A member asked:
Ttc, should my husband increase his intake of zinc-rich foods or is it ok for him to take zinc tablets ?

I dont think: The zinc will hurt but are you sure this will help and are you sure he has an issue with his sperm count?

Probably neither: Unless his diet is unusual or his semen testing is suggestive, added zinc will not help.

Neither: If his semen analysis is normal, he will not benefit from any of the zinc supplements.
