In general, how does Fertile Life for Men work?

How much do I take and how long before it starts to work? As a dietary supplement, take 3-4 capsules per day with food for the first month, followed with continued use of at least 2 capsules per day with food.  Use for at least 3 months before expecting a significant alteration in sperm quality and fertility. If conception is not achieved within this time, you may want to have your partner take Fertile Life for Women. Female fertility issues are often due to hormonal imbalances or stress factors that decrease the rate of egg release.  You may also want to check with doctor to determine whether there are any physical causes for low fertility that can be corrected by standard medical procedures.  Usually doctors recommend at least a year of trying to conceive before undergoing extensive fertility tests.

What causes fertility issues in men? As many as 15% of couples in the U.S. have difficulty conceiving a child.  In about one third of these cases, it is the man that has low fertility; in another third, the female has fertility issues.  The remaining third is due to combined male and female ifertility issues, or unknown causes.  In many of these cases, the causes of low fertility can be addressed. Most cases of low male fertility display an abnormal sperm count or low sperm motility.  Even though it takes only one sperm to fertilize an egg, there are many natural barriers in the female reproductive system that keep sperm from reaching the egg.  Out of 200 million sperm in an average ejaculate, only 40 reach the vicinity of the eggs.  Low sperm count or motility dramatically reduces the chances of the sperm reaching the egg. In about 10% of the cases of low sperm count (oligospermia) the cause can be identified and treated by standard medical procedures.  In the other 90%, the cause of low sperm count cannot be identified and is called "idiopathic oligospermia".  Many of these cases, however, can be treated by changes in lifestyle and nutrition.

Why is nutrition important in male fertility? Often a reduction in intake of alcohol, tobacco, prescription or nonprescription drugs, or avoidance of environmental contaminants can enhance sperm production.  Usually an improvement in nutrition or supplementation also is necessary to reverse damage to the reproductive system incurred by stress or past abuses. Sperm are highly susceptible to free radical or oxidative damage from environmental toxicants and natural aging.  Vitamins C and E, green tea and selenium are all potent antioxidants that help improve sperm counts and quality by reducing free radical damage. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant found in Dong quai, has also been shown to improve sperm quality.  Zinc and B vitamins (especially B6 and B12) are critical nutrients in male reproductive systems for several reasons, including hormone metabolism, sperm formation and motility.  The amino acids, L-arginine and L-carnitine have also been shown to be critical to the formation of healthy sperm.  Higher intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts are important, but supplements are also needed to get sufficient amounts of these nutrients for noticeable effects on sperm quality.

When do I take it? Take 2-4 capsules daily, any time of day, but preferably split into 2 doses to spread out absorption.  If taking vitamins or minerals on an empty stomach bothers you, take after meals.

What if I miss a day or two (FertilityBlend for Men)? Missing a day or two will not seriously affect results.  Just start taking it again as soon as you remember.  If desired, you can take up to 4 capsules a day after missing a dose.  Remember that results will not be optimal if you take this product sporadically.

Should I take more than the recommended dose? Taking any more than the recommended dose of 2-4 capsules per day will not produce any additional benefits and is not recommended.  Taking larger amounts than recommended can result in an upset stomach and potentially other medical problems. Please consult with your doctor immediately if you experience adverse symptoms after taking too much of any product.
