Top 5 rating according to KP
1. Zinc picolinate
Zinc is one of the most important trace elements responsible for fertility and ovulation in women, as well as the production of quality sperm and testosterone in men, which is responsible for endurance, physical strength and vitality. A lack of zinc in a man’s body can adversely affect potency and sperm production, and in advanced cases even lead to infertility or prostatitis.
– Zinc is necessary for men for the normal functioning of the prostate gland. With zinc deficiency, the total sperm count in the ejaculate and testosterone levels decrease. With a poor spermatogram, a man needs from 2,5 to 6 mg of zinc per day. Zinc picolinate is the most convenient form because it contains zinc in an organic form and is easily absorbed by the body, minimizing the risk of gastrointestinal disorders, says Dr. Almaz Garifullin. – Zinc is also found in large quantities in beef, veal liver, pine nuts, so include these foods in your diet more often in preparation for conception.
The specialist recalls that an excess of zinc in the body is also harmful, since metabolism can be disturbed, anemia or atherosclerosis may occur. Therefore, the intake of zinc-containing drugs should be prescribed only by a doctor and take place under his supervision.
2. Spermstrong
Very often, to improve the quality of sperm and reproductive function in men, doctors recommend to their patients the biological supplement Spermstrong, which is available in the form of capsules. It contains very important for men’s health L-arginine, L-carnitine, Vitamin B, C, E, selenium and zinc.
– L-carnitine stimulates energy metabolism between cells and protects spermatozoa from damage by free radicals, its deficiency is often the cause of male infertility. L-arginine provides vasodilation and sperm motility. Vitamin C has a general strengthening effect on blood vessels, and selenium protects the reproductive system from toxic damage and removes salts of heavy metals, says the doctor. – Regular intake of Spermstrong improves the quality of spermatozoa – their concentration, mobility and fertilizing ability, normalizes blood circulation in the genitals, increases sexual and reproductive function.
The vitamin composition of Spermstrong also provides good health, strong immunity and increased performance.
3. Speroton
Male vitamins Speroton are usually prescribed for male infertility and low sperm activity, and even in preparation for IVF. Speroton manufacturers promise that after three months of regular use, the drug increases the likelihood of conception by 15%, and sperm motility by 86,3%. At the same time, the amount of the ejaculate itself increases (up to 44% in 3 months), and the spermatozoa become as if for selection – the correct form and very active.
Speroton is available as a powder sachet to be dissolved in a glass of water and taken once a day after meals. The liquid form of the drug ensures its good absorption compared to tablets, and there are practically no side effects.
– Speroton contains a high dosage of L-carnitine, folic acid, vitamin E, as well as selenium and zinc. These substances provide effective help to men with reduced fertility. Recall that L-carnitine is an amino acid that provides high mobility and concentration of spermatozoa, folic acid reduces the number of defective spermatozoa, which means that the risk of having children with serious genetic diseases is minimized,” says doctor Almaz Garifullin. – Selenium helps to reduce the oxidative process in sperm, which negatively affects spermatogenesis in general and impairs sperm quality.
4. Tribestan
The herbal preparation Tribestan contains in its composition an extract of the herb – Tribulus terrestris, which has long been used in folk medicine as a means to improve male strength and treat impotence. Tribestan is available in the form of tablets, usually the doctor prescribes a course of 60 tablets.
Most often, Tribestan is prescribed for decreased sexual activity, decreased libido and erectile dysfunction in men. Already a couple of weeks after the start of taking the drug, a man notes an increase in sexual desire: sexual intercourse lasts longer, sensations become brighter, and the ability to conceive increases dramatically. The quantity and quality of the ejaculate also increases, and the spermatozoa themselves become more active and capable of fertilization.
“The main active ingredient, tribulus terrestris extract, increases testosterone levels, as well as increases libido and sperm count by acting on the corresponding glands of the brain,” the specialist explains.
5. Folic acid (vitamin B9)
As a rule, folic acid is prescribed to women during pregnancy planning and in its first trimester. Vitamin B9 is involved in the synthesis of DNA and plays an important role at the stage of formation and growth of the embryo. However, doctors believe that folic acid is also necessary for men during conception planning.
– Folic acid significantly reduces the number of spermatozoa that carry distorted genetic information, which is the cause of the birth of children with Down syndrome, epilepsy, heart defects and other genetic defects. Folic acid deficiency leads to a decrease in the amount of sperm, its quality. During the planning of conception, it is enough for men to use B9 at 0,7 – 1,1 mg per day. Also, folic acid in a prophylactic dosage of 0,4 mg is useful before passing the spermogram, because even healthy men have defective spermatozoa, explains Diamond Garifullin.
Doctors note that the process of sperm formation takes about 72-74 days, so a man needs to start taking folic acid at least two months before the planned conception. At the same time, it should be remembered that B9 is destroyed under the influence of nicotine, so the future father will have to give up the bad habit.
Folic acid is also found in many foods: beef and beef liver, legumes, nuts and citrus fruits, greens, pumpkin and Brussels sprouts, and brewer’s yeast (we note right away that this has nothing to do with store-bought beer, and in general, alcohol should be abandoned if you want a healthy baby).
– Of course, men’s vitamins, dietary supplements, trace elements – all this is very important during conception planning. But it is equally important that a man love his woman, really want a child from her, be psychologically prepared for this important step in life, give up bad habits for the sake of the unborn baby. Then conception will happen very quickly, and the child will develop and be born strong and healthy, – I’m sure Diamond Garifullin.
Why do men need vitamins for conception
When we talk about planning pregnancy and preparing for conception, it seems that all the worries fall only on the shoulders of the expectant mother. The future father is required to pass only all the necessary tests and undergo a complete examination, as well as give up bad habits. Vitamins, useful biological supplements, a balanced diet – all this applies not only to women. Experts recommend that men also take vitamins for conception, especially if the results of the spermogram leave much to be desired and there are problems with potency.
– Taking vitamins for men during preparation for conception significantly increases the chance of successful and rapid fertilization, as well as the development and birth of a healthy baby. This is especially important if a man has low sperm quality – there is a small amount of sperm in the ejaculate, they are inactive or irregular in shape. Then vitamins and mineral complexes can increase sperm motility, improve men’s health in general. Taking into account the fact that spermatozoa mature in the body of a man for about 72-74 days, vitamin intake should be started at least two months before conception, – comments doctor Almaz Garifullin.
