Every fertility journey is unique, and nutritional needs evolve across each stage.

Fertimax Choline is formulated to support women’s nutritional requirements before conception, during pregnancy, and postnatally, by providing choline, an essential nutrient involved in cellular function, liver metabolism, and nervous system activity, as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Choline requirements increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and dietary intake may be insufficient for some individuals. This supplement provides a convenient way to supplement daily choline intake during periods of increased nutritional demand.

Choline also participates in lipid transport and metabolism and helps support liver function.

- Supports choline intake across pre-conception, pregnancy and postnatal nutritional stages
- Helps support normal liver function
- Contributes to normal lipid transport and metabolism
- Plays an important role in normal cell membrane structure

Choline is an essential nutrient involved in several normal physiological processes. It is required for the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, and for phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, phospholipids that form important structural components of cell membranes.

Choline also participates in lipid transport and metabolism and helps support normal liver function.

Choline requirements change across different life stages. For women aged 19 years and older, the established adequate intake is 425 mg of choline per day, increasing to 450 mg during pregnancy and 550 mg during breastfeeding.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Choline is an essential nutrient, and recommended intake increases during pregnancy and breastfeeding. When using a choline supplement during these life stages, consider your overall dietary intake and any choline supplied by prenatal or other nutritional supplements.

Individual nutritional requirements may differ, and professional nutritional or medical guidance may be appropriate where there are specific health considerations.

Medication Interactions
Choline is not known to have clinically relevant interactions with medications. If you have specific medical circumstances or are using prescribed treatment, discuss your overall supplement routine with your healthcare professional.

Possible Effects of Excessive Intake
Very high total choline intake may cause fishy body odour, excessive sweating or salivation, nausea or vomiting, and low blood pressure. Do not exceed the recommended serving and consider choline obtained from other supplements.
