Menevit
Men would swap a beer for the chance to have a baby
New male fertility pill allows couples to do more when trying for a
baby
New research shows 86% of men aged 25-44 would like to do more to help
their partner fall pregnant and now they can with the launch of
'Menevit', a new pill specifically formulated for male fertility.
Developed right here in Australia, 'Menevit' is a unique combination of
antioxidants designed to maintain sperm health. 'Menevit' arrives at a
time when, according to new research, Australian men are more willing
than ever to make important lifestyle changes and sacrifices in order to
help their partner fall pregnant:
Just over half of Australian men would give up beer with mates
61% would give up fast food
55% would give up or cut down smoking cigarettes
Nearly 80% would do regular exercise
84% would try to eat a well balanced diet
Dr Kelton Tremellen, fertility specialist affiliated with the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynaecology/ /at the University of Adelaide/ /and
fertility clinic Repromed, said men often feel guilt over the pressure
on their partner to conceive and as a result want to do more to help.
"I often speak with men who tell me their partner is placing too much
pressure on herself to conceive their child and they want to do more to
help. One way for a man to take more responsibility, is to be more aware
of his own health and how this affects conception."
"Factors such as drinking, smoking and exposure to environmental
pollutants, can cause free radicals in the body which can damage sperm
health. 'Menevit' is thought to work by neutralising free radicals,
combining vitamin C and E, lycopene, selenium, folic acid, garlic oil
and zinc - all of which are recognised as powerful antioxidants which
have shown beneficial effects on sperm," said Dr Tremellen.
The research found that women also want men to play a bigger role in
trying for a baby with 91% of women agreeing men should take more
responsibility in pre-conception care.
Dr Anne Clark from the Fertility Society of Australia agrees, saying
'Menevit' is an important and easy way for men to take more
responsibility for their health and play a greater role in pre-pregnancy
planning.
"Up until now the onus to fall pregnant has been placed on the woman's
shoulders so it's great news that men can now do their bit and support
their partner at what can be a stressful time for couples. As part of
planning for pregnancy, changes such as limiting alcohol consumption and
quitting smoking are important for both males and females. Similar to
women taking pre-conception supplements, 'Menevit' can be considered by
couples as an important step in pre-conception care," said Dr Clark.
'Menevit' is an oral capsule taken once-daily by men for three months
pre-conception and continued as required, or as directed by a healthcare
professional. 'Menevit' will be available in pharmacies soon.
