Lecithin for Better Sperm: Myths or Truths?

Lecithin is a mixture of fatty acids; many of its components are naturally present in cell membranes, bile, and plasma. While there are many anecdotes about men using lecithin supplements to increase their load, there is no scientific evidence that lecithin has any effect on sperm or semen.

 

 

What are the benefits of lecithin?

 

Lecithin may help promote healthy digestion, lower cholesterol, and improve overall heart health. As a result, the substance is added to many foods. Food-grade lecithin is produced from processed oils of soybean, corn, and safflower, and it is listed as soybean lecithin in the ingredient list.

 

Most manufacturers use food-grade lecithin to make over-the-counter (OTC) lecithin supplements. In theory, OTC supplements provide the same health benefits as lecithin in food. But remember that there is no scientific evidence that taking lecithin supplements can affect the amount of semen you produce when you ejaculate.

 

Are there studies supporting other semen supplements?

 

Some studies have shown that certain supplements can help improve these factors to increase semen volume and overall performance:

 

D-aspartic acid (D-AA) supplements may help boost testosterone.

 

Fenugreek herbal supplements are also associated with increased testosterone.

 

Ashwagandhais is believed to increase semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm count.

 

Macagenmay help to reduce erectile dysfunction, increase sperm number, and motility.

 

Zinc may help balance testosterone levels and sperm quality.

 

If you are interested in trying one of these supplements, consult your doctor before using it. They may recommend certain products and provide information about dosage and side effects.

 

Is there any other way to increase semen production?

 

You can try one or more of the following to help improve sexual function and possibly increase semen volume:

 

Exercise regularly: Exercise everyday or exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Exercise can improve the blood flow of butylene, which may have a significant impact on your overall health.

 

Enough sleep: Sleep at least six to eight hours a night. Lack of sleep can reduce your semen quality.

 

Balanced diet: Insufficient nutrients will affect your health and may lead to sexual dysfunction.

 

Increase vitamin and mineral intake: Your vitamin C and D levels affect your fertility and testosterone levels. Take supplements or eat foods rich in these vitamins regularly.

 

However, it should be noted that the low quantity and quality of semen may be affected by inflammation, such as prostatitis. At this time, the above recommendations can only be used as auxiliary treatment. The most common treatment is antibiotics, however, due to the complex etiology of prostatitis, the special structure of prostate, drug resistance, and other side effects, so this treatment is not ideal.

 

Compared with antibiotics, traditional Chinese herbal medicine is safer and has no side effects, and it is the best choice for patients to treat prostatitis. The patent Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill invented by Dr. Lee Xiaoping has been proved to have a significant therapeutic effect in the treatment of prostatitis in clinical application for many years.

 

It is made of more than fifty kinds of herbs, such as plantain seed, dianthus superbus, polygonum aviculare, angelica, safflower, peach kernel, Houttuynia, cowherb seed, and so on. It can kill all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and eliminate inflammation effectively.

 

Besides, it also has the functions of clearing away heat and toxin, activating blood, promoting Qi, relieving pain, and diuresis. Therefore, it can help patients to regulate their whole body and improve their immunity, so as to achieve the effect of treating both symptoms and causes.
