Couples trying to have a baby now have access to a science-based dietary supplement formulated to optimize sperm quality, an important factor in conception. Proxeed is a nutritional supplement that enhances sperm quality, a critical element-but only one element- in the dynamic process of conception. Proxeed provides the nutrients that are necessary for sperm to mature. If assisted reproductive technologies are needed, having optimal sperm can be beneficial. However, Proxeed will not alleviate medical problems impacting the male or the female’s ability to successfully conceive. Men having difficulty conceiving should have an evaluation by a male infertility specialist to identify and correct the problem.
Proxeed’s active ingredients are L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine . L-carnitine is a carrier molecule for medium and long chain fatty acids and is essential in the transportation of these fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be utilized. L-carnitine is a component of both seminal plasma and sperm cells, and it plays a critical role in sperm maturation and potential sperm motility. Acetyl-L-carnitine is important to membrane stabilization and is the most prominent from of carnitine found in sperm. It serves as an energy source for sperm, plays an important role in sperm maturation and metabolism and provides the primary fuel for sperm motility.
Proxeed is based on over 30 years of study world-wide, including eight clinical trials and over 200 scientific papers in which Proxeed’s primary active ingredients were proven to optimize key factors of sperm quality. Proxeed is safe and effective with no known contraindications or drug interactions, and the ingredients have been prescribed to over 10 million people world-wide.
Proxeed is a citrus-flavored, powder supplement that is dissolved in juice or other beverage. In order for the necessary ingredients to be provided in the amounts shown to be effective in clinical trials, Proxeed must be in powder form. The recommended dosage is two packets per day. It takes about 74 days for sperm to mature and an additional 20-30 days for mature sperm to be capable of fertilization. Therefore, optimal results should be seen after six months, or two sperm production cycles. Initial results should be seen after three months of Proxeed supplementation.
Proxeed is produced by Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who is dedicated to the development of science-based non-prescription products that assist the body in promoting good health or help the body help itself in times of distress.

Nutrition & Diet

High technology has allowed for the creation of families in situations where only several years ago it would have been impossible. That of course does not mean that every couple having fertility problems needs to resort to drastic measures to have a child. There are many factors that contribute to infertility and one very important, yet often overlooked area is diet and nutrition. Several recent studies confirmed what has long been suspected; dietary and nutritional imbalances can lead to fertility problems.
Sperm are continuously produced within the testicle by a highly complex and regulated process of growth and maturation. The germinal epithelium of the testicle requires the appropriate nutrients in the right proportions to support sperm production. Once the sperm mature and are released into the epididymis and reproductive tract, their cell membranes are vulnerable to free radicals and peroxidation. Seminal fluid normally contains anti-oxidants and free radical scavengers. It has been shown that the seminal fluid from men with low sperm counts has a higher level of free radicals and decreased amounts of free radical scavenger molecules compared to normal. Supplementing these chemicals has been shown to improve sperm counts.
At the Center for Male Reproductive Medicine, we not only lead the male infertility community with cutting edge technology and research, we also offer a more holistic and natural approach to infertility. We have undertaken the task of studying the connection between vitamins, nutrition and male infertility. A certified nutritionist who has an expertise in fertility issues is on staff and available for consultation. An individualized diet modification program can be created to match your lifestyle.
