Herbs and Herbal Supplements to Increase Fertility in Males

Over the last several decades the rise in infertility rates among men has prompted medical experts to look for the causes. Men’s sperm counts have dropped dramatically and some experts fear an even greater decline in fertility in the future. One theory for this reduction is the over-exposure to estrogen and estrogen-like substances. These are found in pesticides, meat and dairy products, and even our water sources. This estrogen causes a reduction in testosterone production and overall sperm count.

To counter this assault on male fertility there are some herbal choices that may offer help. Herbal treatments are most successful for fertility issues caused by hormonal problems or weak sperm, as opposed to those involving structural problems such as a blocked sperm duct. Prescription drugs have shown promise in treating fertility but often lead to other complications, requiring additional drugs to counter these.

Testosterone is necessary to manufacture healthy sperm in adequate amounts to support fertility. Unfortunately, testosterone levels peak in late teens to early twenties and then gradually decline after that, sometimes as low as 20% by age 80. Even more troubling is the finding that testosterone levels have dropped world-wide since the 1940s, with some figures showing as much as a 50% drop. Ginseng has research-based support for its testosterone boosting properties. Ginseng has also been reported to increase the duration and firmness of erection. The overall health boosting benefit of ginseng is an added bonus.

The Use Of Herbal Supplements To Increase Fertility

Herbal remedies and supplements for infertility are not guaranteed to work. Each person will be affected by the herbs, and their active compounds, differently. The major benefit of most herbal treatments is the lack of side effects associated with them. It is still important to check for any cautions or drug interactions when starting on any herbal supplement. It is also important to be patient and allow the herbs time to work.
