Abstract

Antioxidants include diverse exogenous and endogenouscompounds that can neutralize free radical activity, which ultimately protects sperm from oxidative stress (OS). Nevertheless, a controlled balance between oxidation and reduction is of paramount importance for cellular function. Excessive use of antioxidants should be avoided. A combination of antioxidants has been utilized to obtain a synergetic effect in the treatment of male infertility. Antioxidants have been shown to have a positive effect on semen parameters with a decrease in DNA damage. Future large randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the real impact of antioxidants on semen parameters, reproductive outcomes, and DNA integrity.
