Safety Profile
Male factors contribute to about half of infertility. Oxidative stress harms sperm, and antioxidants such as CoQ10, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and L-carnitine improved semen measures in many small trials. However, a large 2020 randomized trial (MOXI) found no improvement in semen quality or live births with an antioxidant blend, so expectations should be modest. Heat, smoking, cannabis and obesity all lower sperm quality and are worth fixing. Varicocele is found in many infertile men and repair can help. Testosterone therapy suppresses sperm production and recovery can take a year or more. Retest semen after 3 to 4 months.
