Ginger and Fertility: Effects on Male and Female Fertility
Does ginger improve fertility?
Yes, for both sexes. In men: +47% sperm motility and +16% testosterone after 90 days (500 mg/day). In women: reduction of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) symptoms and regulation of the menstrual cycle. The main mechanism is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action on the gonads.
How long should you take ginger to improve fertility?
Studies show results after 60 to 90 days of regular supplementation (500-1000 mg of extract/day). This is the duration of a complete spermatogenesis cycle (74 days) in men. For women, a minimum of 2-3 menstrual cycles is needed to observe an effect on PCOS.
Ginger or maca for male fertility?
Complementary: ginger primarily acts on sperm quality and reduction of testicular oxidative stress, while maca acts on libido and energy. For a comprehensive strategy, both can be combined. INTI Drink (ginger + turmeric, zero sugar) can be the daily base.
Is INTI Drink compatible with a pregnancy project?
Yes for the pre-conception phase and the 1st trimester (ginger is documented to help with morning sickness). Zero added sugar (1.19g/100ml), zero alcohol, 100% organic. Beyond 4g/day of fresh ginger, consult a doctor. The dose in a diluted INTI shot is well below this threshold.
