Men Dealing with Infertility May Want to Evaluate Their Omega-3 Intake

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

If you’re a man struggling with infertility, there’s an interesting way for you to naturally boost your fertility — your intake of foods containing omega-3 fatty acids.

Where are omega-3 fatty acids found?  Look for them in oily fish (think salmon and anchovies), enriched milk and enriched yogurt.  And make sure you eat enough of them to have the same positive effect that occurred when researchers from the University of Illinois studied omega-3 fatty acid diets in mice.

The mice were missing an amino acid (DHC) that rendered them infertile.  However, when they added omega-3 fatty acid to their diets in substantial quantities, their infertility was reversed.

It’s a fascinating result and could be a solution for some men experiencing infertility.
