In recent years, the conversation around fertility and prenatal nutrition has shifted, and rightly so. While much of the focus has traditionally been on maternal health, we now know that the health and nutritional status of men play an equally critical role not only in conception, but in long-term health outcomes for both partners and future children.
WeNatal for Him was developed to address this gap by offering a science-backed formulation that optimizes male fertility while also supporting men's health beyond conception. As a clinician, I’ve seen firsthand how addressing nutrient deficiencies and oxidative stress in men improves fertility outcomes and promotes lifelong vitality.
The fertility foundation: Sperm health and nutritional support
Sperm quality matters, and not just for conception. Research continues to show that the health of sperm influences embryo development, miscarriage risk, and even the long-term health of the child. WeNatal for Him was designed to support the four major parameters of sperm health:
-
Count
-
Motility
-
Morphology
-
DNA integrity
Each capsule delivers key nutrients such as zinc, selenium, vitamin E, CoQ10, and L-carnitine, which are clinically shown to improve sperm parameters and protect against oxidative stress, one of the leading contributors to sperm DNA fragmentation.
In practice, I’ve seen men achieve significant improvements in semen analysis within just three months of targeted supplementation, especially when paired with lifestyle and dietary changes.

Immune function: Building resilience from within
You may be surprised to learn that your immune system and reproductive health are deeply intertwined. Nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, selenium, and vitamin A not only support sperm health but are essential for immune defense.
Over 1 billion people worldwide are estimated to be deficient in vitamin D, a key regulator of immune balance and inflammation. Most over-the-counter supplements underdose vitamin D, but WeNatal for Him includes 2,000 IU—a dose supported by clinical data to help achieve and maintain optimal levels.
In my clinical experience, men with optimized vitamin D status report fewer seasonal illnesses, quicker recovery from workouts or stress, and better overall energy.
Cardiovascular health: Long-term protection starts early
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in men. But emerging research shows that consistent use of high-quality vitamins with antioxidants, especially over a span of decades, can significantly reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events.
Key nutrients for heart health include:
-
CoQ10 for mitochondrial energy and blood vessel integrity
-
B-complex vitamins (especially B6, B12, folate, and niacin) for homocysteine metabolism
-
Vitamin D and antioxidants (C and E) for anti-inflammatory effects
In men with cardiovascular risk factors, I often recommend a comprehensive multivitamin alongside personalized dosing of antioxidants.
Healthy aging: Nutrient needs change over time
As men age, their ability to absorb and utilize certain nutrients declines. Vitamin B12, magnesium, and vitamin D are among the most affected. Additionally, common medications such as statins, proton pump inhibitors, metformin, and NSAIDs further deplete critical nutrients.
In practice, I regularly see men in their 30s and 40s already experiencing the cumulative effects of nutrient loss, low energy, brain fog, poor recovery, and more. A targeted supplement like WeNatal can act as “nutritional insurance” to help offset these imbalances and support graceful aging.
Conception insurance: Because life isn’t always planned
According to the CDC, 45% of pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned. That means nearly half of conceptions happen without intentional preparation.
Whether you’re actively trying, planning for later, or unsure, maintaining a healthy baseline is essential. Experts now recommend that men of reproductive age take a high-quality men’s prenatal daily, not just for fertility but to protect against potential unplanned pregnancies and to support healthier sperm at all times.
In short: fertility is a biomarker of health. Investing in reproductive wellness today lays the foundation for healthier outcomes tomorrow.

Mental clarity and energy: Feel your best, every day
The nutrients in WeNatal for Him go beyond reproductive health. They are involved in:
-
Neurotransmitter synthesis and mood regulation
-
Mitochondrial function and energy production
-
Stress recovery and sleep quality
-
DNA repair and cellular resilience
From vitamin B6 and vitamin D to NAC and CoQ10, these nutrients fuel the systems that keep you sharp, focused, and resilient, which are qualities every man needs, regardless of where he is on the parenting path.
In real-world settings, I’ve seen men report better energy, fewer afternoon crashes, improved stress tolerance, and greater motivation for workouts and life in general.

A Note from WeNatal on the benefits of WeNatal for Him beyond conception
WeNatal for Him provides key nutrients for improving sperm count, quality, motility, morphology, and protecting against oxidative damage, all critical factors in male fertility. But it doesn’t stop there. We also designed WeNatal for Him with your long-term vitality in mind.
Here are the top reasons why you should consider taking WeNatal beyond conception:
-
Immune function: Includes vitamin D (2,000 IU), zinc, selenium, and antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E to strengthen immune resilience.
-
Cardiovascular health: Packed with CoQ10, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants to protect heart health and support circulation.
-
Healthy aging: Offsets nutrient depletion caused by age and medications, especially B12, D, magnesium, and more.
-
Conception insurance: 45% of pregnancies are unplanned. Supporting reproductive health year-round is simply smart health strategy.
-
Feeling good: Nutrients for brain health, energy metabolism, recovery, and mood help you feel your best, now and for the long haul.
