Are you already pregnant? Discover Prenatal Care Iodine-Free, our formula specifically developed for the nutritional needs of this new stage.
A formula of its own to prep the stage before pregnancy
Fertility Care Special Women (iodine-free) by EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement created for women who are in the preconception stage.
Its composition brings together zinc, iron, vitamins, N-acetyl L-cysteine, DHA from microalgae, and concentrated extracts of purple maca and chasteberry. We have selected each ingredient to build a complete, vegan, iodine-free formula with a clear purpose: use during the pre-pregnancy period.
Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. This property anchors the nutritional focus of the formula designed for the quest to pregnancy.
The vegetal core: purple maca and chasteberry
The formula starts from two classic botanical ingredients, in the form of concentrated extracts to transparently show the amount of plant material used in its production.
Purple maca 20:1
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant native to the Andean region. Among its varieties, we chose purple maca for this formulation aimed specifically at women.
- Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is an aphrodisiac.
- Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has a beneficial influence on fertility.
- Maca (Lepidium meyenii) contributes to a healthy sexual function naturally.
Chasteberry 4:1
The chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) completes the botanical profile of the formula. We use a 4:1 extract, a reference that allows you to know its concentration relative to the starting plant material.
The 20:1 and 4:1 ratios indicate how much plant material was used to obtain each part of extract. In this way, the concentration of both ingredients is clearly stated in a simple way.
More than extracts: a complete nutritional selection
Alongside purple maca and chasteberry, we’ve added nutrients that complete the preconception approach of the formula. Among them, zinc stands out, contributing to normal fertility and reproduction.
- Iron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron.
- Folate helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Vitamin B6 helps regulate hormonal activity.
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism.
- Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of bones in normal conditions.
We pay attention not only to which nutrients the product contains, but also to their forms. That’s why we use calcium methylfolate, methylcobalamin, cholecalciferol, and ferrochel® iron bisglycinate.
NAC and vegan DHA integrated in the formula
Fertility Care Special Women (iodine-free) includes N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) together with DHA sourced from microalgae oil. This sourcing allows DHA without using fish oil and keeps the composition vegan-friendly.
The microalgae oil is microencapsulated to be incorporated evenly into the rest of the capsule ingredients. That’s how we bring together in one product plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, NAC, and a plant-based fatty acid.
Iodine-free from the formula’s standpoint
The absence of iodine isn’t a random change from another product, but a core feature of Fertility Care Special Women (iodine-free). Its entire composition is designed to offer a preconception alternative that omits this mineral.
It may be of interest to women seeking an iodine-free formula within their nutritional planning. If you follow a specific guideline on iodine intake, take it into account when choosing the most suitable dietary supplement for you.
Preconception, vegan composition, and a complete nutritional selection without iodine.
A product for before; a prenatal formula for after
The timing of use is key to distinguish products. Fertility Care Special Women (iodine-free) corresponds to the stage when pregnancy is being sought. When pregnancy is confirmed, a phase with a different nutritional approach begins.
For pregnancy you can find Prenatal Care Iodine-Free developed specifically without this mineral for pregnancy. We also have Prenatal Care with iodine. The choice should be made according to each woman’s particular nutritional requirements.

The DHA comes from microalgae oil and is microencapsulated. Since it doesn’t come from fish, it fits the product’s vegan approach.
