Lycopene can improve the quality of sperm in men.

An experiment by doctors in New Delhi, India, found that lycopene improves the quality of men's sperm. In the experiment, infertile men between the ages of twenty-three and forty-five were asked to take two milligrams of lycopene orally twice a day. After three months, their sperm concentration, motility and shape were checked again. Three-quarters of the men showed improvements in sperm motility and morphology, while twenty showed increased sperm concentration. At the end of the experiment, the wives of six of the men were pregnant, so the results were statistically significant.

Lycopene levels are high in the testes of healthy men, but low in the testes of infertile men. Oral lycopene, on the other hand, has positive definite benefits in the treatment of unexplained male infertility because lycopene is a naturally occurring strong antioxidant, and most of its distribution in the body is in the kidneys and prostate and testes. Normal human daily lycopene intake of 7 to 8 mg can meet the normal nutritional requirements, if there is a cure or health care needs should increase the intake of more than 30 mg per day is preferred, lycopene on the human body does not have any side effects, do not have to worry about excessive intake. However, lycopene is a fat-soluble vitamin, raw tomatoes can be absorbed by the lycopene is very limited, should be taken in addition to lycopene food supplements to increase intake. Common lycopene supplements on the market are mostly lycopene capsules, many brands, the content is generally in the 1 ~ 8 mg / capsule (of course, except for online sales of tens of dollars a bottle, lycopene because of its natural properties, extraction and preservation of higher costs, so cheap no good). However, lycopene capsules are usually chemically extracted and then dissolved in olive oil and other fats and oils are preserved in the capsule, and its biggest drawback lies in the chemical residue potential problems and absorption efficiency. There is currently a liquid lycopene on the market - Red Drink, each can of lycopene content of 10 mg or more. Safe and healthy, pregnant women, infants, the elderly and other weak sensitive digestive capacity of the crowd can be assured of drinking. Liquid lycopene from the absorption effect, lycopene content or security are better than capsules, the only drawback is that tin cans are not easy to carry around.
