ConceptionXR® Reproductive Health Formula (90-day supply)

Q. What is the difference between ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula and Motility Support Formula?

ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula provides a base formula of high-dose antioxidants (vitamins C, E, and selenium), methylated folate and other nutrients designed to promote sperm structure and function in 2 tablets a day.* In total men will take 2 tablets a day.

ConceptionXR Motility Support Formula provides the same base formula as Reproductive Health in 2 tablets, with additional vitamin D and L-carnitine in two capsules a day to support healthy sperm motility.* Sperm motility (the ability of the sperm to swim) is especially important for men trying to father a pregnancy through natural conception or IUI. In total men will take 2 tablets and 2 capsules every day.

Do not take both ConceptionXR products. Take ONE ConceptionXR product or the other. Taking both products together would provide a higher dose of nutrients than is recommended.

Q. Who is likely to benefit from ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula?

Any man who is trying to father a pregnancy could benefit by taking ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula. Men with low sperm motility may want to consider ConceptionXR Motility Support Formula because of the L-carnitine's added benefit to sperm motility.*


Q. How long should I take ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula?

ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula should be taken for at least three months because it takes that long for sperm to be produced. It should be continued until pregnancy is achieved, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Medications to control seizures (phenobarbital, Dilantin®, or others): High-dose folate which are found in ConceptionXR Reproductive Health can interact with these medications and possibly worsen seizures.

Medications that are changed by the liver Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP34) substrates - CYP34 are important enzymes in your body, mainly found in the liver to break down medications in the body. Vitamin D may increase how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Taking ConceptionXR Reproductive Health, which contains 25 mcg (1,000 IU) vitamin D, along with some medications may decrease the effectiveness of some medications. Before taking ConceptionXR Reproductive Health, talk to your health care provider.

ConceptionXR Reproductive Health Formula may also affect the absorption of certain prescriptions as follows:

Antibiotics: Zinc (in ConceptionXR Reproductive Health) can bind to antibiotics in the stomach and reduce their absorption and effectiveness. Depending on the antibiotic prescribed, you may need to separate taking any multivitamins from antibiotics by at least 2 to possibly 6 hours or discontinue taking a supplement while taking the antibiotic. Please discuss with your pharmacist and health care team to determine if you should stop taking ConceptionXR Reproductive Health for a short period of time.

Digoxin (Lanoxin)– This medication helps the heart beat more strongly. Taking vitamin D (in ConceptionXR Reproductive Health) at the same time as this medication may increase the effectiveness of this medication. Separate by 2 hours.

Thiazide diuretics (aka: water pills) – These medications are used to treat high blood pressure, congestive heart failure as well as the accumulation of fluid and swelling (edema) in the body. These medications also increase the amount of calcium in the body. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Taking ConceptionXR Reproductive Health, which contains 25 mcg (1,000 IU) vitamin D, along with these medications may cause too much calcium in the body.
