Summary
This pilot study tests whether a daily dietary supplement containing EGCG, folic acid, vitamin B12, and hyaluronic acid can help men clear an active HPV infection and improve sperm health. The study involves 34 couples trying to conceive, where the male partner has HPV and the female partner does not. Half of the men will take the supplement for six months, while the other half receive no supplement. Researchers will check if more men in the supplement group test negative for HPV at the end of the study.
