Turmeric Can Help Protect Male Fertility
Although fertility is usually thought of as a female problem, in fact men are found to have infertility in 30-40% of couples having difficulties attaining pregnancies. Low sperm count, abnormal sperm, and reduced ability of sperm to move are all signs of male infertility. (x.60, 105)
