Sperm-Maxxing Buzz Triggers Real Talk on Male Fertility
Wellness influencers promoting supplements and 'sperm-maxxing' hacks are drawing attention to male fertility, but doctors warn much of the online guidance is unproven or risky; real gains come from medical evaluation (hormone tests, semen analysis) and proven lifestyle changes—weight, sleep, smoking, exercise, and avoiding heat exposure—while factors like age and environmental toxins also matter. Testosterone therapy can hinder fertility, and zinc/folate supplements haven’t consistently improved outcomes, though the trend has at least increased men’s engagement with reproductive health.
