Morning ladies,

On 'The Sex Education Show' last night they said (in so many words) that if a man is having alot of sex, he will need to take zinc supplements.....

Is this true - has anyone heard this before.....??

(hubby is worried that he might need supplements hahaha)

I have heard that men trying to concieve should take zinc supplements as it helps to keep the sperm supply healthy. Im thinking of getting my OH on them once weve been trying for a couple of months xxx

If you look at the pro-natal his and her vits you will see that the fellas contains extra zinc. I just make my dh take an all round multi vit to keep keep him tip-top. HTH! x

Hi,
yes I've heard thats true, My mate had had four miscarage's and they were trying like anything..........with no result. In the end the docs told them that her Hubby's sperm was pretty weak and he needed a few suppliments to get the sperm perky and raring to go!!!!!! Zinc was one, vitamin c and I forgot the other( Mates on hols but when she gets back i will ask and let you know).

Very interesting - A trip to Boots I reckon at lunchtime!

Yes - it is true! I bought my OH some last week and he is refusing to take them! Thinks it is a criticism against him and his sperm!!!!!! MEN!

Little Toad - Ha ha men get so worried dont they!!

I found this just now - an artical on GMTV:

4. Take vitamins
Studies show that supplementing with vitamin C can assist in the making of properly functioning sperm, and reduce their tendency to clump together (agglutinate). 1,000mg of vitamin C each day should be enough to help men make top seed.

High doses of zinc appear to help boost levels of testosterone in men with low levels of this hormone, and may bring substantial improvements in sperm numbers. A zinc supplement of 50-100mg should be taken each day (balanced with 3-6mg of copper per day to prevent copper deficiency) for three months.

Like zinc, Korean ginseng appears to have the ability to enhance both testosterone and sperm levels. About 500mg of standardised extract should be taken each day for three months.

little toad maybe you should look up foods rich in zinc and make him meals with it all,hes got to eat hasnt he lol

isnt tuna a good 1???? think i will google it myself

oo oooo or pop the pill in his meal if hes anything like mine he wont actually chew his food so will never no lol

haha...thats what we used to do to our cat with her de-worming tablets!!

ha ha,me 2 but my cat would only eat it out of prawns,just an excuse if they could talk me thinks lol

I've had my husband on Wellman supplements since I've been taking my pro-natal ones. They aren't cheap but have everything the boys need for healthy little swimmers, I think L-Arginine is crucial for top sperm too.

did you see some fo the horrible pic wen they dnt clean properly omg made me be thankful they actually get tought how to clean in the army just the thought.................eeeewwww

that show was fantastic,really opened my eyes to some stuff and other stuff ade me want to close them again

did any of your parents tell you about the bird n bees? my mum sat me down with a book,with pics!!!!!!!!! just made me think that were not as open with our kids as we used to be?

Bum I didn't realise it was on last night, will have to watch it on the net, I've found the whole series so interesting so far.
