Folic Acid for men?

in Trying to conceive
Is it true that men should take folic acid whilst you are ttc too? I have never heard of this before. I know Mr Jules is taking a multi vit for men and drinking lots of smoothies to up his vit c but should he be taking extra folic acid too?

    it's not a necessity but there is some scientific evidence that folic acid can make for stronger swimmers in men and it certainly won't do any harm!

    My fella is taking multi vitamins and zinc. I have heard that zinc is really good for his swimmers. xxx

    Had a check and the stuff Mr Jules is taking has both zinc and folic acid in it so that's okay. Like you say it can't harm can it? xx
