FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

  • What is PROFERTIL® for men?

    PROFERTIL® is a study-proven and patented formula to improve male fertility. It helps to optimize sperm quality in men who wish to father a child and have impaired fertility.

  • For whom is PROFERTIL® suitable for?

    The study-proven formulation of PROFERTIL® is suitable for men with impaired fertility. We ask you to clarify with your doctor whether PROFERTIL® is recommended in your case. PROFERTIL® might be also an option when preparing for IVF-treatment.

  • What is contained in PROFERTIL®?

    The specific and study-proven composition of PROFERTIL® specifically covers the increased micronutrient requirements of men with fertility disorders.

  • Can PROFERTIL® be taken in the context of IVF treatment?

    PROFERTIL® should be taken in preparation for or during IVF treatment to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.

  • How does PROFERTIL® work?

    The effectiveness of the patented PROFERTIL® formulation has been confirmed in 8 clinical studies. PROFERTIL® can improve all semen parameters (e.g. sperm count, motility, normal shape). In addition, PROFERTIL® can also reduce DNA breaks in sperm. Thus, PROFERTIL® can increase the chance of successful conception.

  • Are there studies on the efficacy of PROFERTIL®?

    Clinical studies have shown that PROFERTIL® can improve all sperm parameters relevant for conception. This includes sperm count, sperm motility (= motility) and sperm shape (= morphology). In addition, a reduction in the proportion of sperm cells with “fragmented” DNA was shown.

  • How is PROFERTIL® used?

    Take 2 capsules of PROFERTIL® daily with some liquid with or after a meal. Both capsules can be taken at the same time. If you have any further questions about consumption, please contact your doctor.

  • How long should PROFERTIL® be taken?

    Since a complete sperm development (= spermatogenesis) takes about 3 months, an improvement of sperm parameters is likely within this time by taking PROFERTIL®. This was also shown in the clinical studies on PROFERTIL®. The intake of PROFERTIL® is recommended until the desired pregnancy occurs.

  • Do I need to take both capsules at the same time or one in the morning and one in the evening?

    It is recommended to take two capsules daily with or after a meal and together with some liquid. It is also possible to take both capsules at the same time. However, the daily dose of two capsules should not be exceeded.

  • What should I do if I forget to take PROFERTIL®?

    If you forget to take PROFERTIL®, please make up for it by the next possible time. However, do not take twice the amount of PROFERTIL® if you have forgotten to take it before. The daily dosage of two capsules should not be exceeded.

  • What happens if I forget to take PROFERTIL® for several days?

    Continue to take PROFERTIL® as usual. If you stop taking PROFERTIL® for a long period of time, the effect may be reduced.

  • I have difficulty swallowing – can I open the capsule?

    You are welcome to open the PROFERTIL® capsules and take the powder without the capsule shell, as it does not contain any active substances. In case of swallowing difficulties, we recommend taking the powder preferably with some yogurt on a spoon, as it is not water soluble.

  • Are there any known side effects when taking PROFERTIL®?

    No side effects were observed in the clinical studies of PROFERTIL®. In addition, PROFERTIL® contains no allergens and is well tolerated.

  • Is PROFERTIL® suitable for vegans?

    Yes, they are “veggi-caps”. The PROFERTIL® capsule material is made of cellulose and the capsules are free of animal ingredients. None of the ingredients come from animals.

  • Is PROFERTIL® gluten-free?

    PROFERTIL® is gluten-free.

  • Is PROFERTIL® halal?

    PROFERTIL® is a halal-certified product. 

  • Is PROFERTIL® suitable for allergy sufferers?

    PROFERTIL® is free of any recognized food allergens (cereals containing gluten, shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk and derived products such as lactose, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, Sulphur dioxide and sulphites, lupine) and is also free of GMO (genetic modified organisms). In clinical studies no allergic reactions were observed. The capsule shell is made from cellulose does not contain any substances derived from animal ingredients. Anyways, PROFERTIL® should be used under medical supervision.

  • Is PROFERTIL® lactose-free?

    Yes, PROFERTIL® is free of lactose.

  • Does PROFERTIL® contain hormones?

    PROFERTIL® is a hormone-free product.

  • Is PROFERTIL® available only on prescription?

    No, PROFERTIL® is a dietary food for special medical purposes and therefore does not require a prescription. However, it should be taken under medical supervision. Before taking PROFERTIL® for the first time and in case of changes in intake, consultation with your doctor is required.

  • Where can I buy PROFERTIL®?

    You can buy PROFERTIL® online in our official webshop at https://shop.profertil.eu/.

  • In which package sizes is PROFERTIL® available?

    PROFERTIL® is available as a monthly pack of 60 capsules and as a 3-months pack of 180 capsules.

  • Where is PROFERTIL® manufactured?

    PROFERTIL® is manufactured in Austria according to the highest quality standards (GMP). Click here for the production video.

  • Can I take PROFERTIL® together with other medicines?

    So far, there are no known interactions when taking PROFERTIL® with other medicines. If you are taking medicines that limit fertility, it is essential to consult your doctor (e.g. antidepressants, immunosuppressants, cardiac medicines, anti-epileptics, cytostatics).

  • Can I take additional supplements to support male fertility or is PROFERTIL® alone sufficient?

    PROFERTIL® was developed specifically to support male fertility in those who wish to have children. The synergistic effect of the patented product composition is clinically proven. Therefore, it is not necessary to take additional supplements to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.

  • Does PROFERTIL® affect my ejaculate?

    Studies have shown that taking PROFERTIL® can increase ejaculate volume (more sperm).

  • Does PROFERTIL® help with azoospermia?

    Since azoospermia often has an organic cause, PROFERTIL® is usually not a suitable solution. However, in any case it is important to consult a urologist to find out the specific reason (obstructive or non-obstructive) and consequently determine the best treatment for it.

    In case of non-obstructive azoospermia, PROFERTIL® may be a supportive treatment in the context of IVF treatment (e.g. TESE). We kindly ask you to clarify this with your treating physician.

  • My partner had a miscarriage (repeatedly). Can this also be due to my sperm cells?

    Extensive studies indicate a connection between repeated miscarriages and increased DNA fragmentation in sperm cells. These are breaks in the DNA strand of the sperm. In the case of repeated miscarriages or idiopathic infertility (= infertility for no apparent reason), clarification of DNA breaks is therefore recommended. Especially in men over 35 years of age, the risk of a significant amount of fragmented sperm DNA is increased.

    Two clinical studies have shown that PROFERTIL® can reduce the proportion of sperm cells with breaks in the DNA strand.

    More information on this topic can be found here:

  • Is PROFERTIL® also suitable for men with too many sperm (polyzoospermia)?

    Studies have shown that taking PROFERTIL® often reduces sperm count to a normal density. It is assumed that the micronutrients contained in PROFERTIL® can positively influence the self-regulation of sperm production.

  • How should PROFERTIL® be stored?

    PROFERTIL® should be stored dry, protected from light and not above room temperature (25 °C).

  • Is PROFERTIL® also available for women?

    Yes, the study-proven product PROFERTIL® female supports the fertility of women who wish to have children.

    For more information on PROFERTIL® female, please visit our website:
    https://profertil-female.eu/

  • How does the PROFERTIL® capsule look like?

    As we are in the process of changing the capsule shell in the European Union, there are currently three different types of capsules on the market:

    The changes only affect the colour of the capsule shell, while the study-proven composition of PROFERTIL® remains unchanged and is still vegan, lactose- and gluten-free as well as halal-certified.

2 x daily during 3 months and the findings have already shown a good improvement. Not for nothing all doctors recommend it.

«I recommend PROFERTIL® to my customers»

My sister / brother-in-law have been trying to get pregnant for years and have been with a fertility clinic for a long time. I can now give you feedback. The quality of the sperm has increased from 4% to 10%, my sister is now 7 weeks pregnant and we hope for a positive outcome.

I will recommend PROFERTIL® to my customers with a very clear conscience. Many love greetings

«Desire for Children Fulfilled»

The capsules are great. We had already tried for children for a while (about 2 years). After I had taken about 3/4 of a pack, my wife was pregnant. It’s easy to take in the morning after breakfast – no side effects – and our little one is now 4 weeks old. I can definitely recommend it. Great!

Source: shop-apotheke.at

«Wow!»

These capsules are really very good. After a long illness, I wanted to have children. Somehow, it didn’t work out, even though my partner and I were both healthy. But after taking Profertil regularly, we finally became parents.

«Pregnant, Thanks to PROFERTIL®

For men, there is little that can be done if the spermiogram is bad. That was the case with us, and that’s why I ordered Profertil. My husband had OAT2, a spermiogram that was bad across all parameters, and we had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. Immediately after the bad spermiogram, I bought Profertil. After 8 weeks, there was already a clear improvement in sperm count, sperm motility and sperm shape. And only 2 weeks after that, the miracle: Pregnancy!

«It worked for my husband.»

Hello Bianca,
My husband had a sperm count increase from approximately 8 million to just over 20 million sperm per ml. We attribute it to Profertil, which he took per the doctor’s recommendation after his devastating diagnosis. What convinced us, in advance: the studies. They sounded valid to us. It is rare for studies to prove the „effects“ of dietary supplements. In addition [to taking Profertil], we do not go to the sauna, nor put ourselves under pressure, and since I can sometimes be a bit meticulous, we even made our bed mite-free with dust mite spray. I wish you success!

«Experience With PROFERTIL®»

Hello everybody, I just came across this forum. My husband and I had been trying to have children for 4 years, without success. At first, we thought it was due to external stress factors in our lives since we both travel a lot for work, but when my husband went to his Doctor for a Spermiogram, we encountered tough news. He was diagnosed with Oligo-asthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) with a low sperm count of 9 million. I just felt like crying. It was devastatingly negative. Our fertility doctor then recommended Profertil to us before even trying IVF treatment because he had very good experiences with his patients using the product in his fertility clinic. At first, we were skeptical, but what did we have to lose in our situation? Nothing. After 8 weeks of taking Profertil, my husband went back to the Doctor for a new Spermiogram and this time, had a new sperm count of 27 million. This gave us hope. Now, 3 months later, it finally worked. We are overjoyed! The semen analysis has improved significantly and we are now finally becoming parents! I can ONLY recommend Profertil. Wishing you all much success and strength. Tonya.

«Hello!»

It definitely helped us! After 2 negative ICSI’s, we tried Profertil for 3 months. And really – I just got pregnant without any medical help! The doctor could hardly believe it, and even thought someone else was involved! 🙁 How ridiculous! Good luck!!

«After Failed Fertility Treatments, Natural Conception With Profertil»

Dear Fine,
I can only tell you that we were in fertility treatment forever. I finally decided I only wanted to try to conceive naturally or not at all. I gave my hubby Profertil, and during our 3rd cycle (of trying naturally with Clearblue monitor and Profertil), I was pregnant. My husband is not the kind of person who enjoys eating healthily, and in cases such as his, Profertil can really be well-recommended. There are lots of great nutrients in it to help the swimmers get fit again. Best Regards and Good Luck, Peggy

«Very good product»

My spermiogram was quite bad and my urologist recommended the PROfertil capsules to me. After about 6 months, I had a new spermiogram done and ALL values have improved significantly. Above all, the vitality of the sperm has improved from 37% to 65% !!! i can really recommend the product. Full 5 stars from me *****

«Boosted my sperm count»

Can’t tell you how many tests and results I had reinforcing my low sperm count and making me feel like a dud! In the end, we sought outside help from a [fertility] clinic and they recommended taking this as a supplement. Now we changed lots of things, boxers to keep the nads cool, no laptop on lap, etc. but realistically the facts do speak for themselves. My sperm count did rise when I took these and it was a great boost…. Obviously dietary changes benefited my improved sperm count and probably saved the NHS approx 15K pounds (average cost of IVF…) but surely something as simple and effective as this as a first-line option…would be better than the high tech option of IVF etc. … I would recommend this product. It did what it would say and we have a healthy baby boy and I feel a more natural approach has to be right in the end…”

«Low sperm count»

Was told that my sperm count was low but my semen was ok so we decided to try natural options to improve fertility levels. Six months later and with no medical intervention I was retested and my sperm count was noticeably improved. One month later, my wife was pregnant…we are both thankful for the improvements made by this supplement.

«The best thing is: we are expecting a child»

I am a doctor but NOT sponsored by any company … and my wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for a full 2 years. As I wrote in December, my semen analysis was initially suboptimal and it has now normalized under the drug…
The best thing is: we are expecting a child. Currently 9th week of pregnancy.
I can only say Profertil is worth a try and always cheaper than sterility treatment.
Good luck!

«PROFERTIL® … a miracle cure :-))))»

Hello everybody
I have a son who is 8 1/2 months old. But it was created with the help of ART. Before that, we practiced for 2 1/2 years.
[My] spermiogram got worse and worse that the fertility specialist said we’d have a better chance winning the lottery than to become parents the natural way: – //
…In March I started feeding my darling with PROFERTIL. Simply with the hope that a few more useful swimmers can be found at the next ICSI and that the Reproductive Specialist won’t have any more reason to stress. And yesterday I took a pregnancy test … and it said ‘Pregnant’ :-))))) Today I went to the fertility specialist and he confirmed the pregnancy. He could hardly believe it and said again that he never expected us to get pregnant naturally!
…It’s really awesome, we won the lottery … WOW :-))))))))))))))))))))

«Quite helpful»

…I have 4 spermiograms behind me. I started to take the [PROFERTIL] tablets… [the first spermiograms] were tested at about 8Mio \ ml, no fast sperm, and very few movable [sperm] … now I have now bought my second pack [of PROFERTIL] and the conclusion is .. 40 million / ml and 2% fast moving sperm… it is certain that it is worth trying the tablets!

«…IT WORKED»

Well.. I bought his product for myself, recommended by the doctor because my sperm quality was horrible (really, really bad). It was recommended to take it at least 3 months due to the [sperm] production cycle. For the rest, I had changed nothing (no special diet ) –just this. I started [taking PROFERTIL] in June…wife was pregnant in December. As a matter of fact, I heard from other people that they also had good results with Profertil… it was definitely worth it.

Fertility Experts around the globe trust in PROFERTIL®s evidence-
based, patented formulation and clinically-proven efficacy,
but nothing is more convincing than seeing it work in their own patients.
Hear what a few experts recently had to say about their experiences with PROFERTIL®

Facharzt für Urologie / Vorstand der Urologischen Abteilung, Landesklinikum Thermenregion Baden

Dr. Claus Riedl

Specialist in Urology / Director of the Urology Department at Landesklinikum Thermenregion Baden

«Of particular importance is the topic of “DNA damage in sperm cells,” which is the subject of much current research. Although a man’s sperm supply is inexhaustible, the sperm quality decreases with age. Studies have shown that PROFERTIL® protects sperm against damage to genetic material (DNA). “Fragile DNA” is increasingly present in male sperm production from the age of 35. This means that PROFERTIL® protects the genetic material that we pass on to the next generation and provides the best conditions for our children to have a good start in life.»

«Half of the causes of infertility are found in men, and a significant proportion of these are associated with low spermiogram results. If it is possible to further confirm the promising effects on the number and quality of sperm that this supplement showed in the Imhof study, it could reduce the medical effort required for male infertility or, ideally, make fertility treatment unnecessary.»

«In my 25 years as a reproductive physician, I have experienced many frustrating attempts to improve the quality of the ejaculate with medication. PROFERTIL® is in my opinion the first scientifically verifiable combination of active ingredients that improves sperm quality. Oligo-terato-asthenospermia is only a part of the “male factor.” I am convinced that there will be many more measurable aspects in the future that will benefit from such micronutrients.»

Dr. Erik Randall Huber, FEBU / Facharzt für Urologie

Dr. Erik Randall Huber

FEBU / Specialist in Urology

«Physical (heat, trauma), chemical (smoking, medication), anatomical (varicoceles) and infectious causes can lead to DNA strand breaks in sperm. Such sperm have a limited ability to fertilize an egg, and if they do, they present a much higher risk of miscarriage. New scientific research shows that about half of all involuntarily childless couples show DNA fragmentation in the sperm. The analysis of the degree of DNA fragmentation in sperm is therefore an important complement to the spermiogram. However, it is even more important to offer a suitable therapy for these cases in order to make the wish to have children come true.

The study “DNA Fragmentation Index Decreases after Micronutrient Supplementation” showed that PROFERTIL® significantly reduced sperm DNA fragmentation after 3 months of use. With PROFERTIL®, urologists can finally offer their patients a therapy option for treating idiopathic subfertility that has scientifically proven efficacy.»

Dr. Martin Imhof

Dr. Martin Imhof

Gynecologist, Chief Physician at Korneuburg Clinic / IMI Center for Fertility

«The causes of infertility are found in men almost as often as they are in women. This means that it is very important to first have the male sperm tested with a spermiogram in the initial phase of treatment. If it turns out that the cause is found in the man, antioxidative therapy can significantly improve the parameters of sperm analysis. The efficacy of the special formula provided by PROFERTIL® has been demonstrated in clinical studies with over a thousand patients. The remarkable results of these studies are probably the most convincing reason to prescribe the product in cases of male infertility.»
