Male Factor Ladies

Hi Ladies,

This is the list of vitamins I had found however after meeting with the urologist yesterday he seemed to think that it really wasn't necessary but that it couldn't hurt. He did say though not to take the herbal remedies that state they will improve sperm count b/c they will typically contain a low dose of a steroids which is bad for the sperm.

Amino acids, if taken regularly, are generally believed to increase ejaculate fluid. On the other hand, zinc seems to improve both the amount of sperm produced as well as the sperm's ability to move spontaneously and independently. Together with amino acids, this will increase normal sperm count and volume significantly.
Amino acids are believed to increase ejaculate fluid (not the amount of actual sperm necessarily) if taken regularly. Some amino acids include:

L-ARGININE HCL
Studies show sperm and semen volume doubles, fertility improves (even among men with low sperm counts or poor sperm motility), and sperm health and activity increase with supplementation. Arginine is found in high concentrations in nuts and seeds like peanuts and almonds. It can also be found in chocolate and raisins. Some Natural Sources: Nuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chocolate, popcorn, raisins, brown rice, carob, gelatin desserts, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and protein rich foods.

L-LYSINE
Researchers find that this amino acids plus zinc increases sperm produced, stimulates testosterone production, and improves semen quality.

EPIMEDIUM SAGITTATUM
Sometimes called "horny goat weed," this botanical boosts libido and testosterone levels for greater sperm production for a strong ejaculation.

ZINC OXIDE
Has been shown to increase number of sperm and sperm motility by 80% to 200% by aiding testosterone synthesis.

L-CARNITINE
This amino acid is found in high concentrations in healthy sperm. Proven to significantly increase the percentage of highly motile sperm.

CATUABA BARK
Brazilian herb that strengthens the libido, and nourishes the entire male reproductive system.

PUMPKIN SEED
Supports prostate health and hormonal production. While they may not readily increase sperm volume, they do enhance prostate health and testosterone production.

MACA
Legendary South American botanical proven to promote libido, potency and energy.

Ginseng Y
ohimbe bark
Vitamin C, E
Magnesium


Zinc has been shown to improve both the amount of sperm you produce and the sperm's ability to move spontaneously and independently. Coupled with amino acids (see above), this will increase sperm volume significantly.

Re: Male Factor Ladies

There are many well controlled studies about the effectiveness of Vit C, Magnesium, L-Arginine and zinc. Shame on him! If you do a search of Google Scholar its all right there

Re: Male Factor Ladies

ah, thank you! Should this be a sign to me? should I be looking for a 2nd opinion?

Re: Male Factor Ladies

Here is my other post:
we found out that DH has varicocele (like a varicose vein in the testicle) He will have to have a small surgical procedure to fix it and that will hopefully improve his sa. We are going for another sa and sonogram on Sat. The Dr. sounded very confident that we would get pregnant naturally, so that made us feel good however he did say it could still take over a year which is hard to hear.
We'll keep trying in the mean time because the Dr. said it's still very possible to get pregnant even though the count is low.
