Those men are candidatesfor empiric medical therapy which include antioxidant therapy. Men upplementPlus (MFS Plus) uses a powerful all-natural formula of many antioxidantsin addition to Relora to improve semen quality.Objectives:To evaluate the effect of MFS Plus on sperms concentration, motilityand morphology in men with oligo and/or asthenozoopermia in sample of Iraqiinfertile males.Methods:Acomparative clinical trial study was conducted at High Institute ofInfertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies during the periodfrom July 2015 till February 2017. Male partner of infertile couples who had oneor more of the following criteria oligo, astheno, and/or teratozospermia accordingto criteria of WHO 2010 were involved in this study.Eighty-one males were divided randomly into two groups, the first group (groupA) were given MFS Plus capsule AMS® (America Medic & Science) two capsulestwice daily for three months and the second group (group B) were givenvitamin E capsule (one capsule three times daily) for the same period.A secondsemen analysis were done after three months for each subject in both groups toshow the effect of both types of treatment on semen quality.Results:There was a highly significant increase in sperms progressive motility %(14.0±11.41 vs 29.35±15.61, p value < 0.001) and a highly significant decreasein immotile sperms % (60.15±19.3 vs 41.52±18.18, p value < 0.001) in the groupof patients who received MFS Plus treatment. Moreover, there was significantincrease in sperm concentration and percentage of normal sperm morphology (pvalue = 0.027, 0.019 respectively). However, no significant change was observedregarding semen volume and percentage of non-progressive motility.Whereasthere were no significant changes in any of semen analysis parameters in thegroup of patients (group B) who received placebo.Conclusion:MFS Plus usage for three months is very beneficial for sperm motilityin addition to its valuable effect on sperm concentration and morphology andit is more efficient than vitamin E alone.
