First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an antioxidant supplement called Proxeed Plus could improve sperm motility in men with asthenozoospermia (low sperm movement), a common cause of male infertility. Thirty men took either the supplement or a placebo daily for three months. Researchers measured changes in sperm motility and oxidative stress levels.
