Vitamins that increase sperm count

by Butterfly68

(August 2006) (rank 500+)

The following supplements can better fertility, according to research. You can safely take all of them together.

Vitamin B12: Good sperm counts depend on this vitamin. Take 100 to 300 mcg daily.

Vitamin C: This nutrient improves sperm quality. Take 1,000 mg daily.

Vitamin

E: Vitamin E increases the pregnancy rate in couples who are having trouble conceiving. Take 400 IU of natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) daily.

Selenium: Supplementation improves sperm counts and the quality of sperm activity. Take 200 mcg daily.

Zinc: A deficiency in zinc, common in Americans, is associated with male infertility. Supplementing improves sperm activity and impregnation rates. Take 50 mg daily.

Arginine: This amino acid improves sperm counts. Take 4 g daily with food.

Food

Which foods are these wonderful vitamins found in?

Many guys i know are squeemish about anything to do with tablets, even if they are vitamin ones!
Also it is normal to get most vitamins and minerals in a normal healthy balanced diet - maybe they are already in the food we consume regularly.

good list

Maybe you could tell us how these vitamins improve the sperm count or chances of contraception? or what an overdose of these vitamins can cause? ie- too much vitamin C can cause rebound scurvy...

you need to watch how much of these vitamins you consume in your normal diet as well.
