Zita West Products were created over 20 years ago with the aim of helping couples try to achieve their fertility goals, over the years they have developed a range of supplements to help couples to make their dreams of starting a family come true.
Zita is one of the UK’s leading authors on everything to do with getting pregnant and being pregnant, she has also been a midwife for 40 years, so has a wealth of experience. Zita has always had an interest in natural – as well as medical approaches – to both fertility and pregnancy and how to combine them to their maximum advantage.
After having terrible morning sickness with both of her babies as well as mild postnatal depression after her second, Zita became very interested in looking at natural medicines. She tried acupuncture and found that it really helped her as a natural relief to her pregnancy ailments. This pushed Zita to train in acupuncture with a focus on pregnancy and to study nutrition knowing it can make a huge difference in helping someone conceive.
In 2001 the Zita West Clinic was opened with the specific mission to help support couples to get in the best possible shape for fertility and pregnancy and to find solutions for those who are having problems. Then the range of vitamin and mineral supplements for male and female fertility, pregnancy and the postnatal period were created.
In 2011 they launched their first IVF programme which proved to be incredibly successful, with some of the best pregnancy rates in the UK.
With Zita West’s products, you can shop by stage for both male and female fertility as well as egg health and IVF support. The Female Foundation Fertility Support Pack is for women looking to support their fertility and a great starting point for those new to Zita West Products.

It is vital to ensure that the body has an optimum level of nutrient intake during the preconception stage. During this stage, many factors may affect the length of the preconception period and also the future health of the child. The Zita West Female Fertility Support pack helps to deliver all of the vitamins, minerals and friendly bacteria that your body needs.
Vitafem – contains an array of vitamins and minerals which have been researched to support egg quality and hormonal balance. Including 400mg of folic acid in the active form folate for the body to use.
Femceive – Femceive is a fertility friendly bacteria supplement that has been specifically formulated to achieve a balanced endometrial-vaginal microbiota and prepare the optimal environment for preconception. Each pot contains 34 capsules which has been specifically formulated to cover an entire fertility cycle.
Psyllium Husk – accompaniment to your daily friendly bacteria supplement. Psyllium Husk helps feed the bacteria to grow and thrive in your gut.
Vital DHA – the egg cell requires different nutrients for different parts. The outer layer (the cell membrane) requires essential fatty acids Omega 3 and DHA. DHA also helps protect DNA from oxidative damage as well as to support normal fertility and healthy sperm production. Vital DHA provides Omega 3 fatty acids plus a zinc which is vital for cell division after fertilisation.
Vitamin D – Vitamin D levels can be considered key to egg development, especially for women going through IVF. Our Vitamin D spray is a high dose, daily spray in the form of D3 which is able to more effectively raise vitamin D levels.
Zita believes that in 10 years’ time people will automatically go online as the first port of call for many aspects of their healthcare and with Zita West Online they’re able to play a part now in making this happen.
