Assisted
fertilization is used for cases of severe male factor infertility
associated with very low sperm counts, or sperm counts with
very low proportions of moving sperm cells. Sperm cells may
be placed directly into the egg itself by a process known
as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Prior to the success
of ICSI sperm cells were placed just inside the protective
shell surrounding the egg to facilitate fertilization know
as sub-zonal insertion (SUZI). |

It should not be assumed that these complicated procedures
are the only chance for infertile couples to conceive. Instead,
through understanding both male and female infertility and
sub-fertility, alternate and potentially simpler methods should
be considered.
Nutrition
and environmental factors play a major role in a man’s
overall health, just as they play a major role in the health
of his sperm. Lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking,
increasing exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet all promote
these improvements. Nutritional factors are especially useful
to improve sperm health. |

| Several
research studies have shown an improvement in sperm parameters
as a result of taking specialized nutrients or nutritional supplements.
An increased number of healthy sperms may increase a man’s
potential to fertilize his partner’s egg. Treatment of
the male with the right supplements may even be useful in cases
in which the fertility problems are due to functional issues
in the wife as endometriosis, immune or cervical factors. These
nutritional supplements may help to repair and improve sperm
quality. Proceptin®
is a proprietary formulation of optimal nutritional supplements
designed to support sperm function. |
