Nutrition, Fertility, and Human Reproductive Function

One in six couples around the world experience infertility. Before undertaking expensive and intrusive assisted reproductive treatment such as in vitro fertilization, many seek advice from their physicians or dietitians on what foods and supplements might enhance their fertility. This book provides a comprehensive review of the role of nutrition in human fertility, focusing on the impact of diet and nutritional supplements on essential reproductive processes in women such as ovulation, early embryo development, implantation, and sexual function. It also examines impact on male reproductive hormones and sperm production.
