Do antioxidants improve sperm quality?

By Jana Bechthold M.D. (gynaecologist on Clínica Tambre).
Last Update: 05/25/2021

Antioxidants can decrease oxidative stress and thus help to improve sperm quality.

Oxidative stress can affect sperm quality, both by damaging sperm motility and by fragmenting DNA, whereby the genetic alteration can be passed on to the embryo. The most important thing to improve sperm quality is to have a healthy lifestyle.
