A functional medicine doctor discusses how antioxidants improve sperm quality and pregnancy outcomes. Ask AI Mark shares what he's seen treating infertile couples: simple, safe, inexpensive nutrients can make a real difference.
We can protect sperm quality, we can protect the morphology, and we can increase the chances that someone gets pregnant. And actually men on antioxidants, they have a four times higher rate of getting their wife pregnant and a five times higher rate of that woman having a live birth when they're taking antioxidants prior to conception.
Yeah, I think that's a very important point. And I really understood this from my own practice as a functional medicine doctor and treating infertile couples and I would treat both the men and the women and I would see really much greater results. So I think it's very important. And I think what you're saying also is important to emphasize which is that it's these simple things, just simple nutrients that are safe and well-tolerated and inexpensive, can have a profound effect on sperm quality, sperm health, and the outcome of a pregnancy, which is just remarkable to me.
