Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols) has been studied for its role in supporting testicular health and function, primarily due to its antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress is known to negatively impact spermatogenesis and testosterone synthesis in the testes. Several animal studies have demonstrated that vitamin E supplementation can protect testicular tissue from oxidative damage, improve sperm quality, and support steroidogenesis. In humans, some small studies have indicated that vitamin E, often in combination with other antioxidants (such as vitamin C or selenium), can improve certain parameters of male fertility such as sperm motility and morphology, especially in men with infertility related to oxidative stress.
However, the overall quality of human evidence is limited, with mixed results and a lack of large, well-controlled clinical trials. Vitamin E deficiency is rare but is associated with impaired testicular function in animal models. Thus, while there is a scientific rationale for its use and some supporting data, the evidence is not robust or universally accepted. The use is mainly justified by its general antioxidant activity rather than direct, conclusive evidence of significant benefits for the testes in healthy human populations.
