Effect on fertility biomarkers

Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme) has been shown to have a positive effect on female fertility. In studies with rabbits, where ovarian function was intentionally blocked, thyme helped restore ovulation similarly to a fertility drug (Purugon). Rabbits that consumed thyme showed a restart of egg development and the presence of mature eggs, ready for ovulation, indicating that thyme may help improve fertility. Additionally, thyme, when combined with 17β-estradiol, increased cell growth, suggesting it can support ovarian function. It may also improve cervical mucus, which helps sperm movement, increasing the chances of conception. Overall, thyme shows promise as a natural fertility aid.
