Better sperm, longer life?
We don’t often link sperm with longevity but new research might just change that.
A groundbreaking study tracking nearly 80,000 men over 50 years found something remarkable:
Men with higher-quality sperm - specifically over 120 million motile sperm per ejaculate - lived on average 2.7 years longer than those with lower counts.
Let that sink in. Sperm quality isn’t just about fertility, it may be a mirror reflecting your whole-body health.
“Semen is like a barometer for what’s going on inside,” says Dr. Anand Patel, OVA's Medical Advisor. “It’s influenced by everything from oxidative stress to diet, sleep, and exercise. When we see poor sperm quality, it’s often a sign the rest of the body needs attention too.”
So what does this mean?
For starters, your swimmers might be swimming ahead of your biological clock. Research increasingly shows that reproductive health is deeply linked to metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and even longevity.
The big takeaway?
Taking care of your sperm isn’t just about making a baby, it’s an act of long-term self-care.
“Improving sperm health isn’t about quick fixes,it’s about sustainable, healthy habits. A nutrient-rich diet, movement, stress management, quality sleep, and the right supplements can not only support fertility, but may help extend healthspan," says Dr Anand.
How to show up for your future:
-
Eat the rainbow: Antioxidants like Vitamin C, selenium, and zinc play a major role in protecting sperm from damage.
-
Move more: Regular exercise improves testosterone levels and circulation.
-
Cut back on ultra-processed foods & alcohol
-
Consider targeted vitamins: Nutrients like CoQ10, omega-3s, and L-carnitine have been shown to support sperm motility and morphology.
-
Stress less: Cortisol impacts testosterone and long-term stress can lower sperm count.
That’s exactly why we created OVAHim Advanced Sperm Support. It’s a next-gen formula made to optimise male fertility and reproductive health from the inside out.
Formulated with evidence-backed nutrients like CoQ10, zinc, selenium, L-carnitine, and more, OVAHim is designed to support:
-
Sperm motility & count
-
DNA integrity
-
Testosterone & energy
-
Oxidative stress reduction
We built OVAHim to give men clinically meaningful doses of the nutrients proven to support fertility and long-term health. Because sperm health is just the start.
