AAKG (L-Arginine-alpha-ketoglucorate) / AAKG, Composition:

One tablet contains:
AAKG – 3500 mg.

Properties:

The revolutionary combination of L-Arginine and Alpha-ketoglucorate greatly increases nitric oxide levels, much stronger than regular arginine and therefore has a more powerful effect on cardiovascular diseases, immune system weakness, erectile dysfunction, and muscle growth.

Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid, which is not only part of proteins, but is also an important regulatory molecule that:
– participates in the cycle of urea formation in the liver, helping the body get rid of excess toxic ammonium;
– stimulates the pituitary gland’s production of human growth hormone (HGH), inhibiting the hypothalamus’ synthesis of the neurohormone Somatostatin, an inhibitor of the production of human growth hormone. This is very important, since it is human growth hormone in childhood and adolescence that ensures the growth and development of the body, and in adulthood, growth hormone supports all vital functions and prevents the aging process;
– Serves as a precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is formed from the nitrogen atom donated by arginine.
and an oxygen atom by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide activates the work of the most important intracellular enzyme guanylate cyclase, which ensures the synthesis of one of the secondary transmitters - cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Thanks to this, nitric oxide serves as one of the universal regulators
metabolism.

In 1998, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to three American scientists: F. Murad, R. Furchgott, L. Ignarro for establishing the role of nitric oxide in the functioning of the cardiovascular system. It is nitric oxide that causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the vascular walls and inhibits platelet aggregation and their adhesion. Therefore, Arginine has hypotensive, antispasmodic and antithrombotic effects. Thanks to this, arginine is considered the most powerful amino acid in cardiology all over the world.

In addition, nitric oxide: – is necessary for the normal functioning of the central and autonomic nervous system;
– regulates the activity of the respiratory organs, gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary system;
– provides the cytotoxic activity of cellular immunity, protecting the body from malignant neoplasms and intracellular infections.
Since nitric oxide is related to almost all metabolic and physiological processes, the enormous interest of doctors in arginine becomes understandable.

Arginine is a representative of the first generation of natural substances that stimulate the production of nitric oxide. Subsequently, the work of scientists focused on the search for natural substances that more powerfully stimulate the synthesis of nitric oxide. The long search was crowned with success. A revolutionary formula was found (a combination of arginine and AAKG alpha-ketoglucorate) that greatly increased nitrogen levels compared to arginine.

This dietary supplement immediately aroused great interest in the sports market.
It turned out that taking Arginine alpha-ketoglucorate before training significantly increases muscle growth, muscle strength and athletic endurance, since it increases the level of nitric oxide and thereby improves blood supply to the muscles, the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to them. As a result, muscles grow surprisingly quickly. In addition, the content of lactic acid and ammonia in the muscles, which cause muscle fatigue, is reduced. An important role in muscle growth is played by the fact that, against the background of physical activity, Arginine-alpha-ketoglucorate stimulates the synthesis of human growth hormone - the main anabolic hormone of the human body. Taking Arginine-alpha-ketoglucorate, much more intensely than arginine, relaxes spasmodic blood vessels, reduces the tendency of the blood to form blood clots, and optimizes the functioning of the immune system.

Arginine alpha-ketoglucorate significantly stimulates potency in men and the feeling of orgasm in both sexes. This happens because nitric oxide promotes the activation of the sexual center in the hypothalamus and from it more powerful signals go down to the genitals. As a result of these signals, the genital organs are filled with blood due to the activation of the production of nitric oxide in their arteries, the synthesis of which is enhanced by Arginine-alpha-ketoglucorate. Due to a more powerful stimulation of nitric oxide production, Arginine alpha-ketoglucorate is more effective than arginine in intensifying spermatogenesis. Recommendations for use: 3 tablets of Arginine alpha-ketoglucorate (AAKG) 2 times a day an hour before meals and exercise. It is not recommended to take it in this mode for more than 60 days.
Contraindications: Arginine alpha-ketoglucorate is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women, with schizophrenia, with active manifestations of the herpes virus disease (simplex, genital herpes).

A new way to stimulate spermatogenesis. Scientists have proposed making local injections of bioactive molecules responsible for the growth, survival and differentiation of cells involved in the process of spermatogenesis. The combined use of these substances will increase the effectiveness of stimulating the production of male germ cells. The development can be used in the treatment of male infertility.

Spermatogenesis disorders are one of the main causes of male infertility. As scientists note, in terms of severity and adverse social consequences, the World Health Organization (WHO) placed the problem of male infertility immediately after the problems of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Employees of the Medical Research and Educational Center of Moscow State University and the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine of Moscow State University have developed a drug that contains a mixture of collagen and bioactive products of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs). This biomaterial is injected under the tunica albuginea of ​​the testicle. Injections affect different cells of the spermatogenic niche. The result is achieved thanks to the complex effect of growth factors and other biologically active molecules contained in the biomaterial.

“For the first time, a biomaterial has been developed with a complex effect on various components of spermatogenesis, including directly spermatogonial stem cells and cells that support spermatogenesis. With just one minimally invasive local injection into the testicular tissue, it is possible to achieve a long-term positive therapeutic effect,” commented Anastasia Efimenko, senior researcher at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine, Moscow State University Research Center.

When treating diseases of the male reproductive system, as a rule, only the symptoms are eliminated, which does not completely solve the problem. There are more effective treatments. Among them are transplantation of donor genital organs and transplantation of certain cells. However, these techniques have disadvantages: short-term and incomplete effect, difficult to obtain donor material or high complexity of operations. Unlike existing methods, the invention of MSU scientists is safe and relatively easy to use.

“If successful results of preclinical and clinical studies are obtained, proving the safety and effectiveness of using the developed biomaterial to stimulate spermatogenesis, it can become a fundamentally new way to treat non-obstructive forms of male infertility. Considering that the contribution of spermatogenesis disorders in men as a cause of infertility in couples already reaches 50%, and existing treatment methods are ineffective and often associated with serious side effects, a new treatment method will be in great demand,” added Anastasia Efimenko.

Infertility and problematic long-term attempts to conceive are testing the strength of many married couples. Men and women, wanting to become parents in the foreseeable future, are storming medical centers and laboratories and undergoing comprehensive examinations. It often turns out that conception does not occur through the fault of the man, namely due to the insufficient fertility of his sperm. In order to improve the activity or speed of sperm movement, stimulation of spermatogenesis is necessary. How to improve the quality of sperm and increase its fertility will be discussed in this article.

It's all about nutrition

Proper nutrition is the basis of health, a full life and longevity. This postulate is well known to everyone. But not everyone knows that certain products can stimulate and increase or, conversely, worsen spermatogenesis.

The physiology of a man is designed in such a way that the full cycle of maturation of male germ cells, or spermatogenesis, occurs in the testicles within 3 months. The gradual division of the precursor cell leads to the formation of the known cells with a flagellum, capable of translational movements. Now it becomes clear that products consumed during this 3-month development cycle can both increase the motility and activity of sperm, increase their nominal number during ejaculation, and act on these indicators in the opposite direction.

Let's look at the products and the substances and vitamins they contain that are useful for stimulating spermatogenesis. To improve sperm quality, doctors recommend:

1. All products containing vitamin C. This biologically active substance is known as the strongest antioxidant. Vitamin C prevents the excessive formation of free oxygen radicals, which negatively affect spermatogenesis. When the body is sufficiently enriched with this substance, the process of cell division occurs much more actively and correctly. Foods rich in vitamin C are citrus fruits and cabbage.
2. The microelement zinc is actively involved in improving and stimulating spermatogenesis, optimizing cell division and increasing the speed of forward movement of sperm. Products such as beef, bran, and sesame seeds are involved in stimulating the division of progenitor cells.
3. Regular consumption of peanuts increases the level of unsaturated fatty acids in the blood, which has a positive effect on the level of the male sex hormone testosterone. It is testosterone that is involved in the activation and improvement of spermatogenesis.
4. Folic acid (vitamin B9), when consumed regularly, can improve the quality of spermatogenesis. A sufficient amount of this substance in the body guarantees the absence of damaged genetic material in male reproductive cells, which has a positive effect on the heredity of the unborn child. Liver, yeast, bread, pumpkin seeds are traditionally rich in folic acid, used to stimulate spermatogenesis and are known to improve potency.

To improve spermatogenesis you need to eat right.

In order for a man to release truly fertile seminal fluid during ejaculation, the listed foods and their components must be eaten at least 3-4 times a week. It is this frequency that helps stimulate spermatogenesis and helps increase the fertility of the ejaculate.

What will you find at the pharmacy?

In the retail pharmacy chain there are currently many drugs in tablets and capsules to stimulate spermatogenesis. They are sold without a prescription and, according to the instructions, cause an increase in the number of active sperm and increase the speed of their forward movement. These properties make it possible to increase the likelihood of rapid conception. Let's look at the most popular drugs with the properties described above:

• Spermstrong is a dietary supplement. A positive effect on the quality of ejaculate is achieved due to the special composition of the drug. 1 capsule contains arginine, L-carnitine, vitamins C, E, B6, as well as zinc, selenium and manganese. In addition to improving the quality of sperm during ejaculation, the manufacturer reports a positive effect of the drug on libido, as well as a general strengthening effect on the body. It is recommended to take 2 times a day in courses.
• Sachet with water-soluble powder called Spermplant. The medicine contains fructose, L-carnitine, citric acid, taurine, nettle extract and arginine. These substances, which cause an improvement in sperm fertility during ejaculation, are approved for use by almost everyone. The exception is cases of individual intolerance. Dosage regimen: 1 sachet per day. The minimum course of treatment is 1 month. If necessary, the drug can be repeated after a 10-15 day break.
• The drug Prostatinol has proven itself to improve sperm quality in prostate diseases. It is especially effective in chronic inflammatory processes leading to infertility. Such properties are determined by the pumpkin seed extract, sabal palm fruit extract, alanine, glutamine, glycine, and ginseng extract contained in the composition. An important feature is that the drug prevents premature ejaculation. The recommended frequency of administration is 1 capsule 2 times a day.
• The Doppelgerz Spermactiv complex optimizes erectile function, improves the ejaculation process, and also stimulates spermatogenesis. The preparations contain microelements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, silicon, and selenium. Contains vitamins: B12, C, B2, B1, D3, folic acid. You need to take 1 tablet 1 time per day. The course of treatment is 1 month.
• The drug Ecostimulin contains the hormone chorionic gonadotropin, produced first by the corpus luteum and then by the placenta during pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin is known in medicine for its spermatogenesis-stimulating properties. Taking this medication is contraindicated if a man has hormone-dependent tumors and cryptorchidism. The dosage regimen is determined individually by the attending physician.

There are many drugs to stimulate spermatogenesis.

Despite the fact that almost all of the drugs described can be purchased independently at a pharmacy without a prescription, a preliminary consultation with a urologist-andrologist would be correct. The doctor will determine the optimal medications and the correct regimen for taking them.

Additional Methods

In situations where a man strictly complied with the doctor’s requirements, including eating right, giving up alcohol and nicotine, taking prescribed dietary supplements, but stimulation turned out to be ineffective and there was no improvement in the properties of sperm, the doctor may recommend hospitalization in a hospital. This is necessary for a more thorough examination and treatment. It is possible to prescribe medications for stimulation in injection or drop form.

Physiotherapeutic methods, namely laser effects on the male genital organs, have proven themselves to be good for stimulating spermatogenesis. The laser has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gonads, participates in stimulating the production of full-fledged and active sperm, and also helps increase their number.

Improving the properties of sperm is not an easy task, but in most cases it is quite a feasible task. You need to take a responsible approach to your diet, lifestyle, and also follow your doctor’s prescriptions. This helps to improve the activity of male reproductive cells, which increases the likelihood of quick conception.

Stimulation of spermatogenesis is used in cases where it is necessary to temporarily improve sperm parameters. This need arises when conceiving naturally or when using assisted reproductive technologies. The method is indicated only for those men who have been diagnosed with various types of pathospermia that do not provide the opportunity to have children.

How is spermatogenesis stimulated?

You can improve your sperm count with the help of special medications, as well as by following certain recommendations. Drug support includes the prescription of vitamins and microelements that play an important role in the processes of spermatogenesis. Among them are the following:

• Folic acid.
• Zinc.
• L-carnitine.
• Selenium.
• Vitamin E.
• Glutathione.

If ejaculate parameters have worsened due to concomitant diseases, then specific therapy is prescribed. For example, to eliminate sexually transmitted infections, antibiotics are prescribed, and hormonal imbalances are corrected with the help of appropriate medications.

• Rejection of bad habits.
• Get enough sleep.
• Regular physical activity.
• Avoiding hypothermia or overheating of the body.
• Proper nutrition.
• Normalization of body weight.
• Eliminate stress.

To achieve these tasks, other specialists may be involved, for example, a nutritionist, a psychologist.

The process of sperm formation - male germ cells are called spermatogenesis and take place in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles.

Spermatogenesis first begins at the age of 12-13 years and then continues continuously throughout a man’s life. It takes the male body approximately 60 hours to form a new sperm. The full cycle of sperm production is about 75 days.

For spermatogenesis and sperm maturation, androgens are needed - male sex hormones. Androgens also act as a controller of the growth and functioning of the prostate and seminal vesicles. At the same time, normal testosterone levels are a necessary condition for spermatogenesis, normal libido and male sexual potency.

In case of spermatogenesis disorders, its stimulation is used.

There are various methods of stimulation - treatment of spermatogenesis disorders. Nonspecific stimulation methods are used in cases of postoperative recovery, hormonal disorders, decreased sperm count, etc.

Nonspecific methods of stimulating spermatogenesis in men include the following.

1. Complete exclusion from drinking alcoholic beverages. You can only drink dry red wine a little and very rarely. Alcohol is known to damage spermatogenic cells, affecting the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, thereby causing severe disorders of spermatogenesis. Statistics say that 80% of male alcoholics are simply sterile. Moreover, the degree of impairment of spermatogenesis is directly related to the amount of alcohol consumed: only about 30% of men with a daily dose of 80-160 g maintain normal spermatogenesis.
2. To give up smoking. The sperm sensitive to nicotine becomes inactive and immobile. The secretion of testosterone by the testicle in smokers is greatly reduced. Severe disorders of spermatogenesis also occur due to systematic drug use.
3. Reception of bee products. This method is the strongest biostimulator of spermatogenesis and the male immune system. Useful beekeeping products include: larval drone jelly, royal jelly, beebread, honey, bee venom (the latter method is carried out exclusively under the supervision of a doctor).
4. Herbal medicine and homeopathy. Especially useful are ginseng root.
5. Taking sports supplements. They contain the amino acids L-Carnitine (LC) and G-factor necessary for spermatogenesis.
6. Hyperbaric chambers. This treatment is an excellent prevention - it relieves fatigue, normalizes sleep, improves mood and sperm quality. The course of treatment is 10 sessions of 30-60 minutes.
7. Avoiding overheating and tight underwear.
8. Healthy food: chicken breast, rabbit meat, veal, seafood, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruits, nuts, sour cream, cottage cheese, kefir, quail eggs, freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices.
9. Active physical activity.
10. Vitamin therapy.
