Answer from the fertility expert:

Xanthi Maragkoudaki, Lecturer in Nutrition and Public Health at University of Westminster

Usually, we think any nutritional changes need at least like three months to show, to see their effects. However, if you want to have even a month can sometimes show a difference. Sometimes the differences we see are quicker to men than women but it’s even in the month we’ll probably see especially because DHEA also has anti-inflammatory effects, we’ll probably see those even before other types of effects.
