Study Finds Correlation Between Fish Oil and Sperm Health

You may not be worried about your fertility at the moment, but there may come a time in your life when you and a lucky lady will want to put those swimmers to work. Unfortunately, infertility affects roughly 15 percent of all couples, and nearly half of those fertility issues are due to male factors. However, a recent study has found that there may be a natural pill that could bring men more fertile results: fish oil.

A group of scientists from Harvard, the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark conducted research on a group of 1,679 healthy young men in Denmark. The resulting study, published in JAMA Network Open, found that participants who took fish oil supplements experienced higher semen volume and total sperm count. They also noted larger testicular size, presumably because they were packing so many more swimmers.

Of course, a randomized clinical trial is still necessary to determine if these results can be replicated among a group of previously unselected men, but these preliminary findings are still pretty promising.

The study states that an overall decline in semen quality has been noted over the past 50 to 70 years, but the cause of this decline likely varies by region. Differing lifestyle and behavioral changes are certainly at play, as well as exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in some areas. Diet is also likely to play a role, according to a 2017 systematic review which found that a healthy diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin D and folate — and low in saturated fatty acids and trans–fatty acids — could produce better semen quality. That said, it shouldn't be forgotten that sperm health is likely to have a direct correlation to overall health, so it’s of the utmost benefit to both you and your boys to keep yourself healthy in all regards.

With environmental factors completely out of our control, it’s promising to know that men might be able to take charge of their own sperm health — and it’s as easy as adding a capsule to your daily vitamin arsenal (like this top-rated option). You might also choose to add more fish to your diet to get all of those great sperm-boosting nutrients right from the source. Plus, a tasty meal may be preferable to taking a pill that's likely to give you the fish burps anyway. You might as well enjoy on its way down, right?
