Understanding Male Fertility Support

Male fertility refers to a man's ability to produce healthy, viable sperm that are capable of fertilizing an egg to create an embryo.¹ It depends on the production of healthy sperm, the ability to deliver that sperm during intercourse, and the sperm's capacity to fertilize an egg.² Male fertility can be confusing and is often not talked about enough, but it’s very important for couples trying to have a baby. Here are some main ways to support male fertility:

  1. Sperm Health: This category includes factors such as sperm motility (how well sperm moves) and morphology (the shape of the sperm).*² 
  2. Hormone Balance: Healthy testosterone levels are key for sperm production and libido. Our Male Fertility Support* Supplement is formulated to support sperm count (the number of sperm), concentration (how packed the sperm are in semen), motility (how well they move), and morphology (their shape and structure).* 
  3. Antioxidant Support: Antioxidants like lycopene can help fight free radicals and support healthy cells, thereby supporting healthy fertility.³

The key is to stay informed and take action, because with fertility, even small steps can make a big difference.

Vitamins & Nutrients Essential For Male Fertility Support

When it comes to sperm health, certain nutrients play a crucial role. Here's a breakdown of the key players you should know about:

  • Zinc: This mineral may support sperm production and help protect sperm from oxidative stress.⁴
  • Selenium: This nutrient plays an important role in making sperm and helping them move properly.⁵
  • Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate): Offers support for sperm count, sperm health, and sperm DNA stability.⁶
  • Vitamin C: An antioxidant powerhouse, vitamin C helps protect sperm from oxidative stress.⁷ 
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This compound is vital for energy production within cells, including sperm cells.⁷
  • Vitamin E: This antioxidant helps protect sperm from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals.⁷

How Zinc Affects Testosterone And Fertility

Zinc plays a role in hormone balance and may help the body maintain healthy testosterone levels.*⁸ Here’s a closer look at how this key nutrient affects these important parts of men’s health:

  • Zinc plays an important role in helping the body make testosterone.* When zinc levels are low, the body may not produce enough testosterone, but when zinc is added through food or supplements, testosterone levels can go up.* This is because zinc supports key processes in the body that are needed for making and balancing male hormones.*⁸
  • Zinc is important for keeping sperm strong and healthy.* It helps protect sperm from oxidative stress, which happens when harmful molecules called free radicals build up in the body and damage cells.*⁹

The Benefits Of Coenzyme Q10 For Male Fertility Support* 

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is an important antioxidant that may help support male fertility.*⁷ Adding CoQ10 to your daily routine can be a helpful step because it provides these key benefits*:

  1. One of the main ways CoQ10 helps with male fertility is by fighting oxidative stress, which happens when harmful molecules in the body damage cells, including sperm.*¹⁰ Sperm cells are easily damaged by free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can lower fertility by hurting the cells and making it harder for them to work properly.¹⁰ 
  2. Besides helping sperm health directly, CoQ10 also supports overall reproductive wellness. It can support sperm count, movement, and antioxidant protection, making sure sperm get the nutrients and oxygen they need to stay strong and healthy.¹⁰ 

Lifestyle Changes To Make Supplements More Effective

In addition to taking supplements, making a few simple lifestyle changes can help improve their effectiveness and support fertility. Here are some important areas to focus on:

  • Diet: Eating a healthy, balanced diet is key. Research suggests foods like vegetables and fruits, nuts, lean animal proteins like fish and chicken, and low-fat dairy foods may help support sperm quality.¹²
  • Exercise: Staying active can boost your overall health, which also helps fertility. Try to get regular, moderate exercise throughout the week. Just be careful not to overdo it—some studies suggest that intense exercise may reduce testosterone levels.¹²
  • Stress Management: Studies suggest that high stress levels can hurt sperm quality. Find ways to relax that work for you, like going for a walk, meditating, or writing in a journal. Managing stress is a powerful way to help your body stay balanced.¹²
  • Sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for male fertility. Poor sleep can lower sperm quality, so prioritizing rest can be important for supporting fertility.¹³
  • Avoiding Harmful Substances: Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and using drugs can reduce sperm count and quality. Avoiding these habits can help protect your fertility and improve your chances of success.¹²
