First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking alpha-lipoic acid plus CoenzymeQ10 for 3 months improves sperm movement better than CoenzymeQ10 alone in 40 men with unexplained low sperm motility. Participants took either the combination or just CoenzymeQ10 daily. The main goal was to see if the combination increases the percentage of moving sperm. Results may help men with fertility issues.
