Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether dietary supplements can improve male infertility by analyzing data from randomized controlled trials up to May 2024, focusing on outcomes like pregnancy, live birth, and sperm quality.
  • The findings showed no significant effect of dietary supplements on increasing pregnancy or live birth rates, but certain supplements like zinc, folic acid, selenium, carnitine, and coenzyme Q10 improved specific sperm parameters such as concentration and motility.
  • Overall, the evidence was of low certainty, and most studies had potential biases; more high-quality research is needed to determine whether dietary supplements truly benefit male infertility.]
