ASTASHINE CAPSULES: AN EXCELLENT CHOICE TO IMPROVE SPERM PARAMETER AND FERTILITY
Abstract
In 2010, an estimated 48.5 million couples worldwide were infertile according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Infertility is defined as the inability of a sexually active, noncontracepting couple to achieve spontaneous pregnancy within one year. Other surveys have shown that 15% of couples do not achieve pregnancy within one year and seek medical treatment for infertility. Eventually close to 5% will remain unwillingly childless. One in eight couples encounters problems when attempting to conceive a first child and one in six when attempting to conceive a subsequent child.
Astaxanthin is most widely studied and talked about for enhancing endurance, sports recovery, and to support heart, brain and eye health. Recently, clinical trials have been conducted to learn the relationship between astaxanthin and sperm health. Several studies shown that the antioxidant astaxanthin, is supportive of sperm health and in particular sperm motility.
