Beli At-Home Fertility Test for Men

The Beli At Home Men's Fertility Test is a simple, convenient, and private way to measure key hormones (Testosterone, Total Testosterone, FSH, and LH) from the comfort of your home.

3. Why Hormone Testing Over Sperm Analysis?

While sperm analysis provides direct information about sperm count, motility, and morphology, hormone testing offers a broader perspective on the underlying factors influencing sperm health. Here's why hormone testing is an essential part of a sperm analysis:

Underlying Causes of Sperm Abnormalities: Hormone testing can identify hormonal imbalances that contribute to abnormal sperm parameters. For instance, low testosterone or imbalances in FSH and LH can lead to poor sperm production or quality, which might not be evident from a sperm analysis alone.
Comprehensive Health Assessment: Hormone levels provide insights into overall reproductive health and can indicate broader health issues that might affect fertility. For example, low testosterone levels can be associated with lifestyle factors, metabolic disorders, or other health conditions that also impact fertility.
Actionable Insights for Treatment: By understanding hormone levels, healthcare providers can develop targeted treatment plans. For instance, if low FSH is detected, treatments can focus on stimulating FSH production to improve sperm health. Hormone therapies can be tailored to address specific imbalances, improving the chances of successful conception.

Prenatal Collagen Protein Boost:

1. Why should I take collagen protein over regular protein powder?

While protein powder can be a valuable source of nutrients, collagen offers unique benefits of being a good source of protein plus amino acids that support the specific needs of a growing pregnancy body. Collagen is a key component of connective tissues, providing essential structural support to joints, ligaments, and skin, which are particularly taxed during pregnancy. Additionally, collagen can help improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and support healthy hair and nails, making it a comprehensive and valuable addition to any pregnancy nutrition plan.

2. What are amino acids and why is it important to get them?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for numerous functions in the body. There are 20 different amino acids, and they play a crucial role in various bodily processes, including the growth and repair of tissues, hormone production, immune function, and enzyme synthesis. Collagen is a protein that is rich in specific amino acids, such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These amino acids are essential for the production and maintenance of healthy connective tissues, including skin, joints, ligaments, and bones. By taking collagen, you provide your body with a concentrated source of these amino acids, which can support the health and integrity of these tissues, promoting overall well-being and aiding in the healthy growth of your baby during pregnancy.

3. Is this a complete protein?

Collagen is an incomplete protein, it is not a natural source of the essential amino acid tryptophan.

4. How does collagen help with baby’s growth?

Collagen plays a role in supporting your baby's growth and development in several ways. Collagen is a vital component of connective tissues, which form the structural framework for the body. It provides support to developing bones, joints, and cartilage, aiding in their formation and strength. Collagen also contributes to the development of healthy skin, which is crucial for protecting the baby and promoting overall well-being. By ensuring an adequate intake of collagen, you provide essential building blocks for your baby's growth, helping to create a strong and healthy foundation for their development.

5. Will collagen help with nausea?

Collagen is rich in essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Adequate protein intake is important for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and promoting a sense of satiety, which may help manage nausea symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations and guidance regarding morning sickness and appropriate dietary adjustments.

6. Can I take this if I’m not pregnant yet?

Yes! It is generally safe to take collagen even if you are not currently pregnant. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that offers various health benefits, such as supporting joint health, promoting skin elasticity, and aiding in tissue repair. Taking collagen before pregnancy can help ensure that your body has adequate levels of this essential protein, which can provide a solid foundation for fertility and a healthy pregnancy when the time comes. We recommend you consult with your medical provider if you have specific concerns about your fertility.

7. Is collagen safe for pregnancy?

Collagen is generally considered safe for pregnancy - it is a naturally occurring protein found in our bodies and in various food sources. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new dietary supplements during pregnancy.

8. How much protein is in collagen and how much should I take when pregnant?

The recommended dosage of collagen for pregnancy can vary depending on individual needs and health considerations.We recommend 1-2 scoops daily. Each scoop contains 10g of collagen which yields 9g of protein. You can mix collagen in anything hot or cold - it is flavorless. It is best to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances. They will consider factors such as your overall diet, any existing health conditions, and your individual nutritional requirements. They can help determine an appropriate dosage of collagen or recommend other dietary sources to support your pregnancy and ensure you and your baby receive the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and development.

9. Is collagen safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes! Our collagen is bovine-derived (not marine) and free from harmful chemicals, herbs, and additives that are often present in other collagen and protein powders on the market. Plus, collagen does the “heavy lifting” in supporting everything from your immune system to your skin’s elasticity as you’re growing and caring for your new, little one.

10. Can men take it?

Absolutely! For men, it is a clean source of protein plus amino acid so you are assured you aren’t getting added fillers or ingredients that might interfere with fertility, testosterone, and sperm health. Here is a blog on the perils of men taking sports supplements for workouts and how some ingredients may harm men’s fertility and sperm health.
