Boost InYou: Natural Fertility & Sperm Health Support for Male

Some of the top supplements that may help boost male fertility include:

• L-carnitine – Helps improve sperm motility and quality. Recommended dose is 500-2500 mg daily.
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – Supports sperm health by reducing oxidative stress. Suggested dose is 100-600 mg per day.
• Zinc – Essential for testosterone production and sperm development. Typical dose is 11-15 mg per day.
• Vitamin E – Acts as an antioxidant to protect sperm from damage. Recommended intake is 15-22 mg daily.
• Omega-3 fatty acids – Can boost sperm count and motility. Aim for 500-1000 mg of DHA per day.

Key fertility-boosting supplements for women include:

• Folic acid (vitamin B9) – Crucial for preventing neural tube defects. Recommended dose is 400-800 mcg daily.
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – May improve egg quality, especially in women with diminished ovarian reserve. Suggested dose is 100-600 mg per day.
• Omega-3s – Can help improve egg quality and chances of pregnancy in women over 35.
• Vitamin D – Deficiency may be linked to infertility, so supplementation may be beneficial if levels are low.
• Inositol – May help regulate ovulation and improve fertility in women with PCOS. Typical dose is 2-4 grams per day.

Testosterone boosting supplements typically work in a few key ways:

• Providing nutrients that support natural testosterone production, like zinc, vitamin D, and D-aspartic acid.
• Blocking the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, using ingredients like chrysin or DIM.
• Increasing the body’s sensitivity to testosterone, through compounds like ashwagandha or tribulus.

However, the effectiveness of these supplements can vary, and they should be used with caution, as high testosterone levels can also have negative side effects.

Most fertility supplements are generally considered safe when taken as directed. However, it’s important to:

• Consult a healthcare provider, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions.
• Avoid supplements that contain synthetic hormones or unapproved ingredients.
• Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for any adverse effects.
• Be aware that supplements can interact with certain medications.

Couples should consider seeing a fertility specialist if they have been unable to conceive after 1 year of regular, unprotected sex (or 6 months if the woman is over 35). A doctor can help identify any underlying causes and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
