Garlic is a potent antioxidant thanks to its high content of vitamins A, B and C. In addition, garlic also has a high content of minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, zinc, copper, potassium, etc.

For all these reasons, this food favors the reduction of oxidative stress in spermatozoa, thus improving sperm motility, concentration and morphology.

In addition, garlic is known to have antibiotic, anticancer and skin regenerative properties.
