Did you know that epidemiological studies have proven that the nutritional status of the father prior to conception as well as lifestyle factors such as body composition, toxin exposure and stress levels can impact metabolic and neurodevelopment and immune health in offspring.
Here are some easy ways to ensure “dad to be” is getting in the right nutrients..
👉🏻 Supplementing with folate - while benefits of maternal folate have been widely promoted for years now, the role of folate in paternal preconception has been proven now just as important. Why? Folate deficiency in males is associated with altered sperm DNA methylation And increased risk of brith defects.
👉🏻 Vitamin C,E, Zinc, B12 and selenium all assist at improving overall reproductive health.
👉🏻 Supplementing with coQ10 and omega 3 fatty acids (vegan or marine source) has been shown to increase sperm concentration motility and morphology.
✨ There are also many other factors that go into preconception care for both mother and father.
When supplementing, it’s important to get the right information from a trusted practitioner as some herbs and some nutrients are not safe during pregnancy.
