Selenium

Selenium

Selenium is a trace mineral that supports antioxidant defenses in sperm, helping protect against DNA damage. It’s particularly important for sperm motility

Does it really work?

Yes. Clinical studies link selenium supplementation with improved sperm motility and morphology. It works best when combined with other antioxidants like vitamin E.

Can I get enough in real food?

Yes. Brazil nuts are the richest source (one nut can meet daily needs), along with fish, eggs, and whole grains.

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

Often yes. Selenium supports sperm motility and DNA integrity, and many diets don’t provide consistent amounts. A supplement is a safe way to ensure optimal fertility support.
