Question 1

We’ve just decided to try to get pregnant naturally. Do I need to take Vitamen Boost as well as Vitamen?

Accepted Answer

Most men who are preparing to have a baby will probably not choose to take Vitamen Boost as well as Vitamen. However, we would usually recommend that couples who are finding it difficult to get pregnant, or who are about to have assisted fertility treatment, should consider investing in the extra antioxidant support that Vitamen Boost provides.

Question 2

How does Vitamen Boost support male fertility?

Accepted Answer

Male infertility is a common issue worldwide, contributing to 50% of infertility cases among couples. One of the main factors affecting male fertility is oxidative stress, a condition where harmful molecules called free radicals overwhelm the body’s natural defences. This damage can lower sperm quality and quantity, making conception more difficult.

Vitamen Boost is our high strength antioxidant complex, to reduce oxidative stress and support male fertility.

To be taken alongside Vitamen as a "booster", either for men who have poor semen results, or who want to protect their reproductive health.

Question 3

Can I take Vitamen Boost instead of Vitamen?

Accepted Answer

No. We usually recommend that all our clients who are trying to get pregnant consider taking, as a first nutritional step, a good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement, like Vitamen, to help support their everyday diet. Vitamen has been specifically developed to help protect a man’s daily intake of those micro-nutrients that we believe are the most important for all round preconception health.

Vitamen Boost has been developed as a companion product to Vitamen for those of our clients who might also benefit from boosting their intake of antioxidants. Oxidative stress has been studied in relation to sperm health, which is why antioxidants feature in many preconception routines for men.

Question 4

What are the key nutrients in Vitamen Boost?

Accepted Answer

Premium male fertility boosters typically include potent antioxidants and key micronutrients that target sperm quality and reproductive function. Vitamen Boost combines these well-researched ingredients to combat oxidative stress, a leading contributor to poor sperm health. They work together to protect cells from damage that can impact sperm health and function.

Key ingredients include:

• Vitamin C: protects sperm from oxidative damage and supports sperm health
• Vitamin E: stabilises sperm cell membranes and works synergistically with Vitamin C
• Beta-carotene: a precursor to vitamin A with antioxidant properties
• Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): helps regenerate other antioxidants and protect sperm DNA
• Zinc: essential for testosterone production and sperm development
• Selenium: supports sperm motility and DNA integrity

Zinc is an essential nutrient for men, playing a critical role in sperm production and overall reproductive health. Its concentration in seminal fluid is approximately 30 times higher than in blood, which highlights its importance for semen quality through its antioxidant functions.

Both Vitamen and Vitamen Boost provide high levels of zinc to support spermatogenesis, which takes approximately 74 days to complete. For these reasons, we recommend taking Vitamen Boost for 3 months, followed by a break of at least 1 month, while continuing to take Vitamen daily for long-term nutritional support.

Question 5

Can I decant the vitamins into a pill pot?

Accepted Answer

No, we recommend keeping the vitamins in their original glass jar.

Our packaging is designed to protect the product quality. The glass jar, together with the desiccant and tightly sealed lid, helps prevent moisture and oxidation. Decanting into another container (like a pill pot) can expose the vitamins to air and humidity, which may cause colour changes and reduce their effectiveness.

Question 6

Will Vitamen Boost improve my sperm?

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that micro-nutrients used in Vitamen Boost may help with sperm health. Sperm health includes motility, formation, and sperm count.

Question 7

Should my partner be doing anything else to improve the health of his sperm?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are lots of lifestyle changes that can help support sperm health, from diet and exercise to reducing alcohol and managing stress. Click here for more information.

Question 8

What does “NRV” mean, and why are some ingredients in Vitamen Boost over 100% of it?

Accepted Answer

NRV stands for Nutrient Reference Value. NRVs are the reference amounts you'll see on food and supplement labels in the UK. They replaced the older Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) on labels in 2014 and are based on the amount of each vitamin and mineral an average healthy adult needs each day to avoid deficiency.

NRVs aren't a measure of optimal intake. They're a benchmark for avoiding deficiency.

Vitamen Boost contains some nutrients at levels well above 100% of the NRV. These amounts have been carefully chosen to help top up your body's nutrient stores at times when your needs may be higher, such as when you and your partner are trying to conceive.

All levels remain well within the Safe Upper Levels set out in UK government guidance, so you can feel confident you're supporting your body through this key stage of life.

Question 9

How do zinc and selenium enhance male reproductive health?

Accepted Answer

Zinc and selenium support male fertility through multiple mechanisms:

Zinc:

• Contributes to normal fertility and reproduction
• Plays a key role in spermatogenesis and testosterone regulation
• Acts as an antioxidant, protecting sperm from cellular damage
• Highly concentrated in seminal fluid, indicating its reproductive significance

Selenium:

• Essential for normal sperm formation and motility
• Helps protect sperm DNA from oxidative stress
• Supports thyroid function, which can influence reproductive hormones

Together, these minerals help maintain sperm quality, count, and motility during the preconception period.

Question 10

What is the recommended duration for taking fertility supplements?

Accepted Answer

Male fertility supplements should be taken for a minimum of three months, which covers the roughly 74 day cycle of spermatogenesis (sperm development). Specifically:

Vitamen Boost:

• Take daily for 3 consecutive months to support antioxidant defence and sperm health
• Then pause for at least 1 month before resuming, if desired

Vitamen:

• Can be taken continuously long term for foundational nutritional support

This combined approach helps target both short-term oxidative stress and long-term reproductive function.

Question 11

What is the difference between Vitamen Boost and Vitaseed Pro?

Accepted Answer

Both are designed to be taken alongside Vitamen, not instead of it, but they work in different ways.

Vitamen Boost is a capsule focused on antioxidant vitamins and minerals: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene, Selenium and Zinc, with Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine. Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis, and Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and Zinc contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. The daily serving is two capsules.

Vitaseed Pro is an orange-flavoured powder focused on Amino Acids, providing 1,000mg N-Acetyl L-Carnitine and 2,000mg D-Aspartic Acid with L-Arginine, Ginseng and Vitamin C. The daily serving is two level teaspoons stirred into water.

Some men take both, particularly when preparing for IVF or ICSI. Our Ultimate Male IVF Support Pack includes Vitamen, Vitamen Boost and Vitaseed Pro.
