Becoming a dad can be difficult...

Once the decision for a child has been taken, the exciting time of waiting for the desired positive pregnancy test commences. Unfortunately sometimes this doesn’t happen by itself. As has been shown by a considerable number of studies, male fertility is declining all over the world. One in ten couples experience problems conceiving and in at least 30 % this can be assigned to male fertility issues.  

Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) offer support for couples who desire a child, but here, too, the quality of sperm used contributes significantly to the chances of success. 

Reasons

Diminished sperm count and quality can be caused by a variety of factors.  Pollution, environmental hormones, decreasing food quality and others have been claimed to be responsible. More and more research has focused on oxidative stress and its detrimental effects on sperm health.

Oxidative stress

The term „oxidative stress” refers to the damage inflicted on cells by aggressive reactive oxygen species. Oocytes and sperms are particularly susceptible to these attacks. Normally the body has its own powerful range of defense mechanisms – the body’s own anti-oxidants – however, they are not always available in sufficient quantities. Stress, smoking and unhealthy eating habits can cause a lack of important vital substances. Amongst others, consequences may include an impairment of semen quality: Sperm counts decline, sperms are less motile and many even have DNA damages.  

There is a lot a man can do!

However, the body constantly produces new sperms, and therefore there is always a fair chance to improve future semen quality. Healthy lifestyle choices and additional supplementation of certain vital substances can help to boost fertility. This applies to natural conception as well as to fertility treatment. Both benefit substantially from good semen quality.  

Supporting healthy sperm development

Fertilovit^® M fertility vitamins are dietetic foods for special medical purposes and are used for the management of nutrition-related male fertility issues. They contain a combination of micronutrients that promote sperm health and protect sperms from oxidative stress by supplying vitamin C with sustained release in combination with other vital anti-oxidants such as glutathione and its precursor N-acetyl-cysteine.

Simultaneously they stabilize the genito-urinary tract with anti-inflammatory lycopene and promote homocysteine metabolism with folic acid.

Fertilovit^® M^plus offers an additional support of sperm development. It contains citrulline, a building block of proteins which not only has been shown to improve sperm quality, but also promotes male erection.
