Hello there Omega-3 fatty acid and thank you for your contribution. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an Omega-3 fatty acid, is an essential building block for sperm. Omega-3 fatty acid is essential to create the arch that turns an immature sperm cell into a full-fledged pointy-header swimmer with an extra long tail, according to a 2012 study at the University of Illinois. Normal sperm cells have an arc-like structure called acrosome and without DHA that structure doesn’t form which makes the sperm cell useless.



If that’s not enough, salmon is also an excellent source of protein (hello, muscles), potassium and vitamin B.
