Does sperm have nutritional value?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I heard others discussing about sperm, and I was quite curious too. I wanted to know if sperm is nutritious?

Doctor's answer:

It has little nutritional value. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal fluid, with sperm accounting for about 5 percent, and the rest being seminal fluid. Besides water, fructose, protein, and fat, it also contains various enzymes and inorganic salts. Sperm is produced by the testes as a reproductive cell, with the cell membrane removed, leaving only the nucleus containing genetic material. All of these are produced within the human body. Therefore, semen has little nutritional value.
