This active component significantly improves sperm quality, which occurs as a result of an increase in the number of spermatozoa exhibiting sufficient activity. It is proved by the results of numerous scientific studies that this natural substance significantly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
All trace elements that are included in the composition of this medication are presented in the form of chelate complexes (organic compounds), which contributes to their best absorption.
