I probably sound like a broken record, but hey, if you didn't know, oxidative stress is a major player in men's infertility. And at the moment we have very expensive and limited ways to find out just how much it is affecting each man. It makes sense that supplements designed to combat oxidative stress would be the antidote. Right??!
Plot twist!
You'll need to listen to the end to hear all about which supplements we have researched, what the WHO recommends about male supplements, the risks of taking them when you don't need them, and some practical (and safe) changes we can make.

Wanna know if you're eating right to get pregnant faster? Don't be like the other 97%* of women who are missing out on some key foods (and baby-loving nutrients!). Get your Fertility Favourite Foods checklist here.

*A weirdly specific number, yes. A study of >5000 women in NZ found that most of them weren't eating enough of the foods we know help make the best babies. For more of a shocker, a similar study in Australia showed that 0% were eating ideally (even though two-thirds of them thought they were!)

Will you leave me a rating or review? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
