FertilMan Plus

FertilMan Plus contains a comprehensive formulation of nutrients, including Zinc which contributes to normal fertility, reproduction and DNA synthesis. It also contains Copper and Vitamin C to contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, as does Zinc. (Sperm can be damaged by free radicals and Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to reduce the number of free radicals).

Semen contains a highly concentrated level of Zinc, making Zinc an important mineral for male reproduction. It is estimated that about 5mg of Zinc is lost with each ejaculation and that is equivalent to about 50% of the recommended daily level of Zinc a man should take, That’s why we have included 20mg of zinc within our FertilMan Plus formulation
Sperm development and testosterone levels

Our FertilMan Plus formulation contains a increased levels of Selenium as it is proven to contribute to normal sperm development (spermatogenesis). Zinc contributes to the maintenance of testosterone levels in the blood and Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Our FertilMan Plus formula also includes Vitamin A as it has a role in cell specialisation and Folate (Folic Acid), Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 as all have a role in cell division.

Our FertilMan Plus formula also includes other important ingredients including L-Arginine, L-Taurine, Co-Enzyme Q10 and L-Glutathione. Our formula also contains a high level of L-Carnitine L-Tartrate at a level which is 12 times stronger than FertilMan original.

Many studies have been carried out on these ingredients which you may be interested in and some of these are listed below.

To ensure that our formulation also helps support your health and general wellbeing FertilMan Plus also contains a number of other key ingredients. We have also included increased levels of Co-Enzyme Q10 and Vitamin C and Vitamin B12. Vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to normal red blood cell formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin A, C and D contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Take two tablets, twice a day after a meal. Swallow with a glass of water. Can be taken as soon as a couple start planning a pregnancy. Suitable for vegetarians.

FertilMan Plus is blister packed to keep each capsule fresh by reducing exposure to the atmosphere. There are 120 tablets in each packet.
