What supplements and vitamins can I take to improve my fertility?

Oxygen free radicals are harmful toxins that can damage sperm DNA and have negative effects on sperm function.  Reviews of randomized clinical trials have shown the following vitamins and supplements to be helpful in improving sperm concentration and motility, pregnancy rates, and prevent DNA damage:
  • Vitamins A and E (independently)
  • Vitamin C (in combination with other vitamins)
  • L-Carnitine
  • N-acetyl cysteine
  • Zinc
  • Selenium
  • Folic acid


What dose should I take and where can I get these supplements?

The doses vary in the clinical trials.  Many of these items are found in daily multivitamins but just at lower doses.  Fertilaid is an over the counter product available at Walgreens and other stores. It is around 28-29$ for a month supply.  It has all the important antioxidants in it.
