Introduction: Over the last few decades, fertility has declined globally to unprecedented low levels. Objective: Main goal was to determine whether the micronutrient supplements have any impact on female fertility. Method: It was prospective observational study with total of 142 patients. Inclusion criteria included 12 months of failed conception. Exclusion criteria include the presence of hydrosalpinges, stage III/IV endometriosis, use of donor sperm etc. Result: For vitamins C and E, mean nutritional intake surpassed the estimated average requirement (EAR). There were no variations in antioxidant consumption across the groups. In multivariable models, women with a body mass index (BMI) of R25 kg/m2 had shorter TTP when they took vitamin B6 from dietary supplements. Vitamin C from dietary supplements was also linked to a shorter TTP among women with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: Women with a BMI of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin C intake increased, while women with a BMIR of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin B6 intake increased.
