Is it okay for a boy sway? I read on some site that it is good for boosting sperm production--is this true?? Or is it a girl vitamin?

It's a boy vitamin! lol! I'm giving my DH 500 mg C-vit daily, it has to do something with raising testosterone, but I forgot the mechanism.
So, go for it! :agree:

Yes, as long as you don't find that it lowers his pH.

Healthy levels of all nutrients sway blue.

Oh, I haven't even tested his pH yet! I need to get on that. How long does vitamin C stay in the body? He's been taking it a few days now.

It's water soluble and leaves the body quickly, within a few days. Humans and guinea pigs need to eat Vit. C regularly because we cannot store it in our bodies. All other mammals can store it (no point there, just an interesting tidbit!!)

He eats fruits and veggies, so I am sure he is getting plenty there. I will test the pH tonight and see what it looks like!

My DH's pH is 8 and I was so stressed it was too low for producing a :xy:?
Not like he is swaying with me or anything :sigh:

Zani's DH's pH is 9, now that's something I'm aiming for lol!

Lol - and there's me throwing coca-cola and cranberry pills down his throat to try and make it lower!

It was 7.7 and I will test it in a few days to see if it changes after he has stopped the vitamin C. Zanacal, I wish my DH had your DH's pH!

Not even! I would be very happy for TTC a boy with DH pH in the high 7's-8.

If your hubs is drinking tomato juice and eating potatoes, he is getting a lot of vit c. Both are very high in vit c! Best to get vitamins from food. It absorbs better.
