Can a daily supplement boost sperm movement? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05826782
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Proxeed Plus (antioxidant supplement)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement to improve sperm motility in some men with infertility.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 30 participants. Previous studies on antioxidants for male infertility have shown mixed results, so there is no guarantee of benefit.
