Supplements of vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, tribulus terrestris and Indian Ginseng may be indicated to increase the production and quality of spermatozoa. These can be found in pharmacies and drugstores and do not need a prescription to be purchased.
But to observe the results it is advised to consume the indicated dose, every day, for at least 2 months. Studies carried out with these natural substances indicated that after 2 or 3 months the quantity and quality of sperm increased significantly, however, their consumption is not a guarantee that the woman can become pregnant, especially if she also has some type of infertility.
In any case, when the couple can not get pregnant, tests should be performed to find out the cause and what can be done. When it is finally discovered that the woman is totally healthy, but the man produces few sperm, or when they have little motility and health, the supplements that can help are:
1. Vitamin C
Consuming good doses of vitamin C daily is an excellent strategy to increase testosterone by improving strength, vigor and sperm production. In addition to eating more foods rich in vitamin C like orange, lemon, pineapple and strawberry, one can also take 2 capsules of 1g each of vitamin C daily.
Vitamin C is indicated because it fights oxidative stress, which arises with age and in case of diseases, which is related to decreased male fertility. So its regular consumption deflates the cells and potentiates the health of the sperm increasing its motility, increases the production of healthy sperms.
2. Vitamin D
Vitamin D supplementation is also a good help to combat male infertility without any apparent cause because it increases testosterone levels. Taking 3, 000 IU of vitamin D3 every day can increase testosterone levels by about 25%.
3. Zinc
Zinc in capsules is also a good aid in improving the production of spermatozoa in zinc-deficient men who practice a lot of physical activity. It is indicated because lack of zinc is related to low levels of testosterone, poor sperm quality and increased risk of male infertility.
4. Tribulus terrestris
The tribulus terrestris supplement can be used to improve sperm quality because it increases testosterone and improves erectile function and libido. It is therefore recommended to take 6 grams of tribulus terristris per day for at least 3 months and then evaluate the results.
5. Indian Ginseng
Ashwagandha supplement (Withania somnifera) is also a good option to improve healthy and motile sperm levels. The daily consumption of this supplement for about 2 months is able to increase sperm production by more than 150%, in addition to improving its motility and increasing the volume of semen. In this case it is recommended to take 675 mg of ashwagandha root extract per day for about 3 months.
