Infertility is a global problem affecting 15% of sexually active traditional couples worldwide. Recently, male infertility has become equal in frequency to female infertility - the frequency of the "male" factor in family infertility reaches 40-50% and continues to increase. In 40-60% of cases there is a single anomaly - a pathological spermogram, and with a comprehensive objective and laboratory study of other anomalies, it is not determined. Infertility with undetected causes of impaired fertility is called unspecified or idiopathic. The use of nutraceuticals or biologically active additives, due to the active components of their composition, is a justified therapeutic approach to improving sperm and male fertility. The review discusses the influence of various components of nutraceuticals - trace elements (zinc, selenium), amino acids (L-arginine), vitamins (C, E, B8, B12, D, folic acid, L-carnitine, ubiquinone) used in the complex treatment of male infertility. All the above active components of nutraceuticals that positively affect male fertility, including vitamin D3, are part of the Virfertil® nutraceutical. Key words: male infertility, idiopathic male infertility, nutraceuticals, trace elements, vitamins, colecalciferol, amino acids, Virfertil. For citation: Makushin D.G., Belkina L.V., Trukhan D.I.
