Bifidobacterium longum
Gut HealthTestosterone SupportImmune Balance
Bifidobacterium longum supports a balanced gut microbiome, which emerging research links to normal testosterone levels and normal inflammatory response. It works alongside Lactobacillus rhamnosus in Menceive to support the gut-hormone connection relevant to male reproductive health during preconception.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Sperm MotilityAntioxidant SupportGut Health
Lactobacillus rhamnosus supports gut balance and contributes to normal gut microbiota, an area of growing research interest in relation to oxidative stress and male reproductive health. It works alongside Bifidobacterium longum in Menceive as part of a 21-day course supporting gut health during preconception.
Zinc
Sperm HealthHormone SupportPreconception Care
Zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood and has been studied in relation to sperm development and DNA integrity within developing sperm cells. It contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, and its antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative stress during the spermatogenesis cycle.
Selenium
SpermatogenesisAntioxidant SupportThyroid Function
Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, including developing sperm cells, and to normal spermatogenesis. It has been studied in relation to sperm motility and contributes to normal thyroid function, which plays a role in normal hormonal activity during preconception.
Quatrefolic® (Folate)
DNA HealthSperm QualityCell Division
Active Folate contributes to normal DNA synthesis and cell division throughout the 74-day spermatogenesis cycle, and has been studied in relation to sperm DNA integrity. Quatrefolic is the body-ready form of Folate, absorbed directly without the conversion step synthetic Folic Acid requires.
Coenzyme Q10
Cellular EnergySperm MotilityAntioxidant Support
CoQ10 has been studied in relation to mitochondrial function within sperm cells, where energy availability is relevant to motility. As an antioxidant, it also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, a recognised factor in sperm health and DNA integrity during the spermatogenesis cycle.
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine
Sperm MotilityCellular EnergyMitochondrial Support
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine has been studied in relation to the mitochondrial Carnitine shuttle within sperm cells, where energy availability is relevant to motility. It works alongside CoQ10 in Vitamen as part of a researched combination for sperm mitochondrial function during the spermatogenesis cycle.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant SupportSperm HealthCell Protection
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that contributes to the protection of sperm cell membranes from oxidative stress during the spermatogenesis cycle. Alongside Selenium and CoQ10, it forms part of Vitamen's antioxidant profile - studied in combination for their role in male reproductive cell protection.
B Vitamin Complex
Energy MetabolismHormone BalanceDNA Health
Vitamen provides active coenzyme forms of B6 and B12 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate and Methylcobalamin), which the body can use directly without needing an extra conversion step. These contribute to normal energy metabolism and work alongside Folate to support normal DNA synthesis during the spermatogenesis cycle.
Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil
Omega 3Brain DevelopmentAll Stages
Ultra-pure, marine-sourced DHA and EPA support sperm integrity and motility in men, egg health and hormone balance in women, foetal brain and nervous system development in pregnancy, and infant brain development during breastfeeding, when babies rely on maternal reserves.
Zinc
Ovulation SupportTestosterone SupportDNA synthesis
Zinc supports DNA synthesis, hormone production and immunity throughout the reproductive journey - aiding ovulation and egg quality in women, testosterone and sperm health in men, foetal neural development in pregnancy, and postnatal healing, hormone rebalance and immune transfer via breast milk.
Vitamin D3
All StagesImmune HealthBone Health
Vitamin D3 supports fertility, hormone regulation, immunity and healthy cell division. It may support egg implantation, menstrual regularity and sperm health, while supporting foetal bone and teeth development and breastfeeding mothers’ and babies’ vitamin D needs.
Selenium
Sperm HealthAntioxidant SupportImmune Support
Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis and the protection of developing sperm cells from oxidative stress - one of the few nutrients with an authorised claim specifically for sperm development. It has been extensively studied in male reproductive research, particularly in combination with Vitamin E, where synergistic antioxidant activity has been observed.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant SupportSperm HealthCell Protection
Vitamin E is embedded in the membranes of sperm cells, which are among the most oxidatively vulnerable cells in the body due to their high polyunsaturated fatty acid content. It contributes to the protection of these membranes from oxidative stress and has been studied extensively in male reproductive research, particularly alongside Selenium.
Zinc
Sperm ProductionSemen QualityHormone Support
Zinc is concentrated in seminal fluid at levels far higher than in blood, reflecting its central relevance to male reproductive nutritional status. It contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, normal testosterone levels and the protection of cells from oxidative stress - three directly authorised claims relevant to male preconception health.
Vitamin C
Antioxidant SupportSperm HealthImmune Support
Vitamin C is found at concentrations up to ten times higher in seminal fluid than in blood, where it plays a key role in protecting sperm DNA from oxidative damage. It has been studied in relation to sperm motility, morphology and count, particularly where oxidative stress is a contributing factor.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Cellular EnergyAntioxidant SupportSperm Health
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile antioxidant working in both water and fat-soluble environments, contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress throughout the body. Its dual solubility allows it to work across a broader range of cells and tissues than either water or fat-soluble antioxidants alone.
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine
Sperm MotilityCellular EnergyMitochondrial Support
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine has been studied in relation to the mitochondrial Carnitine shuttle within sperm cells, where energy availability is central to the tail movement needed for motility. It has also been studied in relation to sperm count and morphology, particularly in men where oxidative stress is elevated.
Beta Carotene
Antioxidant SupportSperm HealthCell Protection
Beta Carotene is a plant-derived precursor to Vitamin A and a fat-soluble antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It has been studied in the context of male reproductive health and complements the water-soluble antioxidants in Vitamen Boost, broadening the spectrum of cellular protection.
