Abstract
The present invention relates to a fertility-enhancing composition for human male fertility therapy and a method for using the same to improve or enhance human male fertility. The nutritional supplement composition of the invention includes an effective amount of L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, vitamin B12, N-acetyl L-cysteine, and grape seed extract.
Core Innovation
The invention describes a fertility-enhancing nutritional supplement composition for improving male fertility. The composition comprises an effective amount of L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B12, N-acetyl L-cysteine, grape seed extract, biotin, molybdenum, and lycopene, and a single serving size contains at least about 25 mg of molybdenum.
The invention also addresses impaired human male fertility associated with oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS), including sperm dysfunction. The described composition is positioned as a way to improve oxidative-stress-related sperm dysfunction by combining actives associated with antioxidant activity and related protective effects.
Documented embodiments further describe formulation details and use in human fertility therapy, including multi-capsule formulations and a comparison of the disclosed supplement against placebo in an efficacy study. The study is described in connection with conception outcomes, including natural conception and in vitro fertilization, over a treatment duration of at least about 3 months.
Claims Coverage
The independent claim provides one inventive feature: a nutritional supplement composition for improving male fertility with a specified set of active ingredients and a quantitative molybdenum requirement per single serving. Dependent claims refine the composition by specifying additional ingredients and/or ingredient forms and quantitative thresholds, and at least one dependent claim refines a method aspect by specifying an administration frequency.
Fertility-improving multi-active nutritional supplement composition with molybdenum threshold
A nutritional supplement composition for improving male fertility comprising an effective amount of L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B12, N-acetyl L-cysteine, grape seed extract, biotin, molybdenum, and lycopene, wherein a single serving size of the composition contains at least about 25 mg of molybdenum.
Overall, the claim set centers on a specific fertility-enhancing nutritional supplement composition defined by a combination of actives and a molybdenum content requirement per single serving, with dependent refinements further narrowing ingredient forms, per-unit quantitative thresholds, additional included nutrients, and method administration frequency.
Stated Advantages
