  here is more than you ever wanted to know.

  old email of mine to another nestie:

  OK... here's the "recipe" that I researched WAAAYYYY  too much, and had both our RE and his urologist review, to make sure it was good, necessary, safe, etc.

  Being a nurse, and concerned person, I'll have to insist that you check with his doctor about these pills as well. (of course) Just because it's an over the counter  vitamin does NOT mean it's 100% safe....   ok,  disclaimer speech over.

   

  Daily:

  1000mg Vitamin C
  1800mg L-Arganine
  1000mg Flax Seed Oil
  500mg L-Carnitine
  50mg Zinc
  400 IU Vitamin E
  B-complex
  Multi vitamin with minerals, Lutein, Anti-Ox, Lycopene, CoQ10, etc. ?One Source?

  200mg Pycnogenol (this is a "proven improver" for poor morph)

   

   

  What "they" say about these:

  Supplements
  The following supplements have been shown to increase sperm count and/or motility. Allow 3-4 months for the supplements to work.

  • Arginine?Take 4 gr daily. Needed to produce sperm. If the sperm count is below 10 million per ml, arginine probably will not provide any benefit.
  • Coenzyme Q10?Take 10 mg daily. Increases sperm count and motility.
  • Flaxseed oil?Take 1 tbsp daily. Is a source of essential fatty acids.
  • L-carnitine?Take 3-4 grams daily. Required for normal sperm function.
  • Multivitamin-mineral?Buy a high-quality product and take one serving size (differs from brand to brand).
  • Selenium?Take 200 mcg daily. Improves sperm motility.
  • Vitamin B-12?Take 1000 mcg daily. A B-12 deficiency reduces sperm motility and sperm count. Even if no deficiency exists, B-12 supplementation may help men with a sperm count of less than 20 million per milliliter or a motility rate of less than 50%
  • Vitamin C?Take 500 mg 2 times daily. Is an antioxidant.
  • Vitamin E?Take 400 IUs 2 times daily. Is an antioxidant and improves sperms? ability to impregnate.
  • Zinc?Take 15 mg 2 times daily. Required for a healthy male reproductive system and sperm production.

  here's a link I found helpful: https://www.fertilinet.com/male.htm

   

  Supplies I got (and he only took them off and on for about 3-4 weeks, I think, so the quantities are a bit less than what's below...)

  (270 tabs) Fortified Pycnogenol  from Puritan's Pride (www.puritan.com) 25mg   $26-

  (360 tabs) L-Carnitine from Nature's Bounty (www.naturesbountry.com)  250mg  $32-

  (200 caps)  L-Arginine from NSI-NutraCeutical Sciences   1800mg   $12

  (250 softgels)  Vitamin E  (NSI)       400 IU     $11
