Healthy sperm is vital to a successful pregnancy, yet alarmingly the sperm quality of New Zealand men has halved in the past 20 years.

Planning a baby together should be one of life’s happiest and simplest journeys, but – as many couples have discovered – falling pregnant isn’t always so straightforward. Declining sperm health is part of the problem.

WHAT'S AFFECTING SPERM?
Changing lifestyle and environmental factors, such as the use of pesticides and herbicides, longer working weeks, increased stress levels, smoking and alcohol consumption have increased the amount of free radicals in the body (see box for details) – resulting in lower sperm counts and weakened sperm.

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?
Free radicals are like out-of-control chemical pin-balls, bouncing around causing damage to cells such as sperm.

Antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium all help ‘scavenge’ free radicals and reduce their production.


PRECONCEPTION CARE FOR MEN
Couples wanting to optimise their chances of falling pregnant should begin by optimising sperm health.

In some cases, stopping smoking or drinking and eating better foods will help fight the effects of stress and toxins on the body.

But now there’s additional support – a completely new and unique supplement for men specially formulated to support sperm health.

INTRODUCING MENEVIT
Menevit is a new once-a-day men’s vitamin supplement, containing powerful antioxidants to improve sperm health and optimise your chances of falling pregnant.

Made up of seven active ingredients, it helps fight free radicals while improving sperm motility and the production of normal sperm.

PROVEN SUPPORT
Menevit is the only male preconception supplement that’s been clinically shown to help with pregnancy rates.

From the makers of Elevit, Menevit is available to all couples planning a baby, and can be taken from the time you decide to try.
