These three \nsupplements are only natural. One is plant based, the other is a natural steroid \nhormone produced by the adrenal glands and the third is an omega fatty acid. \nThey must be taken together, twice a day for 30 days. The results will be so \ngreat that you will want to continue this protocol, but I would only recommend \ndoing this only 6 months apart (twice a year). \n \n1. DIM (diindolylmethane) is a plant compound called an indole and has been \nshown to help regulate and promote a more efficient metabolism of estrogen, and \nan optimal ratio of estrogen metabolites. DIM balances estrogen levels, \npromoting health and well-being. This powerful phytonutrient is found in \nbroccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts, unlike other phytonutrients \nlike soy isoflavones, has no hormonal properties in itself. \n \n2. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a natural steroid hormone, one of the \nhormones produced by the adrenal glands. After being secreted by the adrenal \nglands, it circulates in the bloodstream as DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) and is \nconverted as needed into other hormones. DHEA is chemically similar to \ntestosterone and estrogen and is easily converted into those hormones. DHEA \nproduction peaks in early adulthood and declines in production with age in both \nmen and women. Therefore, many diseases which correlate with age also correlate \nwith low levels of DHEA production. Standard dosage is 100 mg twice a day. \n \n3. Fish Oil: Take 2,000 mg of rich, omega 3 fish oil, in doses of 1,000 mg, \ntwice a day. \n \nTo increase testosterone levels, consider taking DHEA 100 mg in divided dosage \n(50 mg, twice a day) with DIM-plus 60 capsule size (one capsule, twice a day for \na total of 100 mg) for a total of two capsules per day along with a "good fat" \nsuch as flaxseed or fish oil 1,000 mg, twice a day (2,000 mg total per day). \n \nAnother favorite combination of supplements I recommend for long term use are my \nMale Performance formula. Take this all natural herbal combination, two pills, \ntwice a day. Along with this, take 2,000 mg of L-Arginine (one of the best male \namino acids) in divided doses (1,000 mg), twice a day. (Take up to 3 months at a \ntime. Take a break for a month and then go back on the 3 month regime.) \n \nVitamin C research suggests it may prevent sperm from "clumping" together and \nthat it increases sperm count. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione - research \nshows that these and other antioxidants may improve sperm quality. Dose: 1,000 \nmg twice a day. \n \nVitamin E supplementation with this antioxidant has been shown to increase sperm \nmotility and to enhance the ability of the sperm to penetrate the egg in \ntest-tube studies. Dose: 400 IU daily. Talk to your doctor prior to starting \nVitamin E, particularly if you are currently taking aspirin or other blood \nthinners. \n \nSelenium: Dose: 200 mcg daily. Improves sperm motility. \nCoenzyme Q10: Take 10 mg daily. Increases sperm count and motility. \nZinc is an essential nutrient for proper sperm production. A deficiency may \nresult in lowered testosterone levels.. The usual recommended dosage of zinc is \nabout 15 to 30 mg daily, coupled with 1 mg of copper for balance. Too much zinc \ncan be toxic. Do not exceed a dose of 15 to 30 mg daily This mineral is found in \ngreat amounts in the outer layer of sperm and plays an important role in the \nproduction of the hormone testosterone. \n \nVitamin B12: Take 1000 mcg daily. A B-12 deficiency reduces sperm motility and \nsperm count. Even if no deficiency exists, B-12 supplementation may help men \nwith a sperm count of less than 20 million per milliliter or a motility rate of \nless than 50% Zinc and B Vitamins (B6, B12, and folic acid) are critical \nnutrients in the male reproductive system for proper hormone metabolism, sperm \nformation and motility. \n \nL-Arginine (Kidney Yang tonic) especially enhance sperm count. Studies indicate \nthat this amino acid may improve sperm motility. Take 4 gr daily. Needed to \nproduce sperm. If the sperm count is below 10 million per ml, arginine probably \nwill not provide any benefit. \n \nL-Carnitine (Yin and Blood tonic) especially enhance sperm count. Researchers \nhave found that L-carnitine is found in much greater amounts in sperm tissues \nthan other cells. Preliminary studies suggest that L-carnitine and \nacetyl-L-carnitine may be able to stimulate sperm motility in certain \nsituations. The role of L-carnitine on sperm maturation and sperm quality \nhowever, is still unclear. Several clinical studies have evaluated the effect of \nL-carnitine on men with a low sperm count, a reduction/loss in sperm movement, \nor men with both conditions. These studies have evaluated only small numbers of \nmen who took oral carnitine supplements for varying lengths of time. Some \npatients enrolled in these studies experienced increased sperm counts and/or \nincreased sperm motility. Take 3-4 grams daily. Required for normal sperm \nfunction. \n \nFlaxseed oil: Take 1 tbsp daily. Is a source of essential fatty acids. \nFish Oil: Take 2,000 mg of rich, omega 3 fish oil, in doses of 1,000 mg, twice a \nday. \n \nGinseng: increases production of testosterone and helps with sperm production. \nAvoid if you have high blood pressure or Yin deficiency (with heat signs). \n \nAndrew Pacholyk MS L.Ac \nhttps://www.peacefulmind.com/men.htm\r\n \r\n <!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n <!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n  \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n | \r\n
