How long should PROFERTIL be taken?

Do I need to take both capsules at the same time or one in the morning and one in the evening?
It is recommended to take two capsules daily with or after a meal and together with some liquid. It is also possible to take both capsules at the same time. However, the daily dose of two capsules should not be exceeded.

Does PROFERTIL affect my ejaculate?
Studies have shown that taking PROFERTIL can increase ejaculate volume (more sperm).
Does PROFERTIL help with azoospermia?
Since azoospermia often has an organic cause, PROFERTIL is usually not a suitable solution. However, in any case it is important to consult a urologist to find out the specific reason (obstructive or non-obstructive) and consequently determine the best treatment for it. In case of non-obstructive azoospermia, PROFERTIL may be a supportive treatment in the context of IVF treatment (e.g. TESE). We kindly ask you to clarify this with your treating physician.
My partner had a miscarriage (repeatedly). Can this also be due to my sperm cells?
Extensive studies indicate a connection between repeated miscarriages and increased DNA fragmentation in sperm cells. These are breaks in the DNA strand of the sperm. In the case of repeated miscarriages or idiopathic infertility (= infertility for no apparent reason), clarification of DNA breaks is therefore recommended. Especially in men over 35 years of age, the risk of a significant amount of fragmented sperm DNA is increased. Two clinical studies have shown that PROFERTIL can reduce the proportion of sperm cells with breaks in the DNA strand.
