Semen And Vitamin C 

• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a potent antioxidant found in seminal plasma (the fluid part of semen that nourishes and protects sperm).

• It protects sperm DNA from oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

• Sperm are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress due to the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their membranes and limited internal repair systems.

Key Functions of Vitamin C in Semen:

• Prevents DNA fragmentation in sperm cells.

• Maintains motility and viability of sperm.

• Protects against oxidative damage from infections, environmental toxins, and smoking.
