NorthStar,
I have just been looking at Amazon and they have Maca and Horny Goats weed at a good price, cheaper as you said than H&B, there are too many brands and options though, I don´t know which one to buy?

 

[NorthStar]

Sorry Sus, haven't tried either product, but if the vendor has decent reviews I think it's worth trying them because H&B are pretty expensive.

 

[Sus09]

I will read some of the reviews!

hi ladies
DH has been taking 1/2 tsp of the powdered form maca and found that he had loads of energy and felt mentally alert as well. We got the Peruvian Red Maca, slightly more potent than the normal maca from an online UK supplier called Runners fuel (athletes swear by it!) and the bag has lasted for a long time so it was good value.

good luck everyone! Maca babies on the way

Thanks Peacebaby I am going to check that website now

Did his sex drive increase? I want my man to increas his

Yeah, that would be dangerous lol

 

[Sus09]

I found this about Maca

https://www.maca.co.uk/?gclid=COPur_G8w6wCFc8Z4QodNwG0pQ

it says the powder can be mixed in your favourite recipes, yummy cupcakes for my OH

 

[Em74]

I'll be ok if i can make the cakes look even remotely healthy my son won't touch them lol

 

[Sus09]

Just tell hime they are low fat, low in sugar and high in veg and vitamins

sus, the libido went through the roof so I took control and made sure he was having it just before and during the fertile days and then cut back at other times of my cycle.

apparently it does taste awful, so he had it in a yummy fruit smoothie initially but then felt the energy benefits outweighed the bad taste and start taking it straight up, mixed with aswaghanda (this is an ancient indian herb used specifically for the male reproductive system).

I must say I think that it made a huge difference to the strength of his swimmers. I firmly believe in these 2 herbs. I recommended it to a friend whose Dh was told his count was too low and motility so weak they were advised to consider adoption, well a few months of the powders and his doctors are amazed.

the quality of the herb is important, I got very good quality ashwaghanda from Baldwins, a well known herbal website. Homeopathic doses work so you only need a small bag.

Thaks Peacebaby, very useful,

So when and how much did he take? Does it make a difference if he takes it in capsules?
what do you think of this website? is it good quality?

[peacebaby]

no worries sus.

that looks good, though a bit expensive, I think(?).

it seems the website I ordered from is not up any more, it was ages ago!

the bag I have looks like this:
https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/organic-premium-red-maca-powder-500g.html

he was taking btwn 1/2 tsp to quarter tspn daily but the bag says 1xtsp daily. I guess it won't hurt to start on a low dose and see how it goes, maybe increase it around OV time?

 

[peacebaby]

oops forgot to say he was taking it in the am, otherwise insomnia might kick in with the energy buzzz!

 

[Milty]

does anyone know a good place to get it in the US or do you think Amazon would be best?

 

[Natsby]

Wow thanks Peacebaby, that sounds interesting, def going to get some of that.

Also for both parties Vitamin C is important, this is what I fould in an article about C and men´s reproductive health.
"This study was carried out to monitor the effect of oral supplementation of vitamin C on various semen parameters in oligospermic, infertile, otherwise healthy individuals. Various semen parameters, including sperm motility, sperm count, and sperm morphology, were studied before and after the vitamin C treatment. A total of 13 infertile patients were included. Their ages ranged between 25 and 35 years. They had no genital infection or varicocele. Physical examination and other routine laboratory investigations were normal. General semen analysis revealed oligozoospermia (mean sperm count was 14.3 +/- 7.38 x 10(6) sperms/mL, mean sperm with normal morphology was 43 +/- 7.87%, and mean sperm motility was 31.2 +/- 9.61%). Testicular biopsy was not done. These patients received in an open trial of 1,000 mg of vitamin C twice daily for a maximum of 2 months. Results showed that the mean sperm count was increased to 32.8 +/- 10.3 x 10(6) sperms/mL (P < .001) after 2 months of vitamin C intake. The mean sperm motility was increased significantly to 60.1 +/- 8.47% (P < .001), and mean sperms with normal morphology increased significantly to 66.7 +/- 4.77% (P < .001). This study showed that vitamin C supplementation in infertile men might improve sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology and might have a place as an additional supplement to improve the semen quality towards conception."
I´m going to have both of us on high dose C until we do IUI and see if it helps.

hi natsby

yes, dh is still on high dose Vit C, apparently it acts as antioxidant for the swimmers and protects them from cellular damage. A TCM specialist I spoke to recently also advised that it's good for the male to take Vit E, it protects from chromosonal abnormalities. We found out too late about this but will certainly remember next time.

I recall you saying that your mom was telling you how important VIT C is, she was right

hope all was good with your tests.
