Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
MX3 is a supplement derived from the Mangosteen fruit, which is used as a traditional medicine in certain cultures.
Unfortunately, because this supplement is not truly a drug, it is not been tested for safety or effectiveness in a conventional scientific way. Therefore, there is no way to know what its effects may be on trying to conceive and
pregnancy. In addition, there is no evidence that this herbal supplement actually has any of the effects that are listed on the bottle, because supplements are not required to undergo testing in the same way as conventional drugs.
Certainly, there is no evidence that this medication will be harmful to you while you are actually trying to get pregnant. So if you desire, taking MX three while you are trying to become pregnant does not seem to be harmful. However, once you conceive, I would not recommend continuing the medication.
The only reliable supplementation that has been shown to increase the chance of a good pregnancy outcome is taking folic acid. Folic acid is involved in the development of the fetal brain and
spinal cord, and
folic acid deficiency is associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects. For that reason, women are recommended to take a
folic acid supplement of at least 400 mg when trying to conceive and during pregnancy.
So in summary, I would not recommend taking MX3 once you are pregnant, however taking it while you are trying to conceive is not likely to be harmful. However, there is no evidence that it will increase your chance of getting pregnant or help the health of your pregnancy. Only folic acid taken during preconception has been shown to improve pregnancy outcome.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr. Brown
