First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking probiotics daily for about 100 days can improve sperm count, movement, and shape in men with infertility. Sixty men aged 20 to 45 will be randomly assigned to receive either probiotics or a placebo. Researchers will measure sperm quality at the start, at 60 days, and at the end of the study using advanced lab tests.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-invasive supplement to improve sperm quality in some men with infertility.
