Viral Fertility Foods for Men: Do Pineapple, Pomegranate, Dates Really Work?

  • Pineapple core contains bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme, but lacks clinical evidence for improving sperm parameters.
  • Pomegranate, rich in antioxidants, may improve sperm parameters and testosterone levels in small studies, but strong clinical evidence for fertility outcomes is limited.
  • Dates offer fiber, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting metabolic health, but do not independently improve semen parameters.
  • Male fertility is influenced by overall lifestyle, including hormonal balance, oxidative stress, sleep, and diet, not just single foods.
  • A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, zinc, selenium, and omega-3s (nuts, seeds, eggs, leafy greens, oily fish) consistently supports sperm health.

Why It Matters: While viral foods like pineapple, pomegranate, and dates offer general health benefits, strong clinical evidence for their direct impact on male fertility is limited; overall lifestyle and a balanced diet are key.
