Female infertility

Overview

Female infertility has one reviewed supplement: L-Carnitine (WA 40; low effect size, evidence, and trust; one study). In women with prior unsuccessful IVF, taking 1000 mg daily for about three months did not increase egg count or fertilization rates but did improve embryo quality, with more embryos suitable for transfer and better-developed embryos reported in the trial.

The most reliable signal appeared in shorter-duration use, but findings need confirmation in larger trials before firm conclusions. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for the full entry and rating.
