Taking
Proxeed is a simple step you can take to promote fertility
Research
has shown that among all healthy couples taking longer than expected to
conceive, sperm quality is a sole contributing factor for as many as 40%
and contributory in an additional 20%. Yet there are limited options available
to improve sperm quality in men.
However,
two metabolic cofactors, L-carnitine (LC) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC),
have been shown through over 30 years of scientific research to play an
important role in the metabolism, development and function of spermatozoa.
Research with LC, ALC and sperm have been the subject of more than 200
published papers, and 11 human clinical trial reports involving almost
400 men. Proxeed is a dietary supplement containing these two ingredients
and this section of our web site will explain the posisble benefits of
using it.
Whilst
we recommend the usual list of changes for men which are known to affect
sperm quality ie healthy diet, regular exercise, stopping smoking, reducing
stress, wearing boxer shorts, avoiding hot baths etc we also now recommend
you consider taking Proxeed as a pro-active step in promoting your fertility.
Proxeed
makes sense if you are known to have poor sperm quality or as part of
the BabyStart programme we recommend for couples just starting to plan
a pregnancy.

When
conception is not as easy as expected
Research
has now clearly shown that male factors are implicated in at least 40%
of all conception problems and a combination of factors involving both
partners account for another 20% of conception problems. So it is important
to recognise that you are not alone in being concerned about your fertility.
It
is important to recognise that both the man and the woman should take
steps to improve their fertility in order to improve their chances of
conception. For men it makes sense to check your sperm count using our
FertilMarq home screening kit and also to take Proxeed. Back

Sperm
Quality: what is normal ?
Sperm
quality is judged on the basis of five factors defined by the World Health
Organisation and if one of these factors is inadequate it can affect the
chances of conception. These five factors are;
Number
of sperm cells - this refers to the quantity of sperm cells in the
sample of ejaculated semen. The normal ejaculate will contain more than
40 million sperm cells. Back
to Top
Concentration
of sperm cells - this refers to the numbers of sperm in a single millilitre
of ejaculate. A normal semen sample will contain more than 20 million
sperm cells per millilitre of ejaculate. Back
to Top
Motility
- this refers
to the sperm cells ability to swim ie they should be strong swimmers!
In a healthy semen sample more than 50% of the sperm will show excellent
motility ie be strong swimmers, and 25% of them will move strongly in
one direction. Experts believe that this is an important characteristic
of sperm because of their need to swim from the vagina, through the cervix,
into the womb and up the fallopian tubes to meet the released egg when
ovulation occurs.Back to Top
Speed - Some
sperm cells move faster than others and at least 25% of the sperm cells
should have fast and straight forward movement. Back
to Top
Morphology - This
refers to the size and shape of the sperm and a healthy sperm looks rather
like a tadpole. At least 30% of sperm cells should have normal shape and
size.Back to Top

The
active ingredients in Proxeed support sperm quality by providing metabolic
substrates for the cells making the sperm cells. Proxeed has been shown
to improve sperm quantity, concentration, motility and speed of sperm
cells.
