When it comes to preparing for pregnancy and supporting fertility, protein isn’t just another nutrient—it’s the foundation for hormone health, egg and sperm quality, and your baby’s development. We’ve taken everything we know about protein, prenatal and postnatal nutrition, and fertility support and combined it into one groundbreaking solution: WeNatal Protein +.
Available in two tailored options—WeNatal for Her Protein + and WeNatal for Him Protein +—our new 3-in-1 formula brings together high-quality whey protein, collagen, and a complete pre and postnatal (for women) or fertility support formula (for men).
WeNatal Protein + for Her
The first 3-in-1 protein for women designed to support fertility, pregnancy, and recovery.
WeNatal Protein + for Him
The first 3-in-1 protein designed to support men’s fertility and fitness
WeNatal Protein + Together
The first 3-in-1 protein designed for couples to support fertility, energy, and recovery, together.
Why protein matters for fertility and pregnancy
Protein is the building block of certain hormones, reproductive tissues, and new life itself. For women, protein supports egg quality, a receptive uterine lining, hormone regulation, and steady blood sugar balance throughout pregnancy. For men, protein fuels sperm production, enhances motility, and helps protect DNA from oxidative stress.
- Protein and fertility: Essential amino acids help regulate ovulation and support hormone health.
- Protein and pregnancy: Protein requirements increase during pregnancy to support maternal tissue growth, fetal development, and milk production.
- Protein and sperm health: Adequate protein intake improves sperm count, shape, and movement while also protecting sperm DNA integrity.
- Protein for postpartum recovery: Protein plays a vital role in tissue repair, wound healing, and restoring strength after childbirth. It also supports milk production for breastfeeding and helps replenish the body’s nutrient stores.
The challenge: Meeting protein and nutrient needs
Many couples preparing for pregnancy or navigating the first trimester struggle to meet nutrient needs. Common barriers include:
- Pregnancy nausea or food aversions that make balanced meals difficult.
- Difficulty swallowing capsules, especially prenatal vitamins.
- Busy lifestyles where meal prep isn’t always realistic.
That’s why we created WeNatal Protein +—a complete, convenient, and nourishing option that simplifies nutrition during this critical stage.

What makes WeNatal Protein+ different?
Unlike other protein powders, WeNatal Protein + combines three essentials in one scoop:
- Whey protein – A complete, high-quality protein source with all essential amino acids to support hormone regulation, egg health, and sperm development.
- Collagen – Supports skin elasticity, joint health, and connective tissue, especially important during pregnancy and as the uterus expands.
- Prenatal and fertility support formula – Includes the comprehensive vitamins and minerals found in our industry-leading WeNatal for Her and WeNatal for Him supplements.
This unique combination means you’re not just drinking a protein shake—you’re covering your bases for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum health in one step.
How to use WeNatal Protein+
WeNatal Protein+ is designed to alternate with your daily prenatal or fertility support supplement—or replace it entirely on days you prefer a shake.
- For Her: Take WeNatal for Her Protein+ on alternating days or instead of your prenatal. Blend into a smoothie, mix with almond milk, or stir into yogurt for a nutrient-packed meal or snack.
- For Him: Take WeNatal for Him Protein+ on alternating days or instead of your fertility support capsules. It’s a powerful way to meet protein needs while boosting sperm health and overall vitality.
This flexibility makes WeNatal Protein + especially helpful for those struggling with nausea, food aversions, or difficulty swallowing capsules.
Protein and fertility: A smarter approach
By combining protein with prenatal and fertility nutrients, WeNatal Protein+ addresses multiple fertility foundations at once:
- Hormone health – Adequate protein and micronutrients help support thyroid hormones.
- Egg and sperm quality – Amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins work together to protect and improve reproductive cells.
- Energy and metabolism – Protein stabilizes blood sugar, reducing cravings and energy dips that can interfere with conception.
Tissue building – Collagen and protein together support uterine lining development, embryo implantation, and maternal tissue health.
Who benefits most from WeNatal Protein+?
WeNatal Protein+ is ideal for:
- Women struggling with pregnancy nausea or food aversions who tolerate smoothies better than solid meals.
- Couples who want a convenient, nutrient-dense option to meet both protein and supplement needs.
- Anyone who finds it challenging to swallow capsules.
- Busy men and women looking for a simple way to cover both protein and fertility support in one.

A note from the founders of WeNatal: Why we created Protein+ for fertility, pregnancy, and beyond
Our mission has always been simple: to make preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum nutrition as effective, approachable, and supportive as possible. WeNatal for Her Protein + and WeNatal for Him Protein + were born from listening closely to our community—the couples, the moms-to-be, and the partners walking through this journey together.
We heard from women who wanted to fuel their bodies with nutrient-dense meals but were struggling with food aversions or nausea in early pregnancy. We heard from men looking for a convenient, complete option to support sperm health and overall vitality. And we heard from so many of you who find swallowing multiple capsules every day overwhelming, especially during such a tender chapter of life.
That’s why we created WeNatal Protein +—to bring together protein, collagen, and our complete prenatal and fertility support formula in one simple, nourishing scoop. It’s more than just a product; it’s a way to take care of yourself (and your future family) without added stress or complexity.
From our own experience as parents and as founders, we know how much this season asks of you. That’s why every decision we make is rooted in compassion, science, and the belief that you deserve to feel supported and strong.
Whether you’re blending WeNatal Protein + into your morning smoothie, sipping it to soothe pregnancy nausea, or using it as a quick afternoon recharge, we created it with you in mind. We’re honored to be part of your journey and can’t wait to see the beautiful families that grow from it.
