The Effect of Lycopene on Sperm Quality in Men Attending Fertility Clinic

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether lycopene (an antioxidant found in cooked tomatoes) will improve the number of swimming sperm in the ejaculates of men with low total motile sperm count. Participants will take either lycopene capsules or identical capsules containing no lycopene for 12 weeks. We will analyse the quality of their semen before and after taking the capsules, and compare the results. Hypothesis: Supplementation with lycopene will improve testicular function (semen quality) in males with low total motile sperm count (TMSC).
