Intermed FertilFix Woman: supplement for the woman planning pregnancy
The Intermed FertilFix Woman is a dietary supplement in a package of 30 coated tablets, which is one month with the manufacturer's dosage regimen. Its formulation combines vitamins, metals, trace elements and amino acids with omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA), coenzyme Q10 and extracts of green tea and licorice. It is gluten-free.
The manufacturer designed it to support the female reproductive system. It is usually chosen by women who are preparing for conception and want a complete package in one tablet per day, instead of many separate supplements. It does not replace medical supervision: when conception is delayed, the first step is always to consult the gynecologist.
Preparation before conception
The months before a pregnancy are a period where many women review their diet, sleep, exercise and smoking. The maturation of an ovum takes several months, which is why experts usually talk about at least three months of preparation rather than a last-minute solution. This is also the reason behind the manufacturer's recommendation for continuous intake of at least three months.
A supplement like FertilFix Woman fits into this context as a dietary supplement. It does not promise pregnancy and should not be read as such. It works best as part of a comprehensive plan that you have discussed with your doctor.
Ingredients one by one
- Vitamins, metals, trace elements and amino acids. They form the basis of the formula. The detailed table with the quantities per tablet is listed on the product packaging.
- DHA and EPA. The two main omega-3 fatty acids found mainly in fatty fish. They are among the most studied nutrients in the diet of women of reproductive age.
- Coenzyme Q10. A substance produced by the body itself and involved in energy production within the mitochondria of cells. Its production decreases with age and is a subject of research in the field of reproductive health.
- Green tea extract. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is rich in polyphenols, mainly catechins.**
- Licorice extract. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has a long tradition in phytotherapy and is studied for its relationship with the woman's hormonal balance.**
For which women is it suitable
For women planning pregnancy and wanting to supplement their diet with a comprehensive package. For those following an assisted reproduction program and whose doctor has recommended a supplement of this type. And for those who do not often eat fish and want a source of DHA and EPA along with the other vitamins.

Frequently asked questions
How long should I take FertilFix Woman?
The manufacturer recommends at least 3 months of continuous intake, i.e., three packages, unless your doctor specifies otherwise.
Do I take it on an empty stomach?
No. The tablet is taken with a meal, which also helps with the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids.
What if I get pregnant?
Inform your gynecologist immediately. The composition contains licorice and green tea, components for which the doctor will decide whether to continue taking it or replace it with a pregnancy preparation.
Can I take it if I have hypertension?
Licorice in high or prolonged doses may affect blood pressure and potassium levels. If you have hypertension or are taking antihypertensives or diuretics, ask your doctor first.
Is it compatible with another supplement with folic acid?
Since the formula already contains vitamins and minerals, do not add another multivitamin without your doctor's consent to avoid exceeding the maximum intake levels.
Is there a corresponding product for men?
Yes, FertilFix Man has its own formulation for men, with carnitine, arginine and coenzyme Q10, and is taken in a dose of 2 tablets daily.
