The experience of using the UltraFertile Plus micronutrient complex for correction of idiopathic forms of secretory infertility in men

Abstract

The study objective is to evaluate the effect of the UltraFertile Plus micronutrient complex on parameters of the ejaculate in men with idiopathic infertility.Materials and methods. The study included 45 men aged between 24 and 48 years (median 31 years) suffering infertility in marriage. All patients took 2 capsules of UltraFertile Plus once a day in the morning at breakfast for 3 months. The patients didn’t receive any other therapy during the study. Hormonal status, spermogram parameters, MAR test, number of sperm with fragmented DNA using flow cytofluorometry with monoclonal antibodies were analyzed prior to treatment and after it.Results. After a course of UltraFertile Plus therapy, significant improvement of spermogram parameters was observed in the majority of patients. Sperm count increased from 43.5 to 62.0 million/ml (p < 0.001), percent of progressive motile sperm (categories А and В) increased from 29.3 to 44.4 % (p <0.001), normal morphology sperm count increased from 3.0 to 4.0 % (p <0.001). Administration of UltraFertile Plus promoted a decrease in the number of sperm with fragmented DNA from 14.7 to 10.1 % (p = 0.001) and was effective for patients with this parameter below 22 %. No significant effect of UltraFertile Plus was observed in MAR test. Plasma total and free testosterone levels significantly increased as a result of administration of UltraFertile Plus.Conclusion. Administration of the UltraFertile Plus micronutrient complex promotes a decrease in sperm DNA fragmentation, an increase in sperm count, percentage of progressive motile sperm and normal morphology sperm, testosterone level.The authors declare no conflict of interest.All patients gave written informed consent to participate in the study.
