FolicM® sublingual is a folic acid
supplement for men. For men??? Yes, for
men. The benefits of folic acid extend
far and beyond those for pregnant women
(see our
What is Folic Acid
page for more information). In addition,
folic acid and zinc may play an integral
role for men and fertility*. |

As folic acid is essential to DNA
and RNA synthesis, it would stand to
follow that is also important to the
healthy production of cells,
including those involved in
reproduction. FolicM® was designed
to help support the healthy
production of reproductive cells,
specifically male sperm.
Research conducted by the University
Medical Center in Nijmegen, The
Netherlands, and Tygerberg Hospital
and University of Stellenbosch in
South Africa, support the argument
that Folic Acid is important for men
and possibly for their fertility*.
The Netherlands/South African study
revealed that a combination
treatment of folic acid and zinc
improved overall sperm count in
subfertile men by 74%.* |

As fertility and potency are serious
medical issues, consult a physician
prior to beginning a FolicM® program. An
excerpt from the study is below. For

"Male factor subfertility is
a multifactorial disorder.
Our findings emphasize the
importance of two
micronutrients on
spermatogenesis (folic acid
and zinc sulfate).
Unlike genetic factors,
nutritional factors can be
changed by increasing
intake. However,
whether the improvement in
sperm concentration observed
after administration of
folic acid and zinc will
lead to an increase in
pregnancy rates remains to
be established. Before
wide-scale implementation of
combined zinc and folic acid
administration, we recommend
that a larger, randomized,
placebo-controlled study on
the efficacy and safety of
these nutraceuticals be
done. Nevertheless,
our findings suggest new
avenues of future fertility
research and treatment." |
