Researchers have  estimated that at least three multivitamins a week would eliminate a fifth of ovulatory infertility cases and taking six or more multi's a week reduced infertility by 41% compared to not taking any.

The use of up to 41 mg of Plant Based Iron a day reduced the risk of developing an ovulation disorder by about 70%. (Low doseage of Iron was not effective)

Following a  diet of  Low  animal protein , low GI  Carbohydrates and high-fat dairy was shown to boost a womans fertility. .

A high emphasis on Vegetable protein was recomended to reduce infertility risks as a High Animal protein Diet gave women a 41% greater risk of ovulatory infertility.

Consuming multivitamins and iron from plants and supplements , high fat dairy and monosaturated instead of trans fats could reduce infertility risk by as much as 66%. Adding weight control and physical activity was associated with 69% lower risk
