Researchers analyzed the frequency of DNA breaks in sperm, an important factor in male infertility, and were greatly surprised by the results. Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in order to form healthy bones. Fertility experts have examined the blood of nearly 800 men with infertility problems and found that nearly one-third of men have below normal levels of vitamin D.
Among these men, there is a significant increase in the content of homocysteine, an amino acid related to cytotoxicity, in the blood, while the important substance of new healthy cells, folic acid, is insufficient. Surprisingly, men who agreed to lifestyle changes and vitamin D supplements in the study had significantly improved their infertility problems. It is well known that vitamin D and folic acid deficiency are associated with infertility in women. "However, the results of the tests conducted on men in the study were completely unexpected."
Fertility experts have pointed out that fear of skin cancer from exposure to the sun may be the cause of men's vitamin D deficiency. "Due to our research results, some people are likely to want to know whether more people have vitamin D deficiency and what impact it has on fertility."
In short, the frequency of DNA breakage that affects sperm quality is determined by vitamin D, so patients can appropriately supplement vitamins. Of course, paying more attention to the sun at ordinary times can increase the content of vitamins, so sperm quality is no problem.
