Vitamin C is an important nutrient ... and it also has some benefits when it comes to fertility.
It's an antioxidant, which means it can help to protect the cells, the egg, and the DNA from age-related damage. This damage is what contributes to a decline in fertility as we get older.
Vitamin C can also help with the production of progesterone, and this is shown to improve pregnancy rates, especially in those with luteal phase defects.
We also see that it can help to benefit pain in those with endometriosis.
And because of its use in collagen production, it can help to reduce pregnancy complications like preeclampsia and preterm labor.
