According to the Government of Canada Report on Fertility, approximately 16%, or one in six couples, experience infertility and the male is the cause of the infertility in up to 50% of the cases. The same report noted that 57,000 couples seek medical help to assist with conception every year.
The effectiveness of PROfortil™ has been proven in five studies1-5 with more than 750 patients. In a controlled study of 205 patients1, for example, PROfortil™ was superior to the control group in improving all key metrics for sperm quality – ejaculatory volume, sperm cell density, progressive motility and normal morphology. More importantly, after three months of treatment with PROfortil™ 26% of couples achieved pregnancy.
In a separate study2, PROfortil™ was given to male patients with subclinical varicocele (an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, which is a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality) who had proven infertility for more than two years. Post-treatment evaluation showed an improvement in all male fertility parameters, with pregnancy occurring in 41% of couples.
