Alarm for all men who want to become fathers! Some soy products could reduce the amount of sperm in the semen. According to a recent study, men who eat soy products may have a level of semen below average. A study was conducted on a small group of men undertaken at Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center from 2000 to 2006. Although the study showed that some men who regularly consume soy products had a lower number of spermatozoids, the researchers who conducted the study did not attribute the cause of low concentration of sperm to soy products. Furthermore, despite the noticed decline, the quantity of sperm is still in the norm.

Researchers do not deny that during the study a lower level of sperm was recorded in men who regularly consume soy products, but others believe that other factors may be involved such as obesity or simply overweight. Moreover, according to some researchers, 99% of men involved in the study did not allow a comprehensive representation of the average population.


During the study, sperm samples were collected from participants who filled out a questionnaire with questions concerning the frequency and quantity of their consumption of soy products. This questionnaire, which gathered data for a period of three months, showed that 40 participants did not consume soy products, 18 less than a couple of times per month, 22 said they consume a cup every month, and 20 pointed out they consume a cup once a week.

A study, conducted by Jorge Chavarri from Harvard School of Public Health, is available in the Human Reproduction journal. Researchers argue that the clinical significance of his research remains to be determined, but Chavarri said that the isoflavones in soybeans - hormones that have similar effects to estrogen - could have an impact on the number of sperm. The study did not demonstrate that the amount of sperm was abnormal, whereas the level has reached peaks at low concentrations, nevertheless, it reported a deviation among the non-soy consumers.


It must be emphasized that the study showed that the lowest concentration of sperm was found among consumers of soybeans who were obese or overweight. In any event, before drawing any conclusions, further research will be used to demonstrate a link between soy consumption and reduced concentration of sperm in men. If you are affected by infertility, be aware that ingestion of products containing soy does not seem to favor the resolution of this problem.

Medical research seeks to understand why some people can not give birth to a child. It is not limited to just find causes, it also attempts to find alternatives such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) – Acupuncture that may increase the chances of conceiving, as it was demonstrated from a study conducted by researchers from the School of Medicine, University of Maryland in the United States and the VU University of Amsterdam.

Recent tendencies to cure infertility are herbal therapies. People are resorting more and amore to natural products due to the nasty side-effects of chemical drugs. A lot of men have obtained excellent results with herbal treatment, furthermore, they had undergone any side-effect. Plants may be very useful to cure infertility, however, they must be consumed under the supervision of herbal experts.

To enhance sperm quantity and quality, herbal products act during male orgasm. As orgasm goes on, the contractions intensity and duration is reduced and intervals get longer. Nevertheless, the larger the sperm volume is, the more contractions it takes to be unloaded, each contraction being stronger and more intense than the previous one. This is where the herbal ingredients come in to not only act on the ejaculate volume and quantity but also on the sperm health.

Medical research is an ongoing process, soon no man on earth will suffer from infertility, meantime, herbal drugs seem to be an excellent solution.
