In a new pharmaceutical combination, the herb, Vitex agnus-castus (chasteberry), enhances hormone balance by increasing progesterone release and, therefore, ovulation frequency. The antioxidants, green tea, vitamin E, and selenium, improve overall reproductive health. L-arginine, an amino acid, stimulates the reproductive organs by improving circulation. Folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc and magnesium help promote womens' fertility. Sperms are highly susceptible to free radical or oxidative damage from environmental toxicants and natural aging. Vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 and selenium are all potent antioxidants that help improve sperm counts and quality. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant found in Dong quai, also improves sperm quality. Zinc and B vitamins (B6, B12 and folate) are critical nutrients in male reproductive systems for hormone metabolism, sperm formation and motility. The amino acid, L-carnitine, promotes formation of healthy sperm.

Test kits for assessing male fertility include a sample holder defining an object plane, a lens, and a two dimensional light sensor defining an image plane arranged along a common linear axis. The distance between the object plane and the image plane may be no more than 50 mm, and may be no more than 30 mm. A lens aperture may have an area of 1-10 mm2. The test kit may have a housing with a maximum linear dimension of no more than 100 mm. Processing circuitry may be provided that is configured to produce a sperm count and / or sperm motility measurements by processing image data from the two-dimensional light sensor.

Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing male infertility relating to inadequate production of phosphatidic acid and are complementary to the routine tests, assessing sperm count, motility, viability, head morphology, and white blood cell count. Additional therapeutic methods, compositions and dosage forms are provided for treating male infertility that is related to inadequate production of phosphatidic acid. Such therapeutic approaches involve the use of phosphatidic acid or at least one of its precursors in the sperm intracellular signaling pathway.

A new composition and method are described for male fertility therapy. In one particular embodiment, the composition comprises Lepidium meyenii, carnitine and Coenzyme Q10. When it is administered to males as fertility therapy following the recommended therapeutic regimen, enhanced sperm count, sperm quality, and sperm motility results.

The invention relates to a culture fluid used for bovine in vitro fertilization and a method for improving bovine in vitro fertilization. The method for bovine in vitro fertilization comprises the following steps: washing the mature cumulus-oocyte complex in the fertilization medium, then transferring it to the fertilization medium, putting it into an incubator, and putting it into an incubator for subsequent use; tube, thawed in a water bath at 37°C, inject the semen into the centrifuge tube containing the semen preparation culture medium, centrifuge and discard the supernatant; add the semen preparation culture medium to the above centrifuge tube, resuspend the sperm pellet, and take an appropriate sperm suspension for spermatogenesis Counting; add the calculated volume of sperm suspension into the fertilization culture drop filled with oocytes, and put the culture plate into the incubator to incubate the sperm and eggs together, and complete the in vitro fertilization operation, ready for in vitro culture of embryos. The involved fertilization culture fluid and semen preparation culture fluid contain ingredients such as sodium pyruvate and heparin. The method of the invention can significantly improve the efficiency of bovine in vitro fertilization.

A compound composition for treating male infertility, which is mainly composed of arginine and zinc sulfate, the ratio of arginine to zinc sulfate is from 4.62:1 to 19.24:1, which greatly improves the number of sperm and Quality, that is, the motility rate and motility of sperm are improved, the rate of sperm deformity is reduced, and the toxicity is small. Compared with the single drug of arginine and the single drug of zinc sulfate, its therapeutic effect is better.
