A Three Month Course of Power Prenatal Supplements to Improve Sperm Quality in Male-factor Infertility Patients
Male factor infertility is a leading cause of primary and secondary infertility. Poor sperm quality is defined as having an abnormal semen analysis \[WHO 2020 - https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240030787\]. The effects of supplements (vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants) on improving sperm quality are still debated (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30462179). Taking additional supplements to improve sperm quality represent a modifiable risk-factor that would be an easy intervention for patients struggling with male factor infertility. The life cycle of sperm production is estimated at 3 months, so any intervention would require a 3 month course to see its full effect. The investigators hypothesize that a 90 day course of the Power Prenatal for Sperm, a male fertility supplement by Bird\&Be (https://birdandbe.com/the-power-prenatal-for-sperm) will improve sperm quality based on semen analysis results prior to, and after taking the supplements.
