Calcium

You probably already know that calcium is a mineral that your bodies require for normal bone function. But did you know it also affects the hormonal balance, muscle function, and nerve and heart function?

A 2013 study indicated that women who consumed more dairy products, which are rich in calcium and vitamin D fortification, had higher serum vitamin D levels and were less likely to develop endometriosis and ovulatory problems. This could imply that calcium has a significant role in fertility. In terms of male fertility, there is a comparable relationship between calcium and vitamin D levels. There is some evidence to suggest that a calcium deficit may have an impact on male fertility, specifically sperm motility.
