Selenium ascorbate is a compound combining selenium and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Both selenium and vitamin C play important roles in male reproductive health, though most research evaluates them separately rather than as the combined selenium ascorbate compound. Selenium is an essential trace mineral with antioxidant properties and is necessary for normal spermatogenesis; it is a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which helps protect sperm from oxidative damage. Clinical and observational studies have shown that selenium supplementation may improve sperm motility, morphology, and count, especially in men with infertility linked to oxidative stress. Some meta-analyses suggest that selenium, sometimes in combination with other antioxidants, can support male fertility parameters. Vitamin C is also a well-known antioxidant that can help protect sperm DNA from oxidative stress and may improve sperm quality in deficient individuals.

There is moderate scientific support (evidence rating: 3/5) for the use of selenium and vitamin C to support the male reproductive system, particularly in the context of antioxidant supplementation for male infertility. However, direct studies of selenium ascorbate specifically are limited, and most evidence involves the individual components. The use of selenium ascorbate for male reproductive health is therefore justified by the scientific evidence for its constituents, with a need for more direct clinical trials on the compound itself.
