Bud Story

Inspired by personal experience of unexplained secondary infertility, Bud fertility formulas have been created to support all those in the pursuit of parenthood.

Bud founders Tim and Sarita Heard’s TTC journey lasted four long years, but very happily – and with the help of IVF (and some very clever people at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital), culminated in the arrival of twins!

However, this experience gave an insight in to the reality of fertility problems that so many unexpectedly have to face. Convinced by the powerful role nutrition played in their own experience and disappointed by the supplements available they set about creating a supplement that supports a targeted and holistic approach to fertility with a leading nutritionist from Southbank University.

Many factors including changes in diet, lifestyle, stress and the tendency to start a family later in life, are considered the main contributing factors to our weakening natural fertility. It is Bud’s mission to support all couples when they first decide to try for a baby, helping them to become Baby Body Ready- and to continue supporting them during the 18 month to two year average period it takesto achieve natural conception.
