In a new pharmaceutical combination, the herb, Vitex agnus-castus (chasteberry),
enhances hormone balance by increasing progesterone release and, therefore, ovulation
frequency. The antioxidants, green tea, vitamin E, and selenium, improve overall
reproductive health. L-arginine, an amino acid, stimulates the reproductive organs
by improving circulation. Folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc and magnesium
help promote womens' fertility. Sperms are highly susceptible to free radical or
oxidative damage from environmental toxicants and natural aging. Vitamins C and
E, coenzyme Q10 and selenium are all potent antioxidants that help improve sperm
counts and quality. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant found in Dong quai, also improves
sperm quality. Zinc and B vitamins (B6, B12 and folate) are critical nutrients
in male reproductive systems for hormone metabolism, sperm formation and motility.
The amino acid, L-carnitine, promotes formation of healthy sperm.
