Top Male Fertility Supplements in Australia and New Zealand
If you are looking for supplements to help you conceive look no further!
Several high profile long-term fertility studies have shown that sperm count, movement and morphology have dropped by more than half over 50 years. Scientists have been investigating how to increase sperm count for some time.
Fortunately, more than 100 clinical studies have shown that a group of 15 widely-available antioxidants (for example, from plant extracts), amino acids, vitamins and trace elements can effectively improve these quality factors and increase sperm count to reverse this trend. To help couples conceive supplements are available which combine these nutrients.
There are many supplements available on the market including Fertilsan M and Profertil. We have compared the most popular fertility supplements for men based on the nutrient combinations they offer.
We have rated these according to which are the best male supplements to conceive a baby faster. Read our reviews below to find out how to improve sperm count and how to increase fertility in men.
The Top 4 in Summary
1st: Fertilsan M Amitamin
Fertilsan M by Amitamin has achieved the highest score in our comparison of male fertility supplements. This is because it combines a variety of the most important nutrients for male fertility into one comprehensive supplement.
Furthermore the individual quantities of nutrients in Fertilsan M are large enough to have a positive impact on fertility, making this a high quality supplement. These nutrients include amino acids such as arginine and carnitine, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, and folic acid which is beneficial for men as well as women.
2nd: Profertil Gonadosan
Profertil by Gonadosan scores in second place in our comparison. This is because it contains an excellent varied mix of nutrients including carnitine, arginine, vitamin E and zinc.
However it is missing a number of key vitamins including vitamins A and C as well as pine bark extract.
3rd: FertilAid Fairhaven Health
FertilAid by Fairhaven Health comes in at third place in our comparison of male fertility supplements.
FertilAid contains a good mix of vitamins and other nutrients including folate and magnesium. However it does not contain any amino acids apart from carnitine which is included within a proprietary blend in an unspecified amount.
4th: Fertility Formula Mygen Health
Fertility Formula by Mygen Health scores 4th place in our comparison. This is because it contains a broad mix of nutrients including vitamin C, manganese and selenium.
However, Fertility Formula does not contain pine bark extract or any amino acids.
How We Have Rated
We have compared well-known combination products for male fertility available online or on the high street in Australia and New Zealand. To compare the products at ingredient level, we have either assigned none, one or two ticks based on the level of their effective dosage.
Finally, only nutrients proven effective in the majority of scientific, peer-reviewed studies were considered. The number of ticks was then added together to produce a final “tick” score.
The comparison shows that differences in price and quality are quite substantial. But paying more does not always mean that you will get more in terms of effective nutrients.
Who should consider fertility supplements?
Sperm production (spermatogenesis) in men is a complex and sensitive process, i.e. to environmental factors such as trauma (temperature, physical) as well as nutritional deficiencies (a poor diet).
The active ingredients are highly concentrated standard nutrients also found in common foods. These fertility supplements are therefore classified as foods. Fertility experts therefore routinely recommend aspiring fathers several months of food supplements as a standard preparation for IVF and other fertility treatments.
The biggest single factor for reduced male fertility is DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. This can be effectively reduced with the right antioxidants.

More nutrients combined are much more effective than fewer or single micronutrients, because “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”.
In fact, however, all aspiring fathers benefit from male fertility supplements, because of their
- proven efficacy in 55+ scientific studies[1. Imhof M, Lackner J, Lipovac M, Chedraui P, Riedl C. Improvement of sperm quality after micronutrient supplementation. e-SPEN Journal. 2012. 7(1): e50-e53]
- high level of safety. In principle they have no side effects and are therefore suitable for continuous consumption,
- very moderate financial cost, particularly in relation to artificial fertilisation.
The sperm production cycle takes approximately 80 days, which is why the supplements should be taken as soon as the couple starts trying to conceive for at least three months. Preferably, until the partner is pregnant and ideally until the pregnancy is past the critical 12 week pregnancy mark. In addition, aspiring fathers must pay particular attention to their diet and lifestyle (more tips here).
This approach will guarantee an optimal supply of the most important micronutrients to allow sperm production to run at optimum levels.
Summary
Indeed, the best products offer the widest wide range of proven effective ingredients. In terms of cost one should budget between $40 and $60 per month.
Relative to their importance and the physical, emotional and monetary cost of the alternatives, however, that is a minor investment.
