About the event

 

Join us as Anne Howard, Chair of the Royal College of Nursing Fertility Nurse Forum guides us through how supplements can support reproductive health — and when they might do more harm than good.

Together, we’ll explore which vitamins and minerals are evidence-based for fertility, how to choose high-quality products, and the potential risks of over-supplementation or mixing with medications. We’ll also discuss realistic strategies for maintaining nutritional balance when life feels too busy for perfect habits.

Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, undergoing treatment, or simply wanting to optimise your wellbeing, this session offers clear, science-backed guidance and the chance to ask your own questions in a supportive, expert-led setting.
