Does Sea Buckthorn Increase Sperm Count? - #60300
I am really trying to figure out this whole sea buckthorn pregnancy fertility thing. I have been reading about sea buckthorn and how it’s supposed to be great for fertility and even during pregnancy, but I’m kinda confused. Like, can I eat sea buckthorn in pregnancy or should I avoid it? I mean, I want to make sure I’m doing everything right, you know? My friend was telling me that it might even help with hormonal imbalance, which I have struggled with a bit. I also heard something about sea buckthorn increasing estrogen levels and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad? My doctor mentioned something about eating the right stuff to support fertility and I have read that sea buckthorn can increase sperm count too, so I wonder if it’s something my partner should consider as well. Sometimes, I just feel overwhelmed with all this info, like am I missing out on something crucial? Should we both be taking sea buckthorn or is it just me that would benefit from it? Really hope you all can clear this up for me because I just want to make informed choices. Thanks!
