If you’re looking for ways to boost your sperm count, you may have heard that red light is the way to go. But what does the research say?

Several studies have indicated that low doses of red light cause an increase in sperm motility and overall fertilizing potential in several species. By increasing sperm swimming speed in vitro, the likelihood of contact with the oocyte is increased.

It’s important to note that this isn’t a cure-all—it’s not like you can just put on a pair of flourescent red pants and expect your sperm count to skyrocket overnight. It does appear, however, that red light therapy may be an effective treatment option for men who are experiencing difficulty conceiving due to low or suboptimal sperm counts.
