The Pineapple has become the face of the infertility community in recent years. In spite of its iconic image, we do not recommend consuming large amounts of pineapple while trying to conceive at this time. Pineapple does offer the antioxidant beta-carotene but unfortunately contains an enzyme called bromelain. Consuming bromelain in the form of a dietary supplement is discouraged, as the dose may be too high and can actually impede conception.

Overall pineapples are presumed to help boost fertility because they are rich in nutrients like vitamin C, beta carotene, copper, zinc, and folate, but too much might be a bad thing.
