How to boost your man’s fertility, because it takes two to tango!

As a male practitioner in a natural fertility clinic, I am enthusiastic about advising and helping couples fall pregnant.

So delightfully good for your health, it was demanded by people during times of war, during the SARS outbreak and even taken into space. It’s not only full of probiotic goodness, but also a great source of Vitamin C, carotene, Vitamin A, B vitamins, calcium, iron and fibre depending on the ingredients used when you make it.
