Custard apple (also called cherimoya or sitaphal) can be a great fertility-friendly fruit when you’re trying to get pregnant. Here’s why:
🌿 Fertility Benefits of Custard Apple

- The vitamin B6 content helps regulate progesterone levels and reduce PMS-related hormonal fluctuations — important for ovulation.
- Improves digestion and nutrient absorption
Its natural fiber helps maintain healthy digestion, which supports nutrient absorption — key for fertility health. - Rich in antioxidants
- Helps reduce oxidative stress on eggs and sperm, improving their quality.
- May support healthy weight and blood sugar
- The fruit’s natural sugars are balanced by fiber, which can help keep blood sugar steady — important for women with PCOS or irregular cycles.
