Can supplements improve fertility or IVF outcomes in endometriosis?

Some supplements are studied for supporting egg quality and lowering oxidative stress—factors that can matter in fertility and IVF—but the evidence specifically in people with endometriosis is mixed and not definitive. That means supplements may be a helpful adjunct for some patients, but they’re unlikely to be a stand-alone solution for endometriosis-related infertility.

In our practice, we view supplements as one piece of an individualized reproductive plan, especially when you’re preparing for IVF or actively in a cycle. Timing and dosing can matter, and some fertility protocols pause certain antioxidants during stimulation, so we help you weigh potential benefits against possible interference with your treatment plan. If you’d like, our team can review what you’re taking (or considering) and align it with your fertility goals and next steps.
