Common questions

What snacks help fertility?

Brazil nuts (selenium), pumpkin and hemp seeds (zinc), walnuts (omega-3) and berries with full-fat yogurt (antioxidants and calcium) cover the main levers between meals.

How many Brazil nuts a day for selenium?

Two per person covers a full day's selenium - and stop there. Selenium accumulates quickly, and more is not better.

Is dark chocolate OK when trying to conceive?

In moderation, yes - it even brings antioxidants and magnesium. Just remember it contains caffeine, so count it toward the daily total.
