A contribution increased in folic acid (vitamin B9) at the men could reduce the chromosomal anomalies of the spermatozoids, according to a survey américaine1.
According to the authors of the survey, these are the first results to indicate that the food of the future dads could influence the quality of the spermatozoids. In theory, the contribution in folic acid at the men could therefore have an effect on the impact of the spontaneous abortions and the congenital abnormalities, the researchers advance. One already knows that, at the pregnant woman, the folic acid warns the malformations of the neural tube of the fetus in training
The survey has been led by 89 men in good health. According to the analysis of semen samples, the topics that consumed 1 mg of vitamin B9 per day presented 20% to 30% less abnormal spermatozoids compared to those that absorbed some of less big quantities.
The contributions made of zinc, in vitamins C and E or in betacarotene do not seem to have had no impact on the quality of the spermatozoids, return the researchers.
The beneficial effect observed in this survey requires a contribution in folate that is located to the superior limit of that that is generally considered like a bearable maximum contribution by the authorities of public health, make notice the researchers. They estimate therefore essential to conduct more studies before recommending advanced to the men to increase their contribution in vitamin B9.
