Benefits of Lysine: It is required for growth and bone development in children, as it helps in the absorption of calcium and also maintains the correct nitrogen balance in the body and to prevent obesity. Furthermore it is needed to produce antibodies, hormones, enzymes, collagen formation as well as repair of tissue. It is also essential for the patients recovering from injuries and recovery after operations as it helps in the building of muscle proteins. Dose: To treat symptoms: 3,000 – 9,000 mg per day in divided doses. To prevent recurrences: 500 – 1,500 mg/day.
Vitamins & Nutrients i.e. Selenium: Deficiency may cause infertility. It is needed to properly shape sperm and to maintain count. It may have a key role in the functioning of the epididymis. It is an antioxidant, which protects the cells in the sperm that have a high fat content. Sources: tuna, herring, brewer's yeast, wheat germ and bran, whole grains, and sesame seeds. Dosage: RNI 75 mcg/day.

Vitamins & Nutrients i.e. Coenzyme Q10: Important for energy production. It also improves blood flow. It is present in large amounts in the seminal fluid. It protects them against free radical damage, gives sperm energy (along with fructose), and increases their motility. Dosage: 50-90 mg per day.
Vitamins & Nutrients i.e. Essential Fatty Acids: Very important to take when trying to conceive. EFA's act as hormone regulators. Omega-3 DHA and Omega-6 arachidonic acid are important structural elements of cell membranes, body tissue, and brain development in the fetus. Sperm contain high concentrations of omega-3, in particular DHA (found in oily fish). DHA is in the sperm tail (motility). Sources: Omega-3; flaxseed, oily fish (mackerel, herring, salmon, sardines), walnuts, green leafy veggies, and tuna (not more than 150g/week). Sources: Omega-6; seeds and their oils.
