5 Foods to Increase Sperm Count, Production, and Motility
Can Food Increase Sperm Count Naturally?
Learn how to increase sperm count with food – because eating the right foods can help sperm production and motility.
To improve your sperm count and health, you need to eat the right foods — which is what these fertility tips are all about.
Before the tips, a quip:
“It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions,” says Dave Berry. “This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million sperm cells… to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.”
It takes billions of sperm to help one little guy get to the egg. Healthy men should have millions of sperm per teaspoon of ejaculate.
If you’re worried about your sperm count and are skeptical about whether food will help, try FertilAid for Men. It’s the bestselling male fertility supplement on the market.
And here are five foods to increase sperm count, production, and motility…
Foods for Increasing Sperm Count, Production, and Motility
If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, there’s at least a 30% chance it’s because of male fertility problems. That’s why it’s so important to eat the right foods.
Red peppers, carrots, oatmeal, dried apricots
The vitamin A in these foods help grow healthy sperm and improve male fertility. “Deficiencies in vitamin A in men have been linked to lowered fertility due to sluggish sperm,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting.
To increase sperm count and motility, eat dark green lettuce, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, and dairy fortified with vitamin A.
Asparagus, snow peas, cooked tomatoes, strawberries
The vitamin C in these foods affect sperm motility and viability (how fast and effectively they swim). Vitamin C and vitamin A are found in many of the same foods: kale, red peppers, sweet potatoes, yellow veggies and fruits. The antioxidants in these foods help increase sperm count by decreasing harmful free radicals.
Turkey, eggs, seafood, oysters, pumpkin seeds
“Inadequate amounts of zinc an lead to low testosterone levels and diminished sperm count,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting.
Zinc is actually quite widespread – it’s also found in beef, yogurt, oatmeal, corn.
Leafy green veggies, avocados, beans, whole grains
Make sure you’re getting enough folic acid, because low levels can lead to birth defects. Men with low levels of folate have more sperm with chromosomal abnormalities. To increase your sperm count, production, and motility, make sure you’re eating lots of dark green veggies and fruit. You may want to consider a folic acid supplement.
If you’re worried about your sperm count, production, or motility, try an at-home male male fertility test — such as the Sperm Check for Fertility (it’s a male sperm test to help determine if you have sperm problems).
Salmon, sardines, anchovies, walnuts
“DHA and other essential omega-3 fatty acids help improve blood flow to the genitals and increase sexual function,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting. “Fertile men’s sperm contains more of this essential fatty acid than the sperm of infertile men.” Other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids include arugula, crab, shrimp, flax, and chicken. To increase sperm count, load up on foods that contain healthy omega-3s!
Consider a sperm supplement for male infertility
Sperm supplements and vitamins such as FertilAid for Men may not increase male fertility for all men — it depends on the cause of the infertility or health issues. But, supplements may not hurt! Always talk to your doctor or fertility specialist about supplements for sperm production, especially if you’re taking prescription medication.

I welcome your comments on how to increase sperm count, but I can’t offer medical advice. Please talk to your doctor, urologist, or fertility specialist if you need help with sperm health.

Hello all,
I can’t offer personal medical advice or tips on improving sperm count with foods. All I know is the research I did for this article, and everything I learned about how food improves sperm health is here in this article.
To get more specific health advice, you need to talk to a urologist or family doctor in person.
I wish you all the best in getting pregnant.

Thanks, Tee, for your foods that increase sperm count, production, and motility!
While food doesn’t necessarily create sperm, it can help sperm get healthy and strong.
For low sperm counts you need to eat a very strict diet. I was given a chart by a very good doctor who does herbal and all.
drink: boil water with cloves and cinannmon and drink occasionally
breakfast: eggs in any form
lunch and dinner: deer, pigeon, beef, mutton, spinach, yoghurt curry, black chick peas, tomatoes, onions and red peppers. cook using red pepper and salt only. you can use cloves and cinammon as herbs.
nuts: walnuts, figs, raisans and pistachio
no bread etc and certainly no tea and coffee!!! but you can have bread cooked with chick pea flour.
have atleast 4 glasses of milk everyday! its best to get fresh milk and avoid packed and processed food.
i know it sounds worse then what you will be get in a prison cell but this stuff works and has been given by traditional doctors for generations.
if you need for information let me know.
If your sperm count is low, you need to talk to a urologist or fertility doctor about how to increase it. The internet – and articles like this, about foods and ways to increase sperm count and production – is good for general information.
To get specific medical advice, you need to talk to a doctor in person. Get examined, learn why your sperm volume or count is so low, and get help from a medical professional.
Blessings,
Laurie
Hey me and my boyfriend have been trying to conceive for 2yrs and nothing seems to help weve been to the urology doctor and they say his sperm volume was low so we decided to try the gerital and dont seem to work so we tried the preseed and it dont work. he work out monday through thursday and he only drink on the weekend and we also eat veggies everyday. is there something we can do to increase his sperm volume please help
Sir i want to know that which foods can increase my spirm counts.
i need urgent reply.
husband is a diabetic, taking insulin, sperm count is good but sperm has no tail to swim, what can he do to increase sperm count and grow tails on sperm to swim, very low ejactulation.
Pekelele, my advice is to have your wife examined by a gynecologist. Yes, couples still have babies in their early 40s, but it is harder to get pregnant. A fertility doctor or gynecologist may be able to increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Mannu and Madhu, the article above describes what foods may improve sperm count, production, and motility. I don’t know of other foods that help sperm health.

Yes, here’s an article for you:
Male Fertility Tests You Can Do at Home
I hope it helps!

Hi,
May I know how can I perform a home test for sperm count. Is there any kit to perform such home test?
Thanks,
Kamlesh
The best foods I know of to improve sperm count are the fruits, veggies, meats, and nutrients in this article. I can’t offer personal advice for improving sperm production and health.
If you want to have a family but can’t get pregnant, you need to talk to a doctor in person. Men should start with their family doctors, and get a referral to a urologist.
You might also consider an at home test for sperm count, to see where you stand!
I wish you all the best, and hope your family starts soon.
Blessings,
Laurie
