FAQ
Why should I choose CORE3 over other supplements?
CORE3 was created by an NHS doctor who experienced six pregnancy losses before finally welcoming her rainbow baby.
Following her sixth loss, she sought care from a fertility clinic and was advised to focus on three of the most rigorously researched nutrients in fertility science, at the higher doses actually used in the clinical studies.
That approach became the foundation of her seventh pregnancy—the pregnancy that resulted in her rainbow baby—and ultimately inspired the creation of CORE3.
CORE3 is the HIGHEST DOSE single capsule fertility supplement out there.*
It delivers:
- 450 mg high-purity CoQ10
- 4,000 IU (100 μg) Vitamin D3
- 1,003 μg L-5-Methylfolate
—all in just one daily capsule.
✓ One capsule a day
Many believed it wasn't possible to deliver these doses in a single capsule. Working alongside leading PhD formulation scientists, we proved otherwise.
✓ Designed to replace your fertility supplement stack
Fertility journeys shouldn't involve swallowing a handful of capsules every day. CORE3 was designed to replace a cupboard full of fertility supplements—not add to it. By delivering meaningful amounts of three of the most extensively researched nutrients in fertility science, all in one convenient daily capsule, CORE3 is designed to simplify your routine.
✓ Doctor-founded
CORE3 combines medical knowledge with firsthand experience of recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility treatment and the emotional reality of trying to conceive.
✓ Inspired by a real success story
The formulation was inspired by the evidence-informed approach our founder adopted before conceiving her rainbow baby. While every fertility journey is unique and no supplement can guarantee pregnancy, that experience shaped the philosophy behind CORE3.
✓ Built around the clinical literature
Rather than filling capsules with dozens of ingredients at token doses, CORE3 focuses on three nutrients selected because of the strength of the scientific literature surrounding them and the evidence-informed approach that inspired its creation.
✓ High-purity ingredients
Exceptional ingredients, carefully sourced for their purity, quality and consistency—because every capsule matters.
✓ Fair Pricing over profits
Although CORE3 is a premium, high-grade supplement, our mission is to make doctor-created, evidence-informed fertility support more accessible. That's why we've chosen fair pricing over excessive profit margins. Supporting more people on their fertility journey matters more to us than maximising every sale.
✓ Beyond the formula
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the capsule. Every CORE3 order is packaged using reusable glass and 100% plastic-free, biodegradable and recyclable materials, reflecting the growing scientific interest in microplastics and reproductive health.
✓ Quality without compromise
Vegan, Halal, UK manufactured to GMP standards, and packaged in reusable frosted glass bottles.
✓ Independently Third-Party Tested
Every batch of CORE3 is independently third-party tested to verify quality, purity and safety, giving you complete confidence in every capsule.
*CORE3 is the highest-dose single-capsule fertility supplement we've identified with these specific ingredients. Based on our review of UK fertility supplements available at the time of comparison. Competitor formulations may change over time.
Why these 3 ingredients?
Let’s talk about the science behind the Core3 ingredients.
CoQ10 (450mg): The mitochondria ingredient
Every egg cell contains thousands of mitochondria. These tiny structures act as the cell's power stations, producing the energy required for maturation, fertilisation and early embryo development.
As women age, mitochondrial function naturally declines. This is one of the reasons CoQ10 has become one of the most widely used supplements in fertility clinics worldwide.
A randomised controlled trial in women with diminished ovarian reserve found that CoQ10 supplementation improved ovarian response, fertilisation rates and embryo quality compared with controls. Other studies have shown benefits for mitochondrial function and ovarian response in women undergoing fertility treatment.
That's why CoQ10 isn't just included in CORE3 — it's the very foundation of the formulation. At 450mg per capsule, it's provided at a dose that sits at the higher end of the range used in clinical fertility research.
Vitamin D3 (4,000 IU): The overlooked fertility nutrient
Vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common, particularly in the UK.
What's fascinating is that vitamin D receptors are found throughout the reproductive system, including the ovaries, endometrium and placenta. Research has linked adequate vitamin D levels with improved reproductive markers, healthier ovulatory function and better IVF outcomes.
Many women discover they are deficient only after fertility testing.
Rather than providing a token amount, CORE3 delivers 4,000 IU of vegan vitamin D3 — the maximum daily level considered safe for long-term use by European regulators and a dose commonly used to restore and maintain healthy vitamin D levels.
Methylfolate (1,003mcg): Folate in its active form
Most fertility supplements contain folic acid.
CORE3 contains methylfolate (5-MTHF), the biologically active form of folate that your body can use immediately.
Folate plays a critical role in DNA synthesis, methylation and the rapid cell division that occurs during conception and early embryonic development. It is also one of the most important nutrients to optimise before pregnancy.
Importantly, methylfolate bypasses the conversion steps required for folic acid. This is particularly relevant because a significant proportion of the population carry MTHFR genetic variants that can reduce the efficiency of folic acid metabolism.
A note on folate: NHS guidance recommends taking folic acid daily while trying to conceive and until 12 weeks of pregnancy. CORE3 intentionally uses methylfolate—the bioavailable 5-MTHF form of folate that does not require the same conversion steps as folic acid.
How do I take CORE3?
Take one capsule daily with water, preferably with a meal.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake unless advised by your healthcare professional.
When should I start taking CORE3, and how long for?
CORE3 can be started at any point before conception, although many women choose to begin several months before trying to conceive.
Because follicle and egg development takes place gradually over several months, consistent daily supplementation is important. CORE3 should be taken throughout your preconception journey and continued until you receive a positive pregnancy test, unless otherwise advised by your healthcare professional.
We recommend the 90-day protocol because it provides a meaningful period of consistent use and offers the best value per day. It is not a fixed course—simply reorder every 90 days and continue for as long as you are trying to conceive.
Do I need to take any other fertility supplements alongside CORE3?
For most people trying to conceive, CORE3 is designed to replace your supplement stack and make your daily routine simpler.
It combines three of the most clinically studied fertility nutrients—high-strength CoQ10, methylfolate and vitamin D3—in just one capsule a day, helping to replace multiple separate supplements with one simple daily formula.
Individual nutritional needs can vary. If you have a medical condition or have been advised or prescribed additional supplementation, including high-dose folic acid, continue to follow your healthcare professional’s advice.
Is the CORE3 supplement suitable for vegans?
Absolutely! The capsule shell is made from plant-derived hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) rather than animal-derived gelatin.
The vitamin D3 used in CORE3 is sourced from lichen, making it suitable for vegan diets.
Is CORE3 suitable for a halal diet?
Absolutely! We know how difficult it can be to find fertility supplements that contain no gelatin or other animal-derived ingredients.
CORE3 contains no animal-derived gelatin, pork-derived ingredients, or alcohol. The capsule shell is made from plant-derived HPMC, and the product is manufactured by a halal-certified supplement manufacturer.
How is Ovare able to offer free UK delivery?
We cover the full cost of Royal Mail Tracked 48 UK delivery on every order. That means the price you see is the price you pay—there are no additional delivery charges at checkout.
As a young, independent business, absorbing these costs isn’t the easiest decision, but it’s one we’ve chosen to make. While we can’t promise free delivery forever, we’re committed to covering it for as long as we reasonably can while we continue to grow and establish Ovare.
Rather than treating delivery as a profit centre, we’d rather invest in a better customer experience. It’s one of the many ways we’re committed to delivering exceptional value—from premium, high-purity ingredients and UK manufacturing to luxury, plastic-free packaging and free UK delivery.
Can I continue CORE3 once I'm pregnant?
CORE3 contains higher doses of nutrients than are found in many standard prenatal supplements. If you become pregnant, we recommend discussing your supplements with your doctor, midwife or fertility specialist. They can advise whether to continue CORE3 or switch to a pregnancy-specific prenatal supplement based on your individual needs.
Will you be adding any more products?
Only if there’s a genuine need. CORE3 was a labour of love, created to solve a problem our founder experienced herself after six pregnancy losses. It wasn’t born from a desire to create another supplement—it was created because she couldn’t find the product she needed.
Our first priority has always been education. Through Ovare, we hope to raise awareness of fertility struggles, recurrent miscarriage and the clinical support that’s available, helping more people feel informed, supported and empowered to advocate for themselves.
We’ll only introduce new products if they genuinely add value. Every formulation will be doctor-led, evidence-informed and designed to simplify fertility support, not encourage taking more supplements than necessary.
What is Ovare's commitment to sustainability?
Sustainability has been considered at every stage of our packaging. Every order is carefully protected using premium honeycomb paper wrap (Hivewrap) and shipped in fully recyclable, biodegradable, plastic-free packaging.
CORE3 itself is housed in a premium, sustainably sourced glass bottle, chosen for both its quality and recyclability. We believe exceptional products deserve exceptional packaging—without relying on unnecessary plastics.
We also recognise the growing scientific interest in the potential effects of microplastics on human health, including reproductive health. While the evidence is still evolving and we make no health claims about our packaging, reducing unnecessary plastic use is a choice we believe is better for both the environment and the future.
From the bottle to the delivery box, every packaging decision has been made with quality, sustainability and attention to detail in mind.
