Men's Fertility

MH5: Important Herbs for Male Fertility

Elizabeth Willett - M.A., Certified Herbalist

Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Men are just as likely as women to have reproductive health issues that not only impact a couple’s ability to conceive, but their quality of life. Male sexual dysfunction is often at the top of many a men’s list of concerns and can impact men’s fertility. Low libido, erectile dysfunction (impotence) and premature ejaculation can each make conceiving a child more challenging than it should be. MH5 is an herbal reproductive tonic formulated specifically to support male reproductive health and fertility. MH5 combines the most important herbs for a variety of components of male fertility, including hormonal balance and sexual function.

Popular Herbs for Male Fertility

American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) – A traditional rejuvenation tonic for men, American ginseng nourishes and supports the nervous system, immune function, and proper hormonal balance. It may support healthy sex drive, erectile dysfunction and enhance sexual performance.

Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) – Traditionally used in both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, Tribulus supports normal sperm count, motility and morphology, improves erectile function, sexual function and libido. Tribulus is known to help increase luteinizing hormone (LH), DHEA and encourages normal testosterone production- all factors which influence sperm quality and health.

Maca root (Lepidium meyenii)– A tonic for the hormonal system, maca supports and nourishes the hypothalamus and thyroid, encouraging normal sperm health as well as sexual function/libido, increased energy, stamina, and mental clarity.

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) – Nourishing to the entire endocrine system, saw palmetto supports overall reproductive function in men. Men with low sperm count, low libido, stress, who are irritable or experiencing anxiety, who have poor immune function, poor lifestyle and dietary habits have shown to benefit from this herb.

Yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe) – Found to support healthy male libido and increase circulation to the male reproductive organs and erectile tissues, yohimbe helps to sustain an erection and potentially make an erection firmer.

Be sure to review our compilation of important research on the best natural treatment options for male fertility, from poor sperm count and health, low libido to infertility and beyond in our Male Fertility Resources. We also offer male Fertility Consultations if going the path to reproductive wellness alone is daunting, you’re not sure where to start, or what natural therapies are best for your needs.

Notes on these herbs worth mentioning:

  • Not to be used by those with hypertension or on hypertension medications.
  • Recent human trials have shown that American ginseng taken in high doses may alter the effects of Warfarin, a blood thinning medication.
  • Saw Palmetto berry liquid extract should have a strong aromatic flavor. If the product you purchased isn’t, it may not be as effective. Older berries lose their effectiveness.
  • Yohimbe should not be used in those people with low blood pressure or who are on blood pressure medications. Never exceed the dosage of this herb. Not to be taken at the same time you eat cheese, liver or red wine, all of which contain the amino acid tyramine.

To make an impact on your health, you will need to first learn the actions and steps to take... then you will need to be consistent with those actions. It is the consistency that brings you the results. You are going to be human and not be perfect 100% of the time. Just accept that and get back to it. Consistency, day in and out, is more important than being perfect. You can't be 100% perfect for long, but you can be consistent every day.

If you’ve undergone many consecutive fertility treatments without a successful pregnancy, it could be time for a break. Taking a break gives your body a chance to cleanse, reset and recover.

I knew what my life's calling was at a very young age. At around 16, I had a dream where a dreadlocked rasta man came to me (Burning Spears to be exact) and in that dream was told that I was to be a healer. It was the type of dream that was more real than reality. The next day I woke up feeling different than I had ever felt before. Later on that day, we had new neighbors move into the house above us and a woman came and introduced herself. When I opened the door, she said her name and told me she was opening up a school of healing and that I was to be one of her students. It was one of the most intense series of events in my life. I went on to go to her school and my path started with an amazing community and so much support. What are one of the most life changing experiences you have had? I would love to hear...

Stress can be one of the primary factors behind infertility. Believe it or not, our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenaline, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenaline inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes infertility to occur.
