Fertility is an important topic for couples. Infertility rates have been on the rise over the past few decades around the world. This increase concerns both men and women.
Men and women are looking for practical solutions to support fertility. Infertility rates have been on the rise due to several factors, including postponement of childbearing, environmental factors, and changing lifestyle behaviors.
Lynside® Forte Se+ and Quatrefolic®: A Potent Combination To Promote Fertility
Lynside® Forte Se+ is a selenium-enriched yeast supporting male fertility. Thanks to the selenium content, Lynside® Forte Se+ supports spermatogenesis.
Selenium acts on different selenoproteins to:
- Act as an antioxidant defense agent
- Shield the sperm from DNA damage by oxidative stress
- Ensure integrity and motility of sperm
- Act as an essential component of the selenium delivery pathway for developing spermatogenic cells
Lynside® Forte Se+ is also considered an excellent ingredient to support female fertility. As an antioxidant, selenium may influence follicles’ later growth and proliferation. In addition, selenium may positively impact embryo development and survival.
In parallel, Quatrefolic®, the biological form of folate, is the perfect solution to support female fertility. Folate is indispensable for follicular and embryonic development. Supplementation with Quatrefolic® is associated with low homocysteine levels and may increase the chance of getting pregnant. High homocysteine concentration is associated to:
- Difficulties getting pregnant
- Increased risk of miscarriage
Quatrefolic® also supports male fertility with an impact in spermatogenesis. Indeed, low folate in semen is associated to:
- Poor sperm DNA stability
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm motility and morphology
Deep Dive Into Folate
Folate, also known as vitamin B9 or folic acid, is a water-soluble essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in many physiological processes in the body, such as healthy cell growth, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.
