Supplements for healthy sperm?

[fothers]

hi guys,

I have just started ttc and have been taking my pro-natal vits like a good girl

Should I get oh to take them too or are there some designed specifically for men?

Morning

I've heard it's good for men to take Zinc

Some men just take zinc that's the most common supplement. Zinc also increases male sex drive.
There are others too that OH's can take too, Zinc improves count, selenium improves motility, l-arginine improves quality and count, calcium is what helps create sperm in the first place, B-complex and C are recommended for general fertility

Also he needs to be taking these for at leat 3 months for them to have any effect.

I think it was Becks that found out that if you take Zinc and Folic Acid together, it increases the sperm count by 84%!

My OH has been taking them now for a two months - he is very obliging bless him!

excellent- thanks for all the advice!
84% is a huge increase!

Shocking isn't it! I think it was on a BBC website about mens health.

Get yourself down the health food shop girl and good luck!
