PROFERTIL® is a study-proven and patented formula to improve male fertility. It helps to optimize sperm quality in men who wish to father a child and have impaired fertility.

The study-proven formulation of PROFERTIL® is suitable for men with impaired fertility. We ask you to clarify with your doctor whether PROFERTIL® is recommended in your case. PROFERTIL® might be also an option when preparing for IVF-treatment.

The specific and study-proven composition of PROFERTIL® specifically covers the increased micronutrient requirements of men with fertility disorders.

PROFERTIL® should be taken in preparation for or during IVF treatment to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The effectiveness of the patented PROFERTIL® formulation has been confirmed in 8 clinical studies. PROFERTIL® can improve all semen parameters (e.g. sperm count, motility, normal shape). In addition, PROFERTIL® can also reduce DNA breaks in sperm. Thus, PROFERTIL® can increase the chance of successful conception.

Clinical studies have shown that PROFERTIL® can improve all sperm parameters relevant for conception. This includes sperm count, sperm motility (= motility) and sperm shape (= morphology). In addition, a reduction in the proportion of sperm cells with “fragmented” DNA was shown.

Take 2 capsules of PROFERTIL® daily with some liquid with or after a meal. Both capsules can be taken at the same time. If you have any further questions about consumption, please contact your doctor.

Since a complete sperm development (= spermatogenesis) takes about 3 months, an improvement of sperm parameters is likely within this time by taking PROFERTIL®. This was also shown in the clinical studies on PROFERTIL®. The intake of PROFERTIL® is recommended until the desired pregnancy occurs.

It is recommended to take two capsules daily with or after a meal and together with some liquid. It is also possible to take both capsules at the same time. However, the daily dose of two capsules should not be exceeded.

If you forget to take PROFERTIL®, please make up for it by the next possible time. However, do not take twice the amount of PROFERTIL® if you have forgotten to take it before. The daily dosage of two capsules should not be exceeded.

Continue to take PROFERTIL® as usual. If you stop taking PROFERTIL® for a long period of time, the effect may be reduced.

You are welcome to open the PROFERTIL® capsules and take the powder without the capsule shell, as it does not contain any active substances. In case of swallowing difficulties, we recommend taking the powder preferably with some yogurt on a spoon, as it is not water soluble.

So far, there are no known interactions when taking PROFERTIL® with other medicines. If you are taking medicines that limit fertility, it is essential to consult your doctor (e.g. antidepressants, immunosuppressants, cardiac medicines, anti-epileptics, cytostatics).

PROFERTIL® was developed specifically to support male fertility in those who wish to have children. The synergistic effect of the patented product composition is clinically proven. Therefore, it is not necessary to take additional supplements to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Studies have shown that taking PROFERTIL® can increase ejaculate volume (more sperm).

Since azoospermia often has an organic cause, PROFERTIL® is usually not a suitable solution. However, in any case it is important to consult a urologist to find out the specific reason (obstructive or non-obstructive) and consequently determine the best treatment for it.

In case of non-obstructive azoospermia, PROFERTIL® may be a supportive treatment in the context of IVF treatment (e.g. TESE). We kindly ask you to clarify this with your treating physician.

Extensive studies indicate a connection between repeated miscarriages and increased DNA fragmentation in sperm cells. These are breaks in the DNA strand of the sperm. In the case of repeated miscarriages or idiopathic infertility (= infertility for no apparent reason), clarification of DNA breaks is therefore recommended. Especially in men over 35 years of age, the risk of a significant amount of fragmented sperm DNA is increased.

Two clinical studies have shown that PROFERTIL® can reduce the proportion of sperm cells with breaks in the DNA strand.

• DNA breaks

• Miscarriage

Studies have shown that taking PROFERTIL® often reduces sperm count to a normal density. It is assumed that the micronutrients contained in PROFERTIL® can positively influence the self-regulation of sperm production.

PROFERTIL® should be stored dry, protected from light and not above room temperature (25 °C).
