Sperm are faster with vitamin D

esperma-antiguo Vitamin D has long been known to be important for reproduction in both animals and humans. But it is now that, for the first time, scientists from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) have shown that the higher the level of vitamin D in the blood, the greater the mobility of human sperm, and the faster they advance . The results are published in the latest issue of the journal Human Reproduction .

The study fails to clarify, however, whether using vitamin D supplements could improve sperm quality both in healthy men and in subjects with fertility problems. "The low quality of semen can be attributed to numerous causes, but it usually has a fetal origin, similar to some genital malformations," explains Anders Juul, co-author of the study. "However, this study indicates that there are factors in adult life that can also affect semen quality ."

Having low levels of vitamin D has also been linked to allergies, asthma, Parkinson's, and obesity, among other health disorders.

The stories of cryptic pregnancies - those in which the woman does not know she is pregnant until the moment of delivery - have always seemed impressive to me, and the one that we will share today is not only impressive, but it fills us with hope and wonder.

The first two weeks are key to the success of pregnancy

The first two weeks are critical for the success of the pregnancy, since, during those 14 days after ovulation, the embryo has to implant in the uterus, and any irregularity can cause implantation failure or the death of the embryo, even before the woman is aware of her early pregnancy. This is how the experts from the MARGen clinic in Granada explain it in an article published in the magazine Frontiers.
