The base of seminal fluid is primarily fructose (sugar) and proteins, with many other trace minerals and substances. Here’s a listing of some of the main ingredients:
Sugars:
1. Fructose - very sweet sugar, that occur in many fruits and honey and used as a preservative for foodstuffs and as an intravenous nutrient.
2. Sorbitol- found in various berries and fruits or prepared synthetically and used as a flavoring agent, a sugar substitute for people with diabetes, and a moisturizer in cosmetics and other products.
3. Inositol - preventing the collection of fats in the liver, as well as promoting healthy hair growth. It is also can be considered brain food, as the nutrient is necessary to properly nourish the brain.
Proteins and amino acids:
1. Glutathione - involved in detoxification—it binds to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. Glutathione is also an important antioxidant. In preliminary research, dietary glutathione intake from fruit and raw vegetables has been associated with protection against some forms of cancer.
2. Creatine - supplies energy for muscle contraction. Athletes need creatine supplements to make their muscles strong.
Minerals:
1. Phosphorus – helps the body absorb calcium to make the bones stronger.
2. Zinc
3. Magnesium – helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis
4. Calcium – makes the bones strong
5. Potassium – is essential for the normal growth of the body and for the replacement of worn-out tissues which depend upon the presence of this mineral.
Vitamins:
1.Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) - can help a person look younger and more beautiful. It encourages growth of the protein chains in collagen, which is the main ingredient in all fibrous tissue. Fibrous tissue is your bone matrix, cartilage, tooth dentin (right under the enamel), skin, tendons, ligaments, and all other connective tissue. Collagen is what keeps your cells bound together.
2. Vitamin B12 – Boosts energy.
3. Choline – Sharpens the mind.
What does it actually taste like?
It’s hard to describe exactly what semen tastes like and it varies somewhat from guy to guy. It’s been describes as everything from salty to sweet to acrid to sublime. In general it has been said to taste similar to other body fluids you may encounter. We hate to say it, but if you really want to know, you’re going to have to give it a taste for yourself. And, as we said, the taste of yours may differ somewhat from the taste of someone else.
Can you do anything to impact/change the taste?
To improve the taste of the semen, people recommend eating pineapple or drinking pineapple juice to make it sweeter. Citrus fruits and cranberry juice are also recommended, possibly because they make the body’s pH more acidic, counteracting the alkalinity of semen that contributes to its “bleachy” quality. Any fruit or fruit juice high in sugar content, like apple, melon, mango, or grape, may increase the amount of sugars put out in your semen. Parsley, wheatgrass, and celery have been recommended for sweeter semen as well, perhaps because of the chlorophyll in them.
Drinking a lot of water is probably the best thing one can do to improve the texture of semen; being dehydrated can make the spunk thicken or get stringy.
What should you avoid that might make it taste worse? Meat, alcohol, garlic, onions, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli are all said to negatively impact the taste. Smoking also is a no-no.
