Fertility is a natural process in the body, that the body can turn off if it doesn’t feel it can safely sustain a pregnancy.

There are so many factors that can contribute to infertility, which is why conventional treatment can vary so much in effectiveness... it simply can’t address all the possible cause.

Beetroot are a fantastic source of the antioxidants resveratrol, which is thought to help combat against age-related infertility. They also supply nitrates known to improve blood flow to the sexual organs, making them useful for male fertility and for supporting a healthy uterus during embryo implantation.

Beetroot contains nitric oxide which dilates blood vessels allowing a rich supply of oxygenated, nutrients rich in blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. Beetroot contain a high level of folate which is essential when it comes to female fertility because it helps to reduce homocysteine level (an amino acid that helps blood clot).

If homocysteine level can be easily low, which can create blockages that may cut off the placenta and may cause a miscarriage, folate in beetroot is also known to help with eggs.

Beetroot and fertility in men Research has shown that poor levels of folate (vitamin B9) are linked to low sperm count and decreased sperm mobility. Beetroot contains plenty of vitamin C and E which are essential for healthy sperm.
