Vitamins for our Men

[Lilelephant]

I have been doing some research this afternoon about vitamins for hubby, as I am taking pregnacare conception ones, i thought i would look to see which vits help men with sperm count and quality.
Hub wont take vitamin pills so have to work it into his diet.....

vitamin B12 (found in most meats, and algae such as seaweed)
vitamin C (found in a wide range of fruit and veg)
Selenium (bread, fish, eggs, brazil nutsand meat)
vitamin E (plant oils such as soya, corn and olive oil. Other good sources include nuts and seeds, and wheatgerm )

if you guys know of any others do share...
thought i would share my info

love ya guys!

Hey Mrsmc.....I bought DH Zinc tablets about 4 weeks ago and they are still lying on his bedside table...not coz he doesnt care....but thank god hes not on the male pill or we would have had a brood over the years....hes hopeless to like you have to get stuff in through his diet lol xxx

I always take my pregnacare last thing at night in bed so I keep hubbys vitamins in my drawer too that way when I take mine I just pass him his then he doesn't have to remember

We caught onto the fact that Zinc to supposed to help produce strong swimmers so when we first TTC in 2005 DH took regular multivitamins for a couple of months before and I fell pregnant first time!! I mascarried first then tried again and would you believe it, jackpot again and DS arrived safe and sound.
He's back on the vits again this time so will see what happens.

 

[Lilelephant]

I have started puting hubbys on his drinks coaster when he has his dinner...lol so far so good

 

[JJ Mum]

BWakling and Anthony Jaye, well done you! Sounds like they make a difference
