which is essential for successful fertilisation and early embryo development.
Arginine supports the production of hormones like growth hormone and insulin, both of which influence reproductive health. Balanced levels of these hormones are beneficial for processes such as ovulation in women and sperm production in men.
Arginine is a precursor for the molecules putrescine, spermidine and spermine, all of which have been shown to be important for maintaining sperm motility.Arginine is one of the key ingredients in pre-Conceive. One daily serving provides 5,000mg of Arginine.
This is up to 50 times more than other, cheaper, fertility supplements.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine 1000mg
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a form of the amino acid carnitine that is involved in several important biological processes in the body. Carnitine is essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidised for energy production. This process is vital for all cells in the body, including those involved in reproduction.
Carnitine is concentrated in the testes and is vital for maintaining sperm quality. It contributes to Sperm Motility, Sperm Count: and Protection Against Oxidative Stress.
In women, carnitine plays a significant role in ovarian function and egg quality. Its contributions include energy supply for egg development. The oocyte (egg cell) is metabolically active and requires substantial energy for maturation and development. Carnitine helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria of oocytes, providing the necessary energy. Adequate energy supply during early stages of embryo development is critical for successful implantation and pregnancy.
Carnitine is one of the key ingredients in pre-Conceive. One daily serving provides 1,000mg of Carnitine.
Citrulline 1,500mg
Citrulline is included in pre-Conceive, as research shows that combining citrulline with arginine, leads to synergistic effects, amplifying their individual benefits on nitric oxide production. This leads to substantial improvements in conditions related to poor blood flow, including several aspects of fertility.
The testicles and ovaries need a continuous blood supply as our blood brings the required nutrients, oxygen and hormones to improve the quality of sperm and egg cell production.
pre-Conceive’s formula, containing both citrulline and arginine, supports the body in improving its blood flow, which improves the delivery of the essential materials for sperm and egg development. These essential nutritional materials that support the development of egg and sperm cells, like CoQ10, Folate and Omega-3, are all included in our formula to improve both male and female fertility.
L-citrulline is one of the key ingredients in pre-Conceive. One daily serving provides 1,500mg of L-citrulline.
Cysteine 1,200mg
Cysteine is important for both male and female fertility due to its roles in antioxidant defence, hormone regulation, and overall reproductive health.
Cysteine is crucial for glutathione production because it is one of the three amino acids that make up the structure of glutathione, along with glutamate and glycine. Cysteine is the rate-limiting amino acid in the synthesis of glutathione. This means that the availability of cysteine directly influences the amount of glutathione the body can produce. While glutamate and glycine are also needed, cysteine is often the most limiting factor in this process.
Cysteine, through its role in Glutathione synthesis, plays a vital role in detoxifying harmful substances and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Oxidative Stress, refers to an imbalance between free radicals (which can damage cells) and antioxidants (which protect cells). By ensuring adequate cysteine availability, the body can maintain optimal glutathione levels, thereby enhancing its detoxification capacity and overall antioxidant defence.
Adequate levels of cysteine help improve sperm quality, motility, and overall health. By contributing to glutathione synthesis, cysteine helps protect sperm from oxidative damage, which is crucial for their ability to fertilise an egg. Cysteine supports the health of oocytes (eggs) by reducing oxidative stress. Higher levels of glutathione are associated with better egg quality, which is essential for successful fertilisation and embryo development.
Glutamine 500mg
Glutamine is a vital component of the pre-Conceive formula. Glutamine, along with Cysteine & Glycine, help to form the powerful antioxidant Glutathione.
Glutathione is an anti-oxidant that protects the ovary, womb, testes and relevant sperm ducts from harmful substances that can disrupt reproductive health.
Oxidative Stress, refers to an imbalance between free radicals (which can damage cells) and antioxidants (which protect cells). Oxidative stress can lead to poor sperm motility or morphology in men and can disrupt the regular function of ovaries in females. Glutamine, through its role in Glutathione synthesis, neutralises these free radicals, protecting eggs and sperm from oxidative stress that can damage DNA and cell health. Glutathione levels naturally decline with age, and higher levels are associated with healthier eggs, reducing age-related fertility decline. In men, glutathione helps protect sperm from oxidative damage, supporting improved sperm motility, count, and DNA integrity. Glutamine can help to regulate hormones that are crucial for reproductive function. Proper hormonal balance is essential for ovulation and overall fertility in women.
Glutathione also plays a crucial role in the development of the foetus and placenta, as it helps with cellular differentiation – the process where a less specialised cell type becomes more specialised as the embryo continues to develop.
NB: Glutathione supplements are poorly absorbed, due to low bioavailability. To increase glutathione levels effectively, supplementing the body with its precursor amino acids (cysteine, glutamate, and glycine), is far more effective.
Glycine 500mg
Glycine is an amino acid, a building block for protein. Glycine is also a contributing member in creating the antioxidant Glutathione, as well as Glutamine and Cysteine. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found in cells. It helps combat oxidative stress by converting harmful free radicals into less damaging molecules, thereby protecting sperm and ovarian cells from oxidative damage.
In addition, Glycine supplementation can help to lower cortisol levels, which is the body’s primary stress hormone. Elevated cortisol can lead to a variety of stress-related issues, including anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It helps to calm neuronal excitability, which can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
Glycine is considered a glucogenic amino acid, which means it helps supply the body with glucose needed for energy. It helps regulate blood sugar levels, and thus glycine supplementation may be useful for treating symptoms characterised by low energy and fatigue, such as hypoglycaemia, anaemia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), whilst supporting PCOS symptoms.
Glycine is one of the key ingredients in pre-Conceive. One daily serving provides 500mg of Glycine.

It is a key component of selenoproteins, like glutathione peroxidase, which protects sperm cells from oxidative stress and supports proper flagellar movement (the tail-like structure that enables sperm to swim). Selenium’s antioxidant properties protect the Leydig cells in the testes, which are responsible for producing testosterone. Selenium helps maintain the DNA integrity of sperm cells. By reducing oxidative stress and preventing DNA damage, selenium improves the chances of producing healthy, viable sperm that can successfully fertilise an egg.
Like in males, selenium supports the activity of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which reduces oxidative stress in the ovaries. Healthy levels of selenium can improve egg quality by minimising oxidative damage that can affect follicular development (the process by which eggs mature in the ovaries).
Zinc 30mg
Zinc is essential for the production and development of sperm, a process called spermatogenesis. It aids in cell division, DNA synthesis, and the overall maturation of sperm cells.
Zinc deficiency can lead to reduced sperm count, poor sperm quality, and abnormalities in sperm morphology (shape and structure). Zinc is crucial for maintaining the integrity of sperm membranes and supporting sperm motility (the ability of sperm to move effectively). Adequate zinc levels contribute to improved motility, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilisation. Zinc helps protect sperm DNA from oxidative damage and reduces the likelihood of sperm DNA fragmentation. This is important for ensuring that sperm can successfully fertilise an egg and contribute to healthy embryo development.
Zinc is essential for the development and maturation of oocytes (egg cells) in the ovaries. It supports cell division and DNA replication, which are critical for producing healthy, viable eggs. Zinc deficiency can lead to poor egg quality and impaired maturation, reducing the chances of successful conception. Zinc plays a key role in regulating female reproductive hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Zinc is crucial during the early stages of embryo development, as it supports proper cell division and growth. A lack of zinc during this stage can lead to poor embryo quality and may increase the risk of early miscarriage.
Like in males, zinc functions as an antioxidant in females, protecting eggs from oxidative stress and damage. This is crucial for maintaining the health and viability of eggs, especially in the face of aging or environmental stressors.

Malic Acid
We use malic acid to improve the taste of pre-Conceive. Malic Acid, whilst technically an acid, it has an alkalising effect once metabolised in the body. This helps maintain a balanced pH, preventing excessive acidity that can contribute to conditions like acid reflux and gastrointestinal discomfort. It provides an additional taste experience, while being beneficial to your health.
