What are the benefits of taking folic acid for men?

Men should take less folic acid in normal times, mainly because you don’t know the medicinal value of folic acid. You only know that folic acid is good for the conception environment and fetal development for female friends, but you don’t think that folic acid can improve sperm quality for male friends, and folic acid can reduce the deformity of fertilized eggs. I hope male friends can make good use of the value of folic acid.

In order to prevent the birth of congenital malformations, many women who are preparing to have children know that they should start taking folic acid three months before pregnancy. But you may not know that taking folic acid is not just for women. In order to prevent birth defects and give birth to smart and healthy babies, men should also take folic acid before pregnancy.

Although the child is conceived in the mother's body, the quality of the offspring depends largely on the quality of the fertilized egg. The prospective father can improve the quality of sperm and increase the chance of the prospective mother to conceive by supplementing folic acid every day after marriage; the intake of nutrients such as β-carotene and zinc can better improve the quantity and quality of the prospective father's "seeds"; and appropriate supplementation of vitamin B6 can help the prospective father's "good seeds" "meet, take root, and sprout" in the happy land of the prospective mother, laying a healthy foundation for nurturing the baby.

Men with the highest levels of folic acid intake have the lowest chance of sperm abnormalities. Low levels of folic acid in men can cause their semen to carry too many or too few chromosomes. If an egg combines with these abnormal sperm, it may cause birth defects such as Down syndrome and increase the chance of miscarriage in women.

Through this article's analysis of the benefits of folic acid for men, I believe you all know that it is very good for men to take folic acid on a regular basis to improve sperm quality. If you want to prepare for conception, it is recommended that men should take more folic acid, and you should avoid bad habits of smoking and drinking.
