Vitamin A, like other vitamins, has benefits for male and female fertility. One of the effects is that vitamin A helps in the formation of steroids. This is an organic compound that forms the basis of sex hormones.

In the case of the male, vitamin A also helps to prevent oxidative stress of the sperm. This vitamin has an antioxidant effect, thus protecting the sperm and improving semen quality.
