- Subfertility is a widespread issue, and this study researched how preconception micronutrient supplements might influence the time it takes to get pregnant among women.
- Conducted in Singapore, the study involved 908 women aged 18-45, measuring their supplement intake and sociodemographic characteristics to determine their fecundability.
- Results showed that folic acid and iodine supplementation linked to shorter time to pregnancy, while evening primrose oil seemed to have the opposite effect, suggesting further research is needed to confirm these findings.
