An omega-3 fatty acid necessary for normal human development and proper sperm function. Sperm concentration and motility were positively correlated with omega-3 PUFA α-linolenic acid (ALA) short chain uptake. This is because the small molecular weight ALA chain can penetrate the blood-testicular barrier.

A well known adaptogen that helps balance the body’s response to stress by reducing cortisol levels. It improves the quality of testosterone and sperm. A study of Ashwagandha root extract (Withania somnifera) in men with oligospermia showed a 167% increase in sperm count, 53% increase in sperm volume, 57% increase in sperm motility and 17% increase in serum testosterone levels 90 days following start of treatment. Clinical studies show that Ashwagandha reduces stress levels after 30 days of administration and even more after 60 days of administration.

An adaptogen with invigorating, strengthening and aphrodisiac properties. Clinical studies in infertile men have shown that sperm count and motility are significantly restored after administration of Mucuna pruriens for 3 months. Mucuna pruriens is additionally used to restore sexual desire by increasing testosterone and dopamine levels.

A carotenoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. It reduces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in sperm and improves sperm motility and morphology, leading to higher pregnancy rates than placebo (54.5% vs. 3.6%).

An established hepatoprotective agent in cases of cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, alcohol consumption and exposure to environmental toxins, through antioxidant activity, exclusion of toxins at the membrane level, increased protein synthesis, exerting anti-inflammatory action and potentially immunosuppressive, immunoregulatory effects, thereby influencing male fertility in a positive mode.

Administration of acetyl-L-carnitine to patients with weak sperm improves concentration, number, motility and morphology of sperm. It has a superior effect in increasing sperm motility compared to L-carnitine.
