Unsaturated fats, which include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (such as those found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish), have been the subject of research regarding their effects on male reproductive health. Scientific evidence suggests that unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, play a role in supporting male fertility. These fats are key structural components of sperm cell membranes and are involved in processes that affect sperm motility, morphology, and overall function.

Several studies have demonstrated that higher dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with improved sperm quality parameters, such as concentration, motility, and morphology. Additionally, diets rich in unsaturated fats are linked to better cardiovascular health, which can indirectly benefit reproductive function by supporting hormonal balance and blood flow to reproductive organs.

However, while there is moderate scientific support for the role of unsaturated fats in male reproductive health, the evidence is not unequivocal. Some studies have shown positive effects, while others report no significant benefit. Most of the available research supports the inclusion of unsaturated fats as part of a balanced diet for general health, with potential, but not definitive, benefits for male reproductive function.
