Foods high in sperm count-boosting nutrients include:
1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, has long been used in traditional medicines as a remedy for several forms of sexual dysfunction.
A 2016 study found that 46 men with low sperm counts who took 675 milligrams (mg) of ashwagandha daily for 90 days saw a 167 percent increase in sperm count.
2. Increase intake of antioxidant-rich foods
Antioxidants are molecules that help remove and deactivate free radicals and other compounds that damage cells. Several studies have linked antioxidant consumption with increased sperm count.
Antioxidants that may contribute to a healthy sperm count include selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, coenzyme Q10 and I-carnitine.
3. Increase healthy fat intake
Fats such as omega-3 and omega-6, are crucial to the healthy development of the sperm membrane.
Some studies have shown that individuals should consume these two essential omega compounds in equal quantities for ideal sperm development and antioxidant benefits.
4. walnuts/citrus fruits/bananas
All these fruits help with sperm multiplication. Researchers have shown that most of these fruit remedies influence sperm count in some way.
