Instructions

• 1

  Stop smoking and drinking. Alcohol and cigarette smoke can lower sperm count and be a factor in male infertility.

• 2

  Avoid hot baths, spas and saunas. Heat is known to be associated with reduced sperm production.

• 3

  Wear loose-fitting underwear. Tight underwear can constrict the testes and increase testicular temperature, lowering sperm count.

• 4

  Maintain an ideal body weight. Both obese and underweight men often have a low sperm count.

• 5

  Take 2,000 to 6,000 mg of vitamin C, 100 to 200 mg of zinc, 1,000 mg of chromium and 1,000 mg of vitamin B12 each day to increase sperm count and improve sperm motility.
