My husband thinks he has a low sperm count. Is there a vitamin or something you can do to increase your sperm count? We've been trying for a baby for 8 months and No luck. Let me know soon please!

Hello,
First of all, your husband should get a semen analysis done to find out if he is having a normal sperm count. He should eat a diet that includes whole, unprocessed foods. The best foods for health in general, and also for sperm count problems, are whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seed. Avoid alcohol, smoking, take more of proteins and fresh vegetables. Minerals like zinc & selenium, amino acids like l-carnitine, and antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E are very crucial to sperm health.
