Medication description
Spermactin is a biologically active food supplement designed to improve quantitative and qualitative (sperm motility, concentration) sperm parameters. Its clinical trials took place in several reputable research institutions. The results of a study at the Irkutsk Diagnostic Center indicate that after the use of this agent, the characteristics of the spermogram improve significantly within a month from the date of the start of administration: in approximately 42.2% of patients from the total number of subjects, a stable normalization of sperm parameters is observed. After a couple of months, this figure increases to58.1%. Six months later, the spermogram indicates an improvement in the characteristics of male germ cells in 81.9% of patients.
Pharmacological effect
Many were impressed by the effectiveness of the drug "Spermactin". Reviews about its use speak for themselves. The pharmacological action of this drug extends to the metabolism of substances that stimulate spermatogenesis, so it increases the total number and concentration of spermatozoa, improves their morphology (structure, shape and some other indicators) and mobility. The positive therapeutic effect of the drug "Spermaktin" on the body of patients is due to its qualitative composition. Includes:
- L-carnitine fumarate, which provides an increase in motility and normal maturation of spermatozoa, as well as intensifies metabolic (including energy) processes in the cells of the male reproductive system.
- Acetyl-L-carnitine, responsible for the efficient functioning of spermatozoa and stabilizing their cell walls.
- Fructose, which is the main source of energy for ejaculated male germ cells. In addition, it has a positive effect on the functioning of the seminal vesicles and has a stimulating effect on the fertilizing properties of the ejaculate.
- Most patients consider Spermactin to be very effective. The composition of this tool, in addition to the above components, includes citric acid, which helps to reduce the viscosity of seminal fluid, as well as activating the production of hyaluronidases responsible forpenetration of the sperm into the egg. Among other things, citric acid is considered a marker of prostate excretion.
Indications for use
The drug "Spermactin", the composition of which is indicated above, is used to treat the following pathologies:
- male infertility;
- oligoastenozoospermia (low sperm activity) grade III–IV;
- when removing infertility using various reproductive techniques (PE, ICSI, IVF, etc.);
- to improve the quality of sperm intended for donor use;
- with metabolic disorders and dysfunction of mitochondria (elements of the cellular system responsible for supplying the body with energy).

Special Instructions
According to statistics, aboutForty percent of cases of infertility are caused by pathologies of the male reproductive system. One of these flaws is the deterioration of the properties of sperm. The presence of L-carnitine or its derivatives in the body has a significant impact on this indicator. A number of studies carried out in many Western countries testify to the high effectiveness of these substances in restoring men's he alth. Preparations containing L-carnitine in their composition have earned positive feedback from patients. "Spermactin", created on the basis of the results of the research, contains acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine, which play a leading role in the processes of division and maturation of spermatozoa and in ensuring their functional mobility. It is well known that the maturation of male germ cells lasts 74 days, so it is very important not to interrupt the intake of L-carnitine and other active ingredients during this period of time. And, despite the fact that the first results of using Spermaktin are noticeable when studying seminal fluid after three to four months, the greatest efficiency is achieved after a course of therapy lasting about six months. However, you should always consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Analogues

The above medicines are usually used as additional sources of L-carnitine in the treatment of pathologies caused by its lack, or during heavy physical exertion. And the drug "Spermaplant" is used to improve reproductive he alth in men.
