Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether adding Medicago sativa (alfalfa) seed powder to vitamin E improves semen quality in men with unexplained infertility, compared to taking vitamin E alone.
  • Results showed that men who took M. sativa had significantly better improvements in sperm count, motility, and morphology after three months, with four pregnancies in this group versus none in the placebo.
  • While semen volume slightly decreased in both groups, this change was not significant, and a few mild side effects like bloating and respiratory issues were reported.]
