Men need less vitamin B9 than women. However, a lack of this substance sharply reduces the likelihood of conception. This explains why you should take folic acid while planning pregnancy.
Vitamin B9 stimulates the synthesis of cells, including sperm. If there is little of it, the volume and quality of seminal fluid decrease. In rare cases, the proportion of dead sperm increases, the mobility of the rest worsens, and against this background, infertility ultimately develops. This proves that taking foline is important for expectant parents.
A man planning a pregnancy is usually prescribed 0.7 to 1.1 mg of vitamin B9 per day. It should be taken immediately before conception. Like women, men are often prescribed vitamin E along with folin, but for the reason that under its influence more sperm is produced.
