1 Kit ( SKU: 9800, NPN: 80089852 )
Benefits
- Provides broad nutritional foundation, with clinically effective doses of the most bioavailable nutrient forms, including pyridoxal 5-phosphate, vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7), gamma-tocopherol, and vitamin D3
- Contains limiting factors for glutathione synthesis, critical to detoxification of environmental pollutants which impair sperm and testosterone function
- Additional nutritional support for reproduction function and healthy sperm formation and integrity
- Provides broad spectrum antioxidants to reduce oxidative damage to sperm, including bilberry and citrus extracts, lipoic acid, lycopene, and lutein
Feature Summary
Nutra-Ception, a comprehensive multivitamin/mineral foundation, provides a broad spectrum of nutrients optimal for male reproductive health, combined with advanced protection from environmental toxicity and support for mitochondrial function, the keys to healthy sperm formation.1 Persistent pollutants have emerged as a culprit behind both the metabolic syndrome and obesity, but also the growing prevalence of infertility.2,3,4,5 Anti-androgens and endocrine disruptors have become widespread, adversely influencing semen health and testosterone activity, and impairing (mitochondrial) energy production.6,7 Nutra-Ception supports detoxification of these toxins by enhancing glutathione synthesis; N-acetyl cysteine, the precursor to glutathione, improves the volume, motility, and viscosity of sperm among men with infertility. Other key antioxidants, such as CoQ10 and lipoic acid improve male subfertility by reducing oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial function.8,9,10
Zinc plays a key role in spermiogenesis (sperm formation), and low levels increase the susceptibility to damage to sperm DNA and cell membranes.11 Lower zinc levels have been documented among infertile men, and when supplemented, zinc has been shown to increase sperm counts in both fertile and subfertile men.12,13 A review of randomized trials of acetyl-l-carnitine, critical to sperm health, found over a 4-fold increase in pregnancy rates among infertile couples.14
