Can nutraceuticals counteract the detrimental effects of the environment on male fertility? A parallel systematic review and expert opinion.
Introduction: Male fertility relies on a complex physiology that may be negatively influenced by lifestyle, diet, and environment. The beneficial effect of nutraceuticals on male fertility is a debated claim. The aim of this study was to assess if the positive effect of nutraceuticals can counteract the negative effects of the environment on male fertility.
Evidence acquisition: PubMed®/MEDLINE®, Embase and Cochrane Database were searched (September-October 2023), along with crosschecking of references and search for ongoing studies of the effects of the environment and nutraceuticals on male fertility, in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).
Evidence synthesis: Several environmental factors such as microplastic and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals and climate changes may affect the sperm quality in terms of reduction of sperm count number, mobility and altered morphology and thereby reduce male fertility. On the other hand, new evidence demonstrates that a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, together with minimized exposure to environmental toxins, may improve male fertility and reproductive health. Several nutraceutical compounds proved a protective role against negative environmental effects on male fertility.
Conclusions: Available evidence confirms that the environment may negatively impact male fertility, and this impact is estimated to rise in the forthcoming years. On the other hand, new data indicate that nutraceuticals may have a protective role against the negative impact of environmental factors on male fertility. The need for future studies to monitor and explore these aspects of men's health cannot be underestimated.
