Royal Jelly Supplementation in Unexplained Male Infertility
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Lyophilized Royal Jelly: Participants will receive 750 mg of Lyophilized Royal Jelly capsules daily for 3 months (90 days).
Placebo: Participants will receive inert capsules identical in appearance and taste to the experimental drug daily for 3 months (90 days)
Study summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigates the effects of oral Royal Jelly supplementation on sperm DNA fragmentation and pregnancy rates in couples with unexplained infertility. While routine semen analysis appears normal (normozoospermia) in these patients, underlying Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) and oxidative stress are believed to contribute to reproductive failure.
Participants will be randomized to receive either 750 mg of lyophilized Royal Jelly or a placebo daily for a period of 3 months (90 days). The study aims to evaluate whether the antioxidant properties of Royal Jelly can improve sperm chromatin integrity, reduce oxidative stress markers, and increase spontaneous pregnancy rates compared to the control group
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (SDF) — Baseline (Day 0) and Post-treatment (Day 90)
DNA damage will be assessed using the HaloSperm to determine the percentage of spermatozoa with fragmented DNA - Spontaneous Pregnancy Rate — Up to 3 months (90 days)
Number of couples achieving spontaneous pregnancy during the study period.
