Trace elements related to male infertility

  Text: In addition to the normal fertility function of men, in addition to the need for protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, water and sodium, and potassium, it also needs trace elements such as iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium.

  Zinc has the most close relationship with male fertility.Zinc deficiency can lead to a reduction of pituitary secretion gonadotropin and sperm production disorders.More importantly, zinc is at least related to more than 70 enzymes in the human body, especially with DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, and thymine nucleoside kinase.The zinc deficiency causes abnormal enzyme systems of the prostate. It affects the liquefaction of semen and the normal movement of sperm, which degenerates the hat -shaped top and sperm membrane of the sperm head. The ability of sperm swimming or penetrating eggs is greatly reduced.As a result, male infertility is caused.

  Other trace elements such as magnesium, copper, manganese, selenium, etc. are also related to men.The changes in the concentration of calcium ions and inorganic phosphorus in sperm pulp are one of the important reasons that affect the quality of semen; magnesium has a prominent "contribution", that is, to improve the vitality of sperm and enhance male fertility.Doctors have found that one of the reasons for semen does not liquefy is the lack of trace element magnesium.

  Some people abroad have used zinc supplement to restore the function of gonades, and the second sexual characteristics have improved significantly.It is also used for male infertility caused by zinc sulfate for zinc deficiency.

  TIPS: The most magnesium contains laver, 460mg of magnesium per 100g of seaweed, which is described as "treasure trove of magnesium".Xiaomi, corn, buckwheat noodles, sorghum noodles, oats, potatoes, all kinds of beans, and peanuts, sesame, seafood and banana, etc., are also foods containing more magnesium.
