Efficacy of combined antioxidant therapy in male subfertility-A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Antioxidant therapy is a potentially promising approach to improve clinical outcomes for couples undergoing assisted reproduction techniques long-term. The review aims to (a) collate evidence for the effectiveness of combined oral antioxidant supplementation, including a head-to-head comparison in the treatment of male subfertility, and (b) investigate whether other intervention features, including duration, specific combinations, or dosage affect clinical outcomes in this population. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the effectiveness of combined antioxidants on male subfertility, electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PSYCHINFO, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched.
