Yes, many...: Taking vitamins may improve fertility if you are deficient. 1/3 of people can't convert Folic Acid to the active form so taking the 5-mthf form is best. Selenium & zinc are essential for sperm formation. The herb rhodiola can improve male & female fertility. Info on nutrients for fertility is at http://www.Marilynglenville.Com/womens-health-issues/infertility/ see comment:.
