The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies to tell you what supplements affect Sperm Quality.
Full details on all Sperm Quality supplements are available to Examine Plus members.
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Notable
|
High See all 5 studies |
Carnitine at 3g daily appears to increase sperm quality mostly related to sperm morphology; there are mixed effects on sperm motility
|
|
|
|
Minor
|
Very High See all 3 studies |
There appears to be an increase in seminal quality and oxidative parameters following 3-month ingestion of Mucuna pruriens, which is thought to be secondary to correcting the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes axis
|
|
|
|
Minor
|
Very High See all 4 studies |
Appears to enhance seminal quality (in a fairly general sense) but needs more studies against reference drugs to properly assess potency.
