Fertility conversations tend to focus on women, but conception takes two. Male factors play a role in roughly half of the fertility challenges couples face, yet men are rarely given anything to do. When a couple orders Bloom Blend, I often suggest they order for both of them. Here is why.
Sperm health starts months before conception
Sperm take roughly three months to develop. That means what a man eats and drinks over the coming months shapes the sperm that will be there when it matters. As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, I always tell couples the best time for both partners to start nourishing their bodies is now, ideally three months before trying or before treatment begins.
Antioxidants and sperm quality
Sperm are especially sensitive to oxidative stress, the cell damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants help protect against it, which is why antioxidant rich foods matter so much in men's fertility nutrition.
Watermelon is one of the richest food sources of lycopene, the antioxidant that gives it its colour. In a 2019 trial from the University of Sheffield, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, 60 healthy young men took lycopene daily for 12 weeks. The lycopene group had more healthy shaped sperm and about 40 percent more fast swimming sperm than the placebo group. A 2025 review of the research found that lycopene may offer modest benefits for sperm concentration, and called for larger studies. These studies used lycopene supplements rather than juice, but they show why lycopene rich foods like watermelon deserve a place in a man's diet.
Blood flow matters for men too
Healthy circulation is central to men's reproductive and sexual health. Beets are naturally rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and supports healthy blood flow. Watermelon adds citrulline, which the body uses to make arginine, another building block of nitric oxide. Together, they support the same circulation benefits for men that they do for women.
Ginger
Ginger is a warming root traditionally used to support circulation and digestion, and it is rich in antioxidants of its own. It rounds out the formula and makes Bloom Blend easy to drink every day.
How men can drink it
Ideally, drink one 8oz bottle a day alongside your partner. Bloom Blend lasts 4 days, so a couple can order two 4 packs and then two 3 packs to cover the week, delivered fresh across the GTA. Bloom Blend works best as part of a nourishing foundation, with good protein and minerals. Our Primal burgers and Primal Beef Chili, made with grass fed beef, liver and heart, are naturally rich in zinc, iron and B12, all nutrients men's reproductive health depends on. But honestly, consistency matters more than timing.
A note from me
No juice can promise an outcome. But fertility is a shared journey, and I love seeing couples take care of their bodies together. Please check with your doctor or fertility team about what is right for you, especially if you take any medication.
