Question : hpw to increase active motility

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Zinc and folic acid supplementation can make a difference

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I assume that you are talking about sperm motility when you are talking about 'active motility'. I would appreciate if you specify.

Research has shown that sperm motility (and count) are significantly increased with regular intake of zinc supplements (like Cobadex CZS) containing 60 mg of zinc to be taken per day, along with folic acid (folvite tablets) 5 mg once daily to be taken for 6 months or so.

Hope that helps.
