Its well known that folate (folic acid) is essential for the healthy development of unborn children. Almost all woemn currently take a folate vitamin if they are pregnant and they should also start taking it before they before.
But a new study shows that guys would benefit from taking folate to help the child bearing process. The study released by University of California, Berkeley showed that men who took a supplement that contained around 1mg of folic acid produced less abnormal sperms. The number produced was about 20-30 per cent less between two study groups.
The price for folic acid supplements can be quite low in North America (about four of five dollars for a package of 100 pills) so for any guy planning on starting a family its looks like an essential purchase.
