Observe Effect of Antioxidant on Sperm DNA Fragmention Clinical Trial
Official title:
Observation Study of the Effect of Use of Natural Antioxidant Supplement on Sperm DNA Fragmentation
Observational study to see the effect of use of natural Antioxidant supplement on sperm DNA fragmentation. Subjects will take the natural antioxidant for 3 months prior to repeat testing.
Male patients will be recruited based on having a high DNA fragmentation (chromatin >16) no other severe male factor infertility (>5million/ml, count, > 10%motility and >1% morphology) and sufficient ejaculate sperm for ICSI (no surgically removed sperm or history of vasectomy reversal). Patients will be provided the natural antioxidant supplementation by the sponsor. Patients will take 1 capsule orally 3 times a day for a full 12 weeks. Sperm DNA structure will be re-assessed after completion of 12 weeks of antioxidant to compare to baseline sperm DNA structure collected prior to starting regimen of supplement daily ;
