Mango cannot treat infertility, and we know of no study showing that it improves fertility. It does supply vitamin C, folate and fibre in a balanced diet. See a doctor if you have not conceived after a year of trying, because infertility has many causes.
People search for "mango for infertility", "mango for fertility" and similar phrases with hope, and some websites, including earlier versions of this page, promised more than any fruit can deliver. We would rather tell you plainly what is known. We are mango sellers, not doctors. This is general information and not medical advice.
What infertility is
The World Health Organization describes infertility as a disease of the male or female reproductive system, defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. WHO estimates that approximately one in every six people of reproductive age worldwide experience infertility in their lifetime.
Causes can involve either partner. In men, they include difficulty ejaculating semen and low or poorly formed sperm. In women, they include blocked fallopian tubes, uterine conditions, ovarian disorders and hormonal imbalances. Sometimes the cause cannot be identified. None of these is something a fruit can fix, which is why a medical assessment comes first.
What mango actually offers
Mango is a nutritious fruit. The table lists what 100 g of raw mango contains, from the nutrient table on Wikipedia's mango page. The values are generic for mango, not specific to Alphonso.
| Nutrient | Amount | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | about 36 mg | Roughly 40% of the Daily Value |
| Folate | about 43 micrograms | About 11% of the Daily Value |
| Vitamin A | about 54 micrograms | From carotenoids in the fruit |
| Vitamin E | about 0.9 mg | About 6% of the Daily Value |
| Potassium | about 168 mg | About 6% of the Daily Value |
| Zinc | about 0.09 mg | About 1% of the Daily Value: mango is not a zinc source |
That last row matters, because zinc is often named in fertility articles. Mango contains almost none. Foods such as pulses, nuts and seeds contribute far more, and a doctor can tell you whether your own intake or blood levels need attention.
What the evidence does and does not show
Research on diet and fertility generally looks at overall eating patterns, not single fruits. We are not aware of any study showing that eating mango raises sperm count, improves motility, changes hormone levels or increases the chance of pregnancy. Claims such as "10 benefits of mango sexually" do not rest on that kind of evidence, and we have removed them from this page.
Folate deserves a specific word. Doctors commonly advise people planning a pregnancy to take a folic acid supplement, and the small amount of folate in a piece of fruit is not a substitute. Ask your doctor what is right for you. Our page on folic acid and mango goes into the nutrient itself.
A useful habit when you read health pages, ours included: look for the source behind each claim, check whether it was tested in people rather than in a laboratory, and be wary of anything that names one food as the answer to a medical problem. If a page promises results, it is selling something.
What does affect fertility
WHO lists smoking, heavy drinking, obesity and exposure to environmental toxins among factors that can affect fertility. The NHS says that being overweight or obese reduces fertility, that being severely underweight can affect ovulation in women, and that heavy drinking can affect sperm quality. It advises seeing a GP if you have not conceived after a year of trying, and sooner for women aged 36 and over or for people who already know they may have a fertility problem.
That advice is a better starting point than any single food. If you are trying to conceive, speak to a doctor about folic acid, weight, alcohol, medicines and tests for both partners.
What about libido and sexual health?
Many visitors arrive here looking for sexual-health benefits. Sexual function depends on blood flow, hormones, sleep, stress, relationships and medical conditions, and no single fruit changes those. A diet rich in fruit and vegetables is part of general good health, and mango can be one of the fruits you eat. We found no reliable evidence that mango alone improves libido or performance. If you have a concern, a doctor is the right person to ask.
Eating mango sensibly
If you enjoy mango, eat it as a fruit in a varied diet. Whole fruit keeps its fibre, while juice removes it. If you live with diabetes or any condition that affects what you eat, ask your care team about portions, and read our page on mango and diabetes. For a wider nutritional picture, see the Alphonso nutrition guide.
A simple mango and almond smoothie
This is a pleasant drink and nothing more: it is not a fertility treatment. Blend 1 ripe Alphonso mango, peeled and cubed, 1 tablespoon of soaked, peeled almonds (5 to 6 pieces), 150 ml of full-fat milk and a pinch of cardamom until smooth. Add a few saffron strands soaked in 2 tablespoons of warm milk if you like. Drink it fresh.
Choosing the fruit
Alphonso is harvested from about February to June, and the 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Outside the season we do not sell fresh Alphonso, and Alphonso pulp tins are available all year. Our fruit comes from 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Alphonso starts from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. See the Ratnagiri Alphonso page or the mango collection.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139) for Alphonso, with details on the Brand Facts page. We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout.

People also ask
Can mango help with infertility?
No study we know of shows that mango treats infertility or improves fertility. It provides vitamin C, folate and fibre as part of a balanced diet, which is useful but limited. Infertility has medical causes in both sexes, so see a doctor if you have not conceived after a year of trying.
Does mango increase sperm count?
There is no reliable evidence that eating mango increases sperm count, motility or testosterone. Mango also contains almost no zinc, about 0.09 mg per 100 g. Sperm quality is affected by weight, alcohol, smoking and medical conditions. A doctor can arrange a semen analysis and advise on next steps.
When should I see a doctor about infertility?
The NHS advises seeing a GP if you have not conceived after a year of trying. Women aged 36 and over, and people who already know they may have a fertility problem, should go sooner. Both partners can be tested, so do not wait or rely on dietary changes alone.
Is mango good before pregnancy?
Mango is a nutritious fruit and can be part of a balanced diet when you are planning a pregnancy. It contains some folate, about 43 micrograms per 100 g, but that does not replace the folic acid supplement doctors commonly advise. Ask your doctor what you need, and about any food restrictions.
