Male infertility accounts for about 30% of the problems encountered by couples who are unable to conceive.
What you can do to help
Studies in the United States have shown that zinc is essential for sperm formation and men who are deficient in zinc may produce zero or significantly reduced numbers of sperm. Zinc is also linked to the male sex drive and most men are advised to take a supplement of zinc when they are attempting to achieve a pregnancy.
Eating plenty of whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals will help to ensure that the sperm are healthy.
Vitamins E and B6 are often linked to a low sperm count and may be supplemented.
An increase of essential fatty acids (found in oily fish, seeds, nuts, beans, evening primrose oil and refined vegetable oils) can stimulate the production of sex hormones.
Men suffering from infertility should take selenium supplements which can improve sperm motility.
Men with a low vitamin C intake have and increased likelihood of genetic damage to their sperm. Men should take 500 mg of vitamin C daily and also 15 mg of zinc.
