Hello All,

I am looking for the holy grail formula to increase sperm count

There is no such thing as the "holy grail formula to increase sperm count" there are things that help both, OTC and medications that are prescribed by a doctor.

You need to slow down and do several things first before making a post like you made. Answer these questions first, How old are you? What research have you done? and honestly, when it comes to your HPTA axis and ability to reproduce its an area that you need to discuss with a doctor.

1. Go to a reproductive endocrinologist, discuss your concerns. The endo will run several tests; blood work to check FSH, LH, Estrogen, SHBG, testosterone and free testosterone etc
2. The endo will also have you do an SA or as its commonly known a semen analysis, because quite frankly you dont know what your sperm quantity, quality or motility is yet. You could have normal levels, above normal levels, or be sterile. Its an unknown that you need to find out.
3. Wait for the results
4. Should you need pharmacological help, your doc will prescribe a regimen for you...I could easily list the drugs that are used, but i will not because i fear you will try to source them through other means and use them how you see fit; doing so can cause more problems than you realize.
5. Assuming you have no sperm, or very few sperm, you can expect to be on medications for atleast 90 days as thats the time period it takes for sperm to be produced.

I was taking 50MG on top of other zinc rich foods and my stomach got messed up. If you do take 50's dont take them every day.

Shefe,

Great, thanks for the info.

In regards to your supplements, i would suggest you stop everything except for the zinc, and take a good multi vitamin, the other stuff isnt going to do anything to help your fertility, and the soy absolutely needs to go, soy promotes the production of estrogen in males.

One of the biggest factors here is your lack of blood work, and are going to be the biggest indicator at this point; my guess is your FSH and LH levels are below reference range for your age. Your volume is a bit low but that can vary quite a bit anyway. The low percentage of motility is an indicator that your hormonal levels are to low to adequately produce sperm in a quick enough fashion.

Please get the following blood work:
FSH
LH
SHBG
Testosterone
Free Testosterone
Estrogen
Prolactin
PSA (worth doing)
Full Blood panel e.g. cholesterol, hemoglobin, etc

I don't really know which, but I have been taking Garlic, zinc, and lysine frequently the past week or 2, and my amount of precum has increased exponentially in the past 4 days. Too much, in my opinion. Also, my loads have been alot more full, and strong. For whatever its worth!
