NAC and Alpha Lipoic Acid

[Shwet_16]

hi,

I have been reading about NAC and Alpha Lipoic Acid for egg n sperm health.

Has anyone take these supplements and seen improved outcomes? Can I take these without consulting my clinic? Please let me know.

Thank you x

hi lovely,

I took NAC alongside ubiquinol before my 3rd egg collection and we had a huge increase in egg to blast ratio and quality. I can’t say for sure that this was the reason but if we were doing another egg collection I would 100% take them again.

You don’t need to talk to your clinic about them as they are just supplements.

I took 800mg ubiquinol and 1600 NAC (I think)

Let me double check the doses xx

For how long did you take the supplements

[Millbanks in reply to Nakijo]

So I took them for 3 months up to the day before egg collection then stopped.

800mg Ubiquinol and 1600mg NAC

I took both these during our recent ICSI cycle (3rd) and we had our first ever positive this week. Hubby also took Alpha Lipoic. As we had been recommended Impryl we were mindful of not taking too many additional supplements e.g. Q10 as per their advice.

Wishing you all the best!
