CCRM in one of the leading fertility clinics in the United States. They recently launched a new study to look at the benefits of taking DHEA with Acai Berry, an anti-oxidant that is believed to help with anti-aging. Their doctors are hopeful that taking these supplements will have similar results to lab tests in mice where embryo quality was significantly improved. The women will take 875mg of a freeze dried acai berry along with DHEA 25mg three times a day for 12 weeks. Because I am doing my final round of IVF in three months, I want to make sure I do everything that I can to improve the results. Since I am not a patient at CCRM and cannot be part of their study, I talked with my doctor and will be adding the supplement to my 90 day fertility challenge. After a lot of research, I found the brand that CCRM is using, NOW Foods Acai Powder. I ordered my container and should receive it tomorrow, so I'm starting it a few days late, but I'm sure I will still get the benefits. **Update** I received my Acai Powder and have been taking it once a day. I add 1/2 tspn to a little bit of OJ and stir for about a minute. It tastes great, so this is a delightful addition to my Fertility Challenge. |
