A lot of men have asked me how they increase their loads, what increases sperm volume?
They often report that they run dry or merely a trickle when they come.
It’s no secret that when men get older, their volume tends to decline as their health declines.
But we’re going to look at ways to reverse this trend, we want to know how to increase semen volume.
In this study, researchers compared the semen output of a group of older guys to a group of younger guys.
The older group included men up to their late 70s.
It was no surprise, but:
Older men had lower semen volume.
But it may be surprising that the older guys had almost 50% less semen volume than the healthy young guys did.
[cmamad id=”7281″ align=”center” tabid=”display-desktop” mobid=”display-desktop” stg=””]
The average volume ranges from about one dropper full of semen per ejaculation to three droppers full.
That’s just an average.
And other than the lower volume, the men were all pretty much the same.
The older guys were still fertile, and the young guys were healthy and fertile.
This study shows how age has its effect.
But researchers wanted to look at something more specific.
What if men are suffering from low zinc levels?
In their research, they found that a little zinc increases volume!
In this study, researchers gave men very special diets to measure the effects of zinc on semen output and quality.
These were all young men who stayed in a ward so that the researchers could control everything they ate.
The finding that is not too shocking is that:
volunteers consuming low zinc decreased semen volumes (3.30 vs 2.24 mL) and serum testosterone concentrations.
So, their volume was down about one-third when they had a low zinc.
And their testosterone also fell — it was about 20% lower after a diet with low zinc.
The entire experiment ran only 28 days, which isn’t very long.
So it gives you an idea of how quickly low zinc will cost you in low testosterone and low semen volumes.
You may be considering zinc supplements after reading this, but be careful with zinc.
Supplementing with zinc is easily overdone and can become dangerous.
It will lower your copper levels and can lead to long-term copper deficiency and way too much iron.
Zinc supplements increase sperm volume, but many have too much cadmium in them.
The heavy metal cadmium builds up in the liver, testicles and the brain — causing damage everywhere it goes.
I would suggest 10 mg of zinc per day would be a good maximum number.
Then you can see if your volume increases over a few months.

1. How are zinc and sperm value related?
The sperm value in a healthy man's body is important since it contains the male DNA which should be able to move and propel enough to penetrate the female egg. A lower sperm count can reduce the ability of the sperm to swim well or penetrate the female egg, which is usually found among individuals who are suffering from impaired fertility. According to medical literature, zinc plays a very important role in the sperm health and its adequate value.
Zinc is a very important mineral and is important to most of the biological systems of the human body. Zinc plays an important role in the cellular functions which include signal transcription, replication, and transduction in the cells. Considered very important for reproduction, zinc is essential for conception and implantation and plays a favourable role in pregnancy. Infertility issues are caused when there is the absence of the healthy zinc levels in the body, its role in the development of the sperm is paramount. In addition to that zinc helps in the sperm mobility, which is also called sperm motility in medical literature. Since zinc plays an important antioxidant role, the deficiency of it can lead to oxidative damage and this can promote the lower quality of sperm production.
Zinc is found naturally in animal-based foods and natural foods too. Oysters are considered a very rich source of zinc and a close second are red meat and poultry. Certain kind of seafood like crabs and lobsters also contain a high degree of zinc. The other sources of zinc are whole grains, beans and nuts, and most dairy products. The role of zinc in the human body is because it improves the level of testosterone levels which also improves the potency and frequency of sexual intercourse. Zinc is also a key mineral which improves the immune function and improves DNA and protein production. The recommended daily amount of zinc is 11 mg for adult men.
2. What is zinc testosterone?
Testosterone is considered a very important hormone when it comes to a man’s health and it plays an important role in the sexual libido as well as muscle strength, maintenance of adequate red blood cells in the body and the bone development. The natural level of testosterone usually builds the highest during the early years of adulthood and lowers as the man ages further. Zinc plays a very important role in the production of testosterone and is usually considered a wonder molecule when it comes to the creation of sperm and the maintenance of sperm motility in a healthy male. Zinc is thus considered an essential dietary mineral and a lowering of the zinc levels in the body can lead to the lowering of the testosterone levels. Zinc is also very important in the maintenance of adequate cellular metabolism and aids in wound healing, cell division and protein synthesis.
The lower levels of testosterone can cause different physical conditions in the body such as lowered sex drive, sexual conditions like erectile dysfunction, reduction in the muscle mass and difficulties in concentration. The daily amount of zinc that is needed for a healthy adult is around 11 mg and it is a good idea to increase the intake of foods that are naturally rich in zinc to supplement the body needs. Foods that are rich in zinc include pork, beef, oysters, chicken and dairy foods( yogurt, cheddar, and cheese). Other foods include beans, nuts (cashew nuts, almonds, pecans, and walnuts ), oatmeal and dietary supplements rich in zinc. Since zinc is considered a powerful aromatase inhibitor it helps in blocking the natural conversion of testosterone into estrogens which is usually found in people as they age.
3. What effects semen volume?
Semen volume in an average healthy male is very important when it comes to reproduction and evolution. It has been found that average amount of semen that a healthy male ejaculates is between 1.25 and 5.00 ml ( ¼ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon), though this may vary from man to man.
There are many factors which can affect semen volume. One is the frequency of sex. If an individual is prone to ejaculating frequently, the volume of semen that he produces may lower down. Some people who masturbate and ejaculate daily or more will naturally have a low semen volume. The vitamin deficiencies in the diet can also contribute to a low semen volume. Low levels of selenium and zinc in the diet can affect semen volume. Some of the naturally existing foods that boost semen volume are nuts, seeds, and beans ( which consists of selenium ) and beef, poultry, and lentils ( which is rich in zinc ). It has also been found that extreme obesity can affect semen volume too. A body mass index of 30.0 or above can effect semen volume. The secretion of the male hormone testosterone plays an important role in the production of semen. Thus if there is a problem with testosterone secretion, semen volume will also get affected. The signs of low testosterone are symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and trouble with concentration. Some health problems like diabetes can damage the nerve cells and blood vessels that can cause hindrance in the production of semen and its volume when ejaculating.
Other factors that can affect semen volume is heredity and age. After the age of 35, the semen volume does decrease naturally and that is the reason why semen boosting supplements and making necessary changes to the diet is a good idea to boost semen production. Some less known factors that can also affect semen volume in today's modern polluted world is environmental factors such as toxic pollutants, alcoholism, and too much smoking. Also, exposure to unsafe sex can cause sexually transmitted diseases that can affect semen volume. Stress can be an important factor that can affect the body processes and can affect the production of semen and other reproductive processes.
4. What is ‘zinc testosterone’?
Testosterone is a very important hormone for a man’s health. Not only does it govern the sexual potency and reproductive aspects of a male, but it also governs the muscle and bone strength in a man. It is very important for the others aspect of a man's health that includes fat distribution, muscle mass, fertility, libido, voice deepening and hair growth. Testosterone naturally peaks during the early adult years and with age has been found to dwindle in secretion. Zinc also plays an important role in other body functions such as wound healing and cell metabolism and immune system strengthening.
Zinc is considered an essential dietary mineral that plays an important role in the production of testosterone. Zinc is also important when it comes to the health of the immune system and aids the enzymes to break down food. Since the body does not produce zinc naturally, the best way of supplementation is through zinc rich food such as oysters, beef, pork, dairy products, poultry, and beans. Plant-based foods that are high in zinc include nuts like cashews, almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. Vegetables like garlic, spinach and legumes, chickpeas and lima beans are also proficient in zinc. Some of the symptoms of zinc deficiencies may include impotence, diarrhea, weight loss, hair loss, mental fogginess and delayed wound healing. In these cases, zinc supplementation can help reverse these symptoms and lead to better health results. Supplementing at least 3 mg/ day of zinc can enhance sexual health and sex drive too. It also improves endurance levels, improves the muscle strength and improves the cardiorespiratory functions of th
e body. Zinc has also been found to lower the extremity of prostate cancer and also lower the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) which basically neutralizes testosterone.
