Though food, real wholesome organic food, is our best medicine, supplements have done a lot to help women on their road to fertility. There are many different causes of POF, but most women with POF need to take their nutrition to a new level.
Read in the POF forums online and women describe how adding a different supplement or two aided in tipping their fertility chances.
Remember, I'm no doctor, so do what feels right for you. Everything you put in your body has an effect, so consider carefully before you do.
Co-Enzyme Q10 - helps oxygen utilization on a cellular level. Improves egg quality and fertilization. Ubiquinol is a more potent form, said to be 40% more effective, though more expensive.
Omega 3 - too many benefits to mention. for healthy cervical mucus. acts as an anti-inflammatory which is very important if you have an autoimmune disease.
Wheatgrass -cleansing, highly alkalizing, high in minerals
Chlorella - very nutritional, helps in cellular repair, binds and helps remove heavy metals
Probiotic - supports digestion so you absorb more nutrition from your food.
Vitamin D - most of us are low in this. Works directly on the ovaries, regulating how estrogen is used to help egg follicles mature and grow. May also help uterine lining.
L-arginine - an amino acid that helps increase blood flow to the uterus. It's a common one doctor's recommend for a more successful IVF.
Also, I've been reading about Inositol improving egg quality. I don't really know too much about this one and encourage you do some research if interested.
There are a few academic articles on it, mostly related with PCOS. Here is one:

Let me know if you have anything else you thoroughly recommend!
