Selenium And Male Fertility

It appears that the mineral selenium (Se) is important if not essential for male fertility. Scientists at Norwich Laboratory and at the U. of Birmingham, both of U.K.,* have discovered that fertile males have significantly more selenium in their sperm than infertile men.

DETAILS: Perhaps paradoxically, Se has also been shown to be preventative of prostate cancer.

NOTE: Se is harmful in large doses, but 200 micorograms a day seems to be safe.

*Drs. Hurst, St. John, Barratt, Bao & Williamson, reported at the May, l999 annual meeting of the Federation of Amer. Societies for Experimental Biology, whose members include the Amer.Physiological Soc., Soc. for Pharmacology, Investigative Pathology, Immunologists, Vascular Biology, Nutrition Research, etc.
