Many men are not aware that they themselves may be the cause of their involuntary childlessness. And yet statistics show how drastically sperm quality in men from industrialized countries has decreased over the last decades.
Fifty years ago the average number of sperm cells per milliliter of ejaculate was 100 million – nowadays this number has dropped to between 20 and 64 million. The age of men also plays an important role. Studies demonstrate that the ejaculate of 45-yearold men contains fewer agile and normally shaped sperm cells compared with that of 18-year-old men.
Orthomol® Fertil plus is a therapeutic approach with a complex composition which provides nutritional support for the treatment of male fertility disorders. The micronutrients contained in this dietary product have a positive effect on sperm quality and can be administered as a useful supplement to support other medical techniques for treating fertility disorders.
Orthomol® Fertil plus is a dietary food for special medical purposes. Orthomol® Fertil plus is suitable for the dietary management of male fertility disorders. The micronutrients contained in Orthomol® Fertil plus are a natural part of our diet. As a result of their nutritional features they can have a favorable effect on sperm cell quality, especially on sperm cell density and motility:
Orthomol® Femin provides the sufficient supply of macro- and micronutrients that are extremely important during the change of life to ensure good health and well-being, but also to maintain our beauty. With the right combination, we can preserve both beauty and health without having to make too many sacrifices.

Orthomol® Fertil plus is a dietary food for special medical purposes. Orthomol® Fertil plus is suitable for the dietary management of male fertility disorders. The micronutrients contained in Orthomol® Fertil plus are a natural part of our diet. As a result of their nutritional features they can have a favorable effect on sperm cell quality, especially on sperm cell density and motility:
Vitamin E: Important antioxidant vitamin (radical scavenger), protects the cell membrane against free radicals; has a favorable effect on sperm cell motility
Vitamin C: Protects the genetic information (DNA) against attacks by free radicals.
B Vitamins: Damage to the sperm DNA results in an impairment of sperm function Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are important for the degradation of the metabolite homocysteine.
Zinc: High homocysteine levels can have a negative effect on the reproductive function. Important component of antioxidant enzymes which are also present in semen; a lack of zinc is connected with a reduced testosterone production;
Selenium has a favorable effect on sperm cell motility and number as well as on the number of normally shaped sperm cells. Important component of antioxidant enzymes which are also present in semen; this enzyme activity influences the viability,
Mixed carotenoids: Antioxidants which work together with vitamin E to protect the sperm membrane against attacks by free radicals
Omega-3 fatty acid: Improve the fluidity of the sperm membrane – an essential prerequisite for successful fertilization
N-acetyl cysteine: Component of an important antioxidant enzyme
L-Carnitine: Vitamin-like substance; plays a key role in energy generation for sperm cells and in the penetration of the egg cell by the sperm; has a favorable effect on sperm motility
Coenzyme Q10: Vitamin-like substance; potent antioxidant and radical scavenger; has a favorable effect on sperm cell motility
