Human fertility enhancement with cortisol reduction food

Abstract

A method of using a fertility enhancement food to improve human fertility. This fertility enhancement food consists of transfer factor, lactic acid generating bacteria, and/or glucans in appropriate combinations. The fertility food, administered correctly, reduces cortisol levels. High cortisol interferes with conception and stable pregnancies. Dosage amounts are adjusted for client weight. Consumption frequency may be adjusted in response to cortisol measurements. Typically, consumption of the fertility food begins seven or more days before planned conception.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for improving fertility of a subject comprising:
 feeding a fertility enhancement food to a subject prior to conception, the fertility enhancement food comprising an effective amount of transfer factor, glucans, and lactic acid generating bacteria, wherein the transfer factor comprises polypeptides with a molecular weight below 10,000 Daltons, wherein the effective amount is a dosage of the fertility enhancement food based on the subject's body weight.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the subject is a mammal. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the subject is avian. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the subject is a female. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the quality or quantity of eggs of the female is increased as a result of the feeding. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the subject is a male. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein sperm quantity of the male is increased as a result of the feeding. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein sperm count of the male is increased as a result of the feeding. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the mammal is a human. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the glucans are derived from mushrooms, hybrid mushrooms, or yeast. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transfer factor is derived from lymphocytes, leukocytes, ova, colostrum, or blood. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transfer factor is derived from a pool of animals to provide a generalized adoptive transfer of immunity. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the number of offspring born alive is increased compared to subjects who did not receive the fertility enhancement food prior to conception. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the endocrine function in the subject is improved. 
     
     
         15 . A method for improving fertility of a male mammal by increasing the male mammal's sperm count comprising:
 feeding a fertility enhancement food to the male mammal prior to conception, the fertility enhancement food comprising an effective amount of transfer factor, glucans, and lactic acid generating bacteria, wherein the transfer factor comprises polypeptides with a molecular weight below 10,000 Daltons, wherein the effective amount is a dosage of the fertility enhancement food based on the male mammal's body weight, and wherein the male mammal's sperm count is increased.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the male mammal is a human. 
     
     
         17 . A method for improving fertility of a female mammal by increasing the quality or quantity of the female mammal's eggs comprising:
 feeding a fertility enhancement food to the female mammal prior to conception, the fertility enhancement food comprising an effective amount of transfer factor, glucans, and lactic acid generating bacteria, wherein the transfer factor comprises polypeptides with a molecular weight below 10,000 Daltons, wherein the effective amount is a dosage of the fertility enhancement food based on the female mammal's body weight, and wherein the female mammal's egg quality or quantity is increased relative to a control female mammal not fed the fertility enhancement food.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the female mammal is a human. 
     
     
         19 . A method for improving fertility of a mammal comprising:
 feeding a fertility enhancement food to the mammal prior to conception, the fertility enhancement food comprising an effective amount of transfer factor, wherein the transfer factor comprises polypeptides with a molecular weight below 10,000 Daltons, wherein the effective amount is a dosage of the fertility enhancement food based on the mammal's body weight.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the fertility enhancement food further comprises glucans.
