Herbal supplement for improving sperm health
This study tests whether a herbal supplement can improve sperm health (count, movement, and shape) in men with fertility problems. You'll need to have low sperm counts and be in general good health, and you'll be asked to follow a routine that includes avoiding ejaculation before tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man between 25 and 45 years old, with a healthy weight (BMI 20-29).
- Have been trying for a baby for at least 12 months without success.
- Have a semen analysis showing low sperm concentration (under 16 million per milliliter), poor movement (under 42%), or abnormal shape (under 4% normal).
- Have a total testosterone level of at least 300 ng/dL.
- Be willing to avoid ejaculation for 3 to 5 days before each semen test, and use contraception during the study.
