ZINC
Zinc is a critical trace mineral for male sexual function. It is involved in virtually every aspect of male reproduction, including hormone metabolism, sperm formation, and sperm motility. Zinc found in the seminal fluid, increases sperm count and mobility, and blood testosterone levels.

Zinc deficiency is characterized by decreased testosterone levels and sperm counts. Zinc levels are typically much lower in infertile men with low sperm counts, indicating that a low zinc status may be the contributing factor to the infertility.

The results from several studies suggest that zinc supplementation may be beneficial for men who have low sperm count and low testosterone levels.

In one study, thirty-seven men who had been infertile for more than five years, and whose sperm counts were less than 25 million/ml were given a supplement of zinc sulfate (60 mg of elemental zinc daily) for forty-five to fifty days. In the twenty-two patients with initially low testosterone levels, mean sperm count increased significantly, from 8 to 20 million/ml. Testosterone levels also increased, and nine out of the twenty- two wives became pregnant during the study. In contrast, in the fifteen men with normal testosterone levels, although sperm count increased slightly, there was no change in testosterone level and no pregnancies occurred. Thus zinc appears to be effective in increasing male fertility when testosterone levels are low.

Optimal zinc levels must be attained if optimum male sexual vitality is desired. RDA for zinc is 15 mg. Zinc is found in whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. In addition to eating these zinc-containing foods, therapists suggest that you take 45 to 60 mg per day of zinc supplements
