Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Marine fat, often referring to sources such as fish oil and other seafood-derived lipids, is well-documented for its high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Scientific studies have demonstrated that these omega-3 fatty acids play significant roles in supporting male reproductive health. Several clinical and animal studies indicate that omega-3 supplementation can improve sperm quality, motility, morphology, and concentration. For example, a randomized controlled trial published in Andrology (2019) showed that men who took fish oil supplements had higher semen volume and total sperm count compared to controls.

Furthermore, omega-3 fatty acids are known to reduce oxidative stress, which is a major factor in male infertility. They enhance the fluidity of sperm membranes, which is essential for proper sperm function and fertilization capability. A meta-analysis in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology (2017) concluded that dietary fish oil supplementation has a positive impact on sperm parameters in subfertile men. However, while the overall evidence is robust, results may vary depending on baseline fertility status, diet, and dosage. In summary, there is substantial scientific validation for the use of marine fat (specifically fish oil and similar sources) to support the male reproductive system, reflected by a strong, though not unanimous, evidence base.
