Abstract in brief

The study found that higher levels of serum ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are linked to better reproductive hormone profiles in infertile men, particularly with increased testosterone levels.
Ascorbic acid was shown to have an inverse relationship with luteinizing hormone (LH) overall, but its positive effect on total testosterone was only evident in men over 41 years old.
These results suggest that vitamin C may help improve hormone balance and androgenic health in infertile males, with age playing a role in how effective it is.]
