Male fertility supplements made with zinc and folic acid do nothing to help sperm count or quality
Friday, January 10, 2020 IST
• A recent study published in the medical journal JAMA found that zinc and folic acid supplements marketed to help improve male fertility actually do nothing to improve sperm quality or count.
• Half of the survey group of 2,380 men took supplements containing zinc and folic acid for six months, and study authors concluded that there were no significant differences between their sperm before and after the trial.
• Many supplements claim to have unfounded health benefits, and have been called a waste of money by nutritionists and doctors alike.
