Fertil Andro

Why is a 3-month course before planning critical?

The process of complete sperm maturation (spermatogenesis) from stem cell to mature sperm takes approximately 72-74 days (about 2.5 months) . They then spend the next 2-3 weeks maturing in the epididymis. Thus, the entire sperm renewal cycle takes about 3 months.

• By taking Fertil Andro throughout this full cycle , you provide all stages of sperm development—from cell division to tail and acrosome formation—with the optimal amount of essential “building materials” and protective substances.
• Result: The treatment affects developing sperm, not mature ones . This leads to a significant improvement in all key sperm parameters by the time of conception.

A detailed analysis of the components and their impact on spermatogenesis

Each component in the composition solves a specific problem in the complex process of sperm maturation.

1. L-Carnitine (often in the form of L-carnitine tartrate)

• Role: The main “energy” and “transporter”.
• Mechanism of action:
  • It serves as fuel for sperm mitochondria, which are located in the midsection (neck) and provide energy for tail movement. Without sufficient L-carnitine, sperm are less motile (asthenozoospermia).
  • Transports fatty acids into cells for energy production.
  • Protects cell membranes from oxidative damage.
• Effect on spermogram: Increases sperm motility (activity) and viability , improves their morphology (structure).

2. L-Arginine

• Role: Nitric oxide (NO) precursor and building block protein.
• Mechanism of action:
  • Arginine synthesizes nitric oxide , which powerfully dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow and microcirculation in the testicles . This is critical for thermoregulation and nutrition of the tissues where spermatogenesis occurs.
  • It is a substrate for the synthesis of proteins and polyamines that are part of sperm.
• Effect on spermogram: Increases ejaculate volume , can positively influence sperm concentration and motility by improving the conditions of their production.

3. Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)

• Role: A powerful antioxidant and component of the respiratory chain.
• Mechanism of action:
  • Directly involved in the production of energy (ATP) in mitochondria, working in tandem with L-carnitine.
  • Neutralizes free radicals , the main enemies of sperm, which damage their DNA and membranes, causing DNA fragmentation. High levels of oxidative stress are a common cause of male infertility.
• Effect on spermogram: Improves motility , reduces the percentage of sperm with damaged DNA (fragmentation index) , which directly increases the chances of fertilization and healthy development of the embryo.

4. Zinc (usually in a well-absorbed form, such as citrate)

• Role: The #1 mineral for male fertility.
• Mechanism of action:
  • It is a component of more than 400 enzymes involved in the synthesis of DNA and protein – fundamental processes in the division and maturation of sperm.
  • It is critically necessary for the synthesis of the main male hormone, testosterone , which regulates the entire process of spermatogenesis.
  • Participates in the formation of the protective membrane of the sperm (acrosome) and stabilizes the membranes.
  • It has antioxidant activity.
• Effect on spermogram: Increases concentration, total number of sperm, improves their morphology (structure) and motility .

5. Selenium

• Role: A key component of antioxidant protection.
• Mechanism of action:
  • It is a structural element of the most important antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase , which protects testicular cells and spermatozoa themselves from lipid peroxidation.
  • Works synergistically with vitamin E and zinc , enhancing their effects.
  • Participates in the synthesis of testosterone and the process of sperm maturation in the epididymis.
• Effect on spermogram: Improves sperm motility and reduces the number of pathological forms.

6. Folic acid (Vitamin B9)

• Role: The main regulator of DNA synthesis.
• Mechanism of action:
  • Necessary for active cell division, which is the basis of spermatogenesis.
  • Ensures the correct copying of genetic material (DNA) during sperm cell division. Folate deficiency leads to errors and increased DNA fragmentation in sperm.
  • Works closely with zinc.
• Effect on spermogram: Increases sperm concentration , improves DNA quality (reduces fragmentation index) .

7. Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

• Role: Fat-soluble “guardian” of membranes.
• Mechanism of action:
  • It integrates into the lipid layer of sperm membranes and protects them from the destructive effects of free radicals.
  • Protects polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are part of the membranes, from oxidation.
  • Improves the viability of germ cells.
• Effect on spermogram: Improves sperm motility, viability and membrane integrity , reduces oxidative stress.

8. Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)

• Role: Water-soluble antioxidant and “regenerator”.
• Mechanism of action:
  • Neutralizes free radicals in seminal plasma.
  • Restores vitamin E after it has fulfilled its antioxidant function, returning it to activity.
  • Improves the condition of blood vessels, promoting better blood supply to the testicles.
• Effect on spermogram: Prevents agglutination (sticking together) of sperm, protects their DNA, increases the overall antioxidant capacity of the ejaculate.

Bottom Line: Synergy for Conception

Fertil Andro is not a random collection of vitamins, but a balanced formula in which the components enhance each other’s effects:

• L-Carnitine and Coenzyme Q10 provide energy.
• Zinc, Selenium and Vitamins protect and ensure proper structure.
• Folic acid ensures genetic integrity.

Taking a course of treatment for 3 months before conception is an evidence-based approach aimed at:

1. Improvement of the main parameters of the spermogram (motility, morphology, concentration).
2. Reducing oxidative stress and sperm DNA fragmentation, which increases the chances of natural conception, IVF/ICSI success, and the birth of a healthy child.
3. General strengthening of male reproductive health.

This is an investment in successful conception and the health of future generations. Before treatment, a consultation with a doctor (urologist, andrologist) and a spermogram are recommended to assess the initial status and progress.
