Vitamin C may prove to be the trifecta of penis health, keeping you healthy, fertile, and protected. It's widely accepted that vitamin C helps to protect spermatogenesis, sperm integrity, and fertility in men.

Hyperglycemia, an indicator for diabetes, could cause sexual dysfunction in men. Diabetes may result to changes in the male reproductive system including:

• decrease in body and male organ weight

• lower fertility
• decreased testosterone levels
• decreased spermatogenesis (sperm production)
• testicular damage

Another animal study shows the same results. The researchers found that the antioxidant properties and the ability of vitamin C to increase testosterone levels may have improved stress-induced infertility in male rats.

Men over the age of 19 years of age are recommended to consume 90mg of vitamin C daily. Because our body can't store vitamin C, make sure to get your dose everyday.
