Q: 

Can Vitamin C really increase male fertility?

I just read that "Vitamin C found in citrus fruits improves sperm count and motility". Is this true? If so, how much Vitamin C would be needed?

Apparently a 2001 Cleveland Clinic study linked abnormal levels of free radicals to male infertility becaue these free radicals can damage cells.

The theory is that vitamins C and E which are considered antioxidants can help fight these free radicals and potentially lessen infertility. WhYou may want to check with your doctor to determine if this is a possiblity or if there is another cause and potentially, another treatment. To find out more, visit the Cleveland Clinic's Web site.
