Nutritional supplements for improving female fertility

#The present invention relates to a fertility-enhancing composition for human female fertility therapy and a method for using the same to improve human female fertility.

#Female eggs in mammals are constantly subjected to stresses from physical, chemical, and biological sources that can result in conception problems due at least in part to poor or insufficient egg quality and or ovarian function. These problems may be compounded in the cases of female humans not receiving sufficient amount of nutrients.

#Attempts to improve egg quality can be hampered in the case where female human is under nourished or malnourished, thereby resulting in lack of requisite building blocks to promote oogenesis, i.e., egg production. Oogenesis results in the formation of a large cell having a variety of resources for the construction of the embryo. Thus, oogenesis requires a sufficient amount of various nutrients to provide the cellular building blocks to create proper cells. Some of the basic cellular building blocks include, but are not limited to, amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.

#Some aspects of the invention provide a single unit composition for improving female infertility without using a hormone therapy. The effects of the components of the composition of the invention have been shown by various researchers, but never before has a composition been provided that enhances or increases female infertility that is believed to be at least due in part to oxidative stress.

#In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough description of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Moreover, it is to be understood that the present disclosure includes possible combinations of such particular features. For example, where a particular feature is disclosed in the context of a particular aspect or embodiment of the invention, or a particular claim, that feature may also be used, to the extent possible, in combination with and/or in the context of other particular aspects and embodiments of the invention, and in the invention generally. In this manner, a wide variety of combination of embodiments and aspects of the invention are possible.

#The term “comprises” and grammatical equivalents thereof are used herein to mean that other components, ingredients, steps etc. are optionally present. For example, an article “comprising” (or “which comprises”) components A, B and C can consist of (i.e. contain only) components A, B and C, or can contain not only components A, B and C but also one or more other components. Where reference is made herein to a method comprising two or more defined steps, the defined steps can be carried out in any order or simultaneously (except where the context excludes that possibility), and the method can include one or more other steps which are carried out before any of the defined steps, between two of the defined steps, or after all the defined steps (except where the context excludes that possibility).
