A new study reports
that only the
formula used in
Pre~Seed®
& Pre'®
did not interfere
with fertilization
or embryo development
in an animal
model accepted by the FDA.
In contrast, other
lubricants marketed
for use by trying-to-conceive couples caused decreases in
these outcomes. This
experiment was
important because
sperm can be damaged
by exposure to
products that may
not kill them, but
may impact their
ability to fertilize
an egg and result in
embryo development.
We are very proud of
Pre-Seed®'s
recommendation in
the November 2008
Compendium of
Practice Committee
Reports, for
"Optimizing Natural
Fertility". This
report represents
best practice
guidelines which
"provides
practitioners with
suggestions for
optimizing the
likelihood of
achieving pregnancy
in couples
attempting
conception who have
no evidence of
infertility". |
Our patented formula, used
to develop both Pre´®
Lubricant and Pre~Seed®
Intimate Moisturizer, is
unique.
Traditional
lubricants have been
developed to decrease
friction or pain during
sexual intercourse.
Their basic formulations can
harm sperm within minutes of
contact.
Pre~Seed®
is the only
intimate moisturizer
formulated by an Andrologist,
based on the physiologic
requirements of sperm,
so as to provide an
environment that will not
harm them.
A quick review of our
ingredients
shows how our formula is
unique, in using components
that provide moisture, but
also that ensures sperm
encounter an optimal
environment. This includes
arabinogalactan for
antioxidant support. Our
formulas do also contain
very low concentrations of
parabens as a preservative.
We are aware this has caused
concern for some; however,
the paraben level in our
products is 25% of the
minimum concentration found
to interfere with sperm
function in the extreme
condition of direct culture
in vitro (Song et al.,
1989), as previously
reported. Based on the IVF
and embryo development
studies done by
Dr. Wright
(using a robust bovine
model) it is clear that even
50% direct contact of
our formula with gametes did
not interfere with
fertilization or embryo
development. This data
assured us that the paraben
level in our products is
appropriate as a
preservative for
user
protection, without harming
gamete function.
Over the past decade there
have been many
presentations at medical
meetings
and some
full publications
on our technology, from both
in house and third party
investigators. These include
those having to do with the
beneficial role of
arabinogalactan on sperm
cell function, primarily
through mitigation of
oxidative stress damage to
motility and chromatin
integrity.
We are proud of the many
studies we have done to
confirm the unique nature of
our products. These studies
have allowed Pre'®
Lubricant to be the first
ever with specific
indications of use including
fertility interventions.
Such uses include:
• Semen collection using
polyurethane condoms
• Embryo transfer
• Transvaginal
collection of oocytes
• Intrauterine
insemination
• Post coital testing
