I wanted to know if there is something
that my husband can take to build his
sperm count.

I'm probobly starting to sound like a
broken record here, but zinc, in the form
of calcium-magnesium-zinc supplements can
be effective for treating a number of
conditions, including low sperm count:
"causes for male infertility (low sperm
count) include tight-fitting jeans and
underwear that heat the scrotum and
testes, thereby inhibiting sperm
production. Very hot baths may hasten the
death of sperm. Environmental pollution
from cigarette smoke, heavy metals (lead,
mercury, arsenic), pesticides, solvents,
toxic chemicals, aflatoxin (a fungus found
on peanuts and grains), and synthetic
estrogens in poultry and dairy feed all
interfere with sperm formation and
protection. In a study of 100 males,
aflatoxin levels in infertile men were 60%
higher than in fertile men.
Marginal zinc status is associated with
poor sperm count and motility (especially
if testosterone levels are low). Zinc
supplementation improves both sperm count
and testosterone levels."
