It takes two – 5 reasons he should start taking a male fertility supplement this year

Emma Harpham in partnership with Proceive®   |   6 Jan 2025


If you’ve been TTC (trying to conceive) for any length of time, you’ll probably have read – and heard – that ‘it takes two to tango’ more times than you can count. 

And whilst it’s obvious that male partners play a hugely important role, just being told this without knowing exactly how, and without a clear plan to move your TTC journey forward, feels massively unhelpful.

Real, actionable support – for both of you – with a basis in small lifestyle tweaks, diet changes and supplementation is what will actually make a difference.

Why your guy should start taking a male fertility supplement

1. Male fertility matters as much as yours

When it comes to conception, male health is just as important as our own – although this is something that has historically been overlooked. 

According to team Proceive®, sperm provides 50% of the genetic makeup of a baby. And unless a healthy, well-shaped sperm can reach and penetrate the egg, it is unlikely that conception will happen.

Producing sperm is a demanding biological process, and men must generate between 40 and 300 million sperm cells for optimal fertility. This involves significant energy and relies heavily on the availability of specific nutrients. 

Unfortunately, nutrient deficiencies are one of the most common causes of poor sperm quality, motility, and count. This is where the concept of Trimester Zero comes in. 

It emphasises the importance of preparing both your bodies for conception well before you start trying. For men, this means supporting their sperm production with the right nutritional building blocks to give you both the best possible chance of success – for at least 3 months before you start trying to conceive.

2. Modern lifestyles can negatively sperm health in many ways…

Modern life can take its toll on sperm health in more ways than you’d think. Some of the biggest factors include:

  • Stress
  • Poor diet
  • Drinking excessively
  • Lack of exercise
  • Exposure to environmental toxins like pollution and chemicals

These factors can all have a negative impact, lowering sperm count, reducing motility, and affecting sperm quality.

The good news is that targeted nutritional support can make a real difference. Supplementing is one way to help you to feel more in control of your journey, and give you the reassurance that your male partner is doing all he can to combat these fertility-impacting lifestyle factors. Skip down, for more on this.

3. …but the right nutrients can make a big difference

New sperm is created every 74-100 days, and nutrients play a vital role during this cycle of sperm development, helping to produce cells that are healthy, mobile, and capable of fertilising an egg.

By prioritising a nutrient-rich diet and supplementing with key vitamins and minerals, your partner can see a measurable difference in just a few months. 

Proceive® Max Men contains 33 carefully selected amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Each ingredient is delivered at the optimal strength in a highly absorbable form, including:

  • CoQ10 – This is a super important enzyme that helps to fight oxidative stress. As we get older, CoQ10 levels will naturally decline, so for men over 40, this is a really important nutrient.
  • L-Carnitine – L-Carnitine has important antioxidant-like properties, protecting the sperm from oxidative damage. Studies have found that L-Carnitine can support motility and morphology.
  • L-Arginine – Arginine is the building block of spermatids, which are immature sperm cells. This makes it a key player in sperm production.

These advanced ingredients and specific formula set Proceive® apart from other fertility supplements.

4. Proceive® makes it easy for him

Proceive® Max Men isn’t just effective; it’s also convenient. 

With scientifically backed formulations, it’s one of the most advanced options available. 

Having to remember to take multiple supplements a day isn’t always convenient when life gets busy and you’re already feeling the stress of TTC. Each easy, one-a-day sachet dose contains the precise nutrients needed to support sperm production and overall male reproductive health. 

What’s more, Proceive®’s range is certified vegan (with the exception of their Omega 3 product), making it suitable for everyone.

5. You can share the load

Sometimes the weight of TTC can feel really heavy – we’ve previously written about how to support one another as partners, as well as navigating intimacy when you’re both on a fertility journey.

And while it might not seem as obvious as either of those, by encouraging your partner to take a male fertility supplement, you’re showing that you value his role in the journey just as much as your own. 

Proceive® Max Men and Proceive® Max Women – peep our write-up on their best-seller fertility supplement for women here – are designed to complement each other, ensuring both of you get the tailored support you need.

By actively contributing to the process, he’ll not only be supporting his health but also demonstrating his commitment to your shared goals, so you can tackle your TTC journey as a unit.
