It's been well investigated that for a person to be fertile there must be a generous supply of anti-oxidants in the body in general and in the genital tract especially. Men with issues of low sperm counts and low semen volume clearly lack in three essential anti-oxidants specifically : Lycopene, Retinol and Beta-Carotene.

Beta Carotenes are the predecessors of Vitamin A. If the body is deficient in Beta carotene the liver converts the present Beta carotene into Vitamin A and the anti-oxidant activity is lost in the conversion. It is therefore better to get more Lycopene. Lycopene is the agent that gives tomatoes the red color. What's engaging is interesting is that the Lycopene becomes more widely available when the tomatoes are processed like in tomato pasta sauce or tomato ketchups. Scientists in Israel have been able to engineer tomatoes with 4 times the Lycopene content than the normal tomato giving rise to the term Lyc-O-mato.

Consider this statistic. The average time taken to make a sperm is about 120 days. After this long wait only around 300-400 of the four hundred million wierd sperms can reach the egg in the female genital tract where the best 'man' fertilizes the egg. It's been shown that 600 mg of Vitamin E taken daily for a quarter improves the sperm counts and quality by over twenty p.c... Imagine what having twenty p.c. Over and above the ordinary 400 million sperms can mean to your fertility! Another necessary ingredient for sperm count and semen volume improvement is Selenium which is a potent anti-oxidant.

There are few other important ingredients necessary for good sperm counts and quality. The amino acids L-Arginine and L-Taurine are essential for the formation of healthy sperms. One of the most important micronutrients necessary for fertility in both men is Zinc. Zinc plays an important role in reproductive functions and is crucial in determining the length of time the sperms spend in the female genital tract. 50 mg of Zinc taken daily by both partners can improve sexual health.

So folks, in order to enhance your sperm counts and semen volume make sure you get your daily supply of Lycopene, Beta Carotenes, Zinc, Vitamin E, Selenium and amino acids like L-Arginine and L-Taurine.
