Observational study to see the effect of use of natural Antioxidant supplement on sperm DNA fragmentation. Subjects will take the natural antioxidant for 3 months prior to repeat testing.
Male patients will be recruited based on having a high DNA fragmentation (chromatin >16) no other severe male factor infertility (>5million/ml, count, > 10%motility and >1% morphology) and sufficient ejaculate sperm for ICSI (no surgically removed sperm or history of vasectomy reversal). Patients will be provided the natural antioxidant supplementation by the sponsor. Patients will take 1 capsule orally 3 times a day for a full 12 weeks. Sperm DNA structure will be re-assessed after completion of 12 weeks of antioxidant to compare to baseline sperm DNA structure collected prior to starting regimen of supplement daily
