I get questions about vitamins and supplements for hormone balance constantly. While my #1 recommendation is always to get nutrients from food first, targeted, high-quality supplements ensure your body always has what it needs to keep hormones in balance—even on days when you miss a meal, eat out, or don’t sleep enough.
Below are the 12 supplements I recommend to every client—whether you’re trying to conceive, already pregnant, postpartum, or simply want to balance your hormones and feel better. Each includes exact dosing, the specific hormones it targets, and product links.

Before jumping to supplements, it helps to understand what’s driving the imbalance:
Supplements address the nutrient and biochemical piece of this puzzle. But they work best alongside a nourishing diet, stress management, and toxin reduction. Read more: Fix Your Hormone Imbalance.
If you’re taking folic acid, stop now. Synthetic folic acid is not normally found in foods or the body. While it can be converted into usable folate, that conversion is limited, and unabsorbed folic acid blocks receptor sites for naturally occurring folate. An overabundance has been linked to poor detoxification, increased inflammation, and miscarriages. Read my full breakdown: Why You Shouldn’t Take Folic Acid.
Similarly, avoid standard OTC multivitamins. They contain synthetic, non-absorbable forms that interfere with natural nutrient absorption. Always opt for food first, and when supplementing, use the highest quality bioavailable forms.
Product: Prenatal Pro Essential Bundle. Even if you’re not trying to get pregnant, this prenatal bundle covers all of your needs for healthy hormones. Prenatal Pro contains bioavailable forms of every essential nutrient including: methylfolate (NatureFolate), OsteoForce multimineral contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C/D/K, and OmegAvail Hi Po fish oil contains 800 mg EPA + 900 mg DHA. The earlier you start, the more nutrient stores you’ll have when your body needs them.
Dose: Start 1 capsule daily, increase to 2 capsules over 7 days. Product: ProbioSpore. Essential for gut and vaginal microbiome health. Your gut metabolizes estrogen—a disrupted microbiome means estrogen recirculates, causing dominance. Probiotics also bolster immune function. Can be used as vaginal suppository a few times weekly while trying to conceive.
Dose: 5,000 IU daily with a fat-containing meal. Product: Vitamin D Supreme. Optimal blood level range: 50–80 ng/mL. Healthy vitamin D dramatically reduces gestational diabetes and preeclampsia risk, and research shows significant correlation between vitamin D levels and fertility outcomes. Vitamin D acts as a prohormone and is essential for proper estrogen production.
Dose: 300–400 mg at bedtime. Product: Magnesium Glycinate (2–3 capsules at bedtime). Magnesium regulates the pituitary gland, which controls hormone levels. It helps heal PMS, PCOS, adrenal fatigue, and cycle-related problems. Also promotes deep sleep and reduces cortisol. Most women are deficient.
Dose: 100–200 mg daily. Product: DIM-Evail. DIM breaks down and removes excess estrogen, helping your body metabolize excess estrogen and improve progesterone levels—critical for estrogen dominance, endometriosis, and fibroids. STOP WHEN PREGNANT.
Dose: 50–100 mg daily. Product: P-5-P. B6 reduces blood estrogen, increases progesterone, and improves PMS symptoms. Research shows women with high B6 levels have 50% lower miscarriage rates. Also supports serotonin production for mood regulation.
Dose: 2 capsules 2x daily away from meals. Product: Inflammatone. One of the best natural treatments for endometriosis, fibroids, blocked tubes, cysts, and scar tissue. Enzymes reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and digest excess tissues from imbalanced hormones. DO NOT TAKE WHILE PREGNANT.
Dose: 1 capsule 3x daily with meals. Product: Adrenotone. Contains adaptogenic herbs that directly support adrenal health, balance cortisol, support healthy menstrual cycles, and optimize energy. Essential if you experience any kind of chronic stress.
Dose: 2 capsules daily. Product: Detox Antiox. Combats free radicals and assists your body’s natural detoxification of environmental chemicals and heavy metals that disrupt hormones.
Dose: 200 mg daily. Product: CoQnol. Your body’s primary antioxidant—critical for cellular energy production. Production declines with age. Improves egg quality for women TTC and supports mitochondrial health. A 2025 review confirmed CoQ10 enhances ovarian function and embryo quality.
Dose: 400–500 mg daily, taken in the morning. Vitex is the #1 researched herb for hormonal balance. It supports the pituitary gland, increases progesterone, reduces prolactin, and promotes regular ovulation. Multiple studies show improved cycle regularity after 3–6 months. Particularly effective for luteal phase defects, PMS, and irregular periods. Do not use while on hormonal birth control or during pregnancy.
Dose: 30-60 mg daily with food. Product: Zinc Supreme. Zinc is essential for ovulation, progesterone production, and thyroid function. It also supports immune health and reduces inflammation. Women with PCOS, endometriosis, and thyroid issues are frequently zinc-deficient. Take with food to avoid nausea. Best paired with copper (2 mg) to prevent imbalance.
PCOS: Prenatal, vitamin D, magnesium, DIM, inositol (myo + D-chiro), zinc, probiotics, CoQ10. See: Natural Remedies for PCOS
Endometriosis: Prenatal, DIM, proteolytic enzymes, omega-3, curcumin, NAC, magnesium. See: Natural Remedies for Endometriosis
Estrogen Dominance: DIM, probiotics, B6, magnesium, detox support, bioidentical progesterone. See: Natural Remedies for Estrogen Dominance
Low Progesterone: Vitex, B6, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, bioidentical progesterone. See: Natural Remedies for Low Progesterone
Thyroid Imbalance: Vitamin D, selenium (200 mcg), zinc, B vitamins, adrenal support, probiotics.
Supplements work best when you know what you’re addressing. I recommend testing the following supplements before starting a protocol.
Order an at-home comprehensive hormone test or request these from your provider.
The Essentials (everyone): Prenatal, probiotics, vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3 (in prenatal bundle), CoQ10.
Add for hormone balance: DIM, B6, Vitex, zinc.
Add for inflammation/scar tissue: Proteolytic enzymes, detox support.
Add for stress: Adrenal support (Adrenotone).
If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you’re still not pregnant — or you have a diagnosis like PCOS, endometriosis, or poor egg quality and nothing is working — there’s almost always something deeper that hasn’t been found yet.
Standard fertility testing rarely evaluates the factors that actually determine whether pregnancy happens: egg quality, ovulation quality, metabolic health, inflammation, nutrient status, and how your body responds to stress.
After nearly 20 years and hundreds of clients, I’ve found that most fertility struggles come down to a small number of hidden biological drivers. When those drivers are identified and addressed in the right order, the body responds.
That’s exactly what we uncover inside The Fertility Code — my 12-week, high-touch fertility program for women who are done guessing. We find what’s been missed and build a clear, personalized strategy around your body, your labs, and your history.
With 1:1 coaching, direct access between calls, lab reviews, evidence-based content, and structured accountability, you get expert eyes on your case so you can stop second-guessing and start moving forward with clarity.
Over 90% of the women I work with go on to conceive.
