The MyDNA Fertility Report – Male is a personalised genetic and nutritional assessment designed to help identify factors that may influence male fertility and reproductive health. The report looks at how your genes, nutrient status and environmental exposures may affect sperm health, hormone balance and overall fertility outcomes.
 
Male fertility can be influenced by many factors including nutrition, stress, lifestyle, environmental toxin exposure, inflammation and genetics. This report helps provide a more individualised understanding of areas that may benefit from additional support to optimise reproductive health.
 
The test analyses genetic variations involved in:
Sperm production and development
Sperm motility and morphology
DNA integrity and oxidative stress protection
Hormone balance
Detoxification pathways
Nutrient metabolism and antioxidant defence
 
Key genes assessed include:
MTHFR 677
SOD2
CAT
GPX1
NRF2
GST
SHBG
 
These genes may influence how efficiently your body:
Protects sperm from oxidative stress and DNA damage
Processes folate and B vitamins
Supports detoxification pathways
Regulates hormones and testosterone balance
Supports healthy sperm production and function
 
The report also reviews important nutrients linked to male fertility, including:
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Vitamin B12
Folate
Zinc
Vitamin D
Selenium
Omega 3 fatty acids
L-Carnitine
Coenzyme Q10
Arginine
Glutathione
N-Acetylcysteine
Lycopene
 
These nutrients play important roles in sperm quality, antioxidant protection, energy production and reproductive health.
 
Environmental factors that may negatively affect sperm health are also assessed, including exposure to:
Pesticides and herbicides
Heavy metals
Phthalates
Bisphenol A (BPA)
Electromagnetic fields
Heat exposure
Radiation
 
These exposures may contribute to reduced sperm count, lower motility, increased oxidative stress and DNA damage.
 
Analytes included in the report include:
Antioxidants
Amino acids
Arginine
Bisphenol A
Coenzyme Q10
Electromagnetic fields
Folate
Glutathione
Heat exposure
Heavy metals
Inflammation markers
L-Carnitine
Lycopene
N-Acetylcysteine
Omega 3 fatty acids
Oxidative stress markers
Phthalates
Radiation
Selenium
Vitamin B12 and folate
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Zinc
 
The information from this report can help guide personalised nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle strategies to support sperm health, hormone balance and overall fertility outcomes.
