Marine Bio-products can Boost Fertility and Libido

The bioactive compounds from marine organisms play a supportive role in addressing human reproductive concerns.

Zinc-filled oysters are mostly linked to an improved libido and sexual activity, and now scientists are calling for more serious investigations into how marine organism compounds can help human fertility.

Does Eating Oysters Boost Fertility?

Infertility - Causes - Diagnosis - Treatment - FAQs
Infertility is a condition wherein couples fail to achieve pregnancy or if the woman has been unable to carry a pregnancy that results in a live birth.

‘The bioactive compound production from marine bioactive is shown to improve infertility, hormonal imbalance, sexual dysfunction, or impotence.’

The potential benefits to the human reproductive health of oyster serum and extracts from seahorse-derived hydrolysates, saponins, steroids, oligopeptides, and essential trace elements from other animals including sea cucumber and spoon worms are not completely known.

In a new article published in Frontiers in Marine Science, researchers from Flinders University’s Centre for Marine Bioproducts Development expanded their commentary on the potential of bioactive compounds from marine organisms in addressing human reproductive concerns.

Reproductive and sexual health problems trouble a large proportion of the world population. There is increasing attention toward human reproductive health issues including infertility and sexual dysfunction.

Lifestyle Factors that Improve Fertility
Couples facing difficulty in getting pregnant could benefit from lifestyle changes. Serious medical factors might be beyond control, but lifestyle factors are choices, affecting fertility.

Making Way For New Fertility Treatment

Compared to the discovery of bioactive marine compounds for helping people with high-value functional foods, few marine organisms have been studied or put to the test in clinical trials for their potential as treatments for human reproductive health.

Health Benefits of Astragalus - An Ancient Root
Astragalus, a traditional Chinese herb has a number of health benefits, side effects and drug interactions. Read on to know how this herb can affect your body and overall health.

While a few species and potent bioactive extracts or compounds have been identified in in-vivo animal studies, there are limited human clinical trials on their efficacy and safety.

In the future, researchers recommend focusing on filling these research gaps and on finding breeding and culturing technology to establish cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable bioactive compound production for marine bioactive shown to improve infertility, hormonal imbalance, sexual dysfunction, or impotence.
