Our Beginning:
It all started for us in 2011 with a female patient trying everything to conceive and a doctor who would not give up hope.

Our Vision:
We see in a world in which the latest scientific research is easily accessible, understandable and actionable to anyone seeking to optimize their reproductive health.
We exist to help people make the most of their reproductive lives.
Our Commitment:
Fertility Nutraceuticals is committed to a radically different approach, bringing to nutritional supplements rigorous science and quality control. Each of our products are developed by clinician research partners who bring their research and clinical expertise to product development.
All our products undergo a three-step quality control process, which includes a rare third-party testing of every batch at independent laboratories.
Our History:
Fertility Nutraceuticals was born out of real necessity, when reports from all over the world started suggesting that supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) may help many women with infertility in their journey to parenthood*. While many brands of DHEA were sold in the U.S. market, their quality and consistency, unfortunately, varied greatly. A reliable, high-quality, fertility-specific DHEA supplement* was urgently needed.
Established with this goal in mind, Fertility Nutraceuticals developed, as a first product, FERTINATAL®, which immediately became the market-leading fertility DHEA supplement in the U.S. This was achieved by closely cooperating with the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) in New York City, the internationally renowned fertility center that first introduced DHEA supplementation into fertility treatment.
CHR performed and published most of the initial DHEA supplementation studies in women with diminished ovarian reserve, and introduced DHEA into fertility care. This cooperation included the licensing of CHR's U.S. DHEA patents, and a commitment by Fertility Nutraceuticals to produce a fertility DHEA supplement fully equivalent to the DHEA the CHR physicians had been using in their clinical studies of DHEA and female fertility*.
It took almost a year to source the right DHEA, and develop the manufacturing process to produce the fertility DHEA supplement that fulfilled all the criteria laid out by the CHR*. However, in early 2011, when FERTINATAL® finally came to market, the attention to detail during the development phase immediately paid off. As the first and only plant-derived DHEA that is micronized to the same particle sizes used by the CHR in their research of DHEA's effects on ovarian reserve, egg quality, in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy chances and miscarriage rates, and as the only DHEA product on the market endorsed by the CHR for meeting CHR's rigorous manufacturing and quality control standards*, FERTINATAL® instantly became the market leader and "the brand" for fertility DHEA supplement.
The launch of FERTINATAL® in April 2012 was met with a robust response. Requests from women from all over the world—not just in the U.S.—confirmed the then-unmet demand for reliable, high-quality fertility supplements, which Fertility Nutraceuticals was originally established to fulfill.
