Ascorbic acid - is involved in the synthesis of steroids, regulates the exchange of folic acid in the body. Vitamin is necessary for activating the motility of spermatozoa and their resistance to damage.

Folic acid - plays an important role in the processes of sperm formation, helping them to become full and ready to fulfill their mission.
