Vitamin E essential for improving fertility among men


Infertility is a common problem now. Although women are to be blamed for that almost every time but in fact more than half of cases men are also equally responsible for the infertility. No one knows that what the exact cause of infertility is. Lifestyle plays a vital role in our fertility issues. For example what we take inside our body directly impacts on fertility if we drink alcohol or smoke regularly it badly affects our fertility.  

Studies have shown that certain nutrients if we consume on a regular basis can directly impact the sperm quality in men and can ultimately results in improved pregnancy rates. Many times it is said that low levels of Vitamin E can cause impotence in men. Lack of vitamin E also causes low sex drive and infertility. So, in a way vitamin E is considered as very important nutrient for men. Vitamin E acts as a anti oxidant protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage.  

In a study conducted in USA, men undergoing IVF treatment who have been given vitamin E have shown better fertilization rates which suggest that the antioxidant activity of vitamin E makes the sperm more fertile. Vitamin E is known to enhance sperm health & motility. All the antioxidants have proven abilities to boost sperm quality.  

Taking vitamin E supplements or changing your diet to incorporate foods rich in vitamin E can help improving sperm quality and increasing its motility. The best food sources of Vitamin E are dark leafy vegetables, tomatoes, almonds, broccoli, kiwi, fish and sunflower seeds.  

Not only in men but in women also, it is known to improve the quality of cervical mucus, which betters the chances of implantation of the fertilized eggs. It is also known to reduce the chances of miscarriage. Please do consult your IVF Expert for the vitamin E diet that should be included in your treatment schedule.
