New research also shows that men who have a folic acid deficiency could notice a 90% reduction in their sperm count. If men suffering with partial infertility take folic acid it is proclaimed to increase the quality and quantity of their sperm.

I read it somewhere about a month ago, its something to do with dna and producing strong healthy sperm i think.

Hope this helps. My husband has been taking it for around a month now. But i think you have to wait 3 months to see any improvement.

Last year a former TTC'er (Arcanegirl) posted an article that said if men take Folic Acid and Zinc together, it ups their sperm count by 84%

So get them on it pronto!
