1. Trace elements that are beneficial to pregnancy
1.Zinc: Zinc is a necessary trace element for the human body, especially in terms of testicular development, sperm formation, and maintaining sperm vitality.The human zinc is mainly concentrated in the reproductive organs (such as testicles, epididymia, and prostate). The zinc content in semen is particularly high, mainly secreted by the prostate.
Zinc has a protective effect on sperm.First, it can be combined with the chromosomal cymbal in the sperm nucleus to prevent the chromosomal from converging prematurely.Secondly, zinc is one of the metal components of superal oxide ambition enzymes. It can maintain the normal shape, structure and function of sperm cells by eliminating free radicals and protecting sperm cell membrane.Finally, zinc also participated in the composition of many enzymes in the semen.Therefore, insufficient zinc content can affect the activity of these enzymes and reduce the vitality of sperm, which leads to a decline in male reproductive ability.Studies have found that zinc deficiency can cause sperm development to stagnate.Clinical data also shows that too low zinc levels in sperm pulp will affect sperm vitality, leading to decline in male reproductive ability. Proper zinc supplementation can increase the number and vitality of sperm, which is conducive to fertility.
2.Selenium: Selenium is pivotal in the human enzyme system and immune system. It is an important component of glutathione peroxidase in the spermatosus (this enzyme can prevent sperm membrane from forming peroxide lipids, so that sperm has good shapes and functions).It can neutralize the toxicity of cadmium and mercury to reproductive organs.It has been confirmed that the decline in selenium in semen is indeed related to infertility.
