There’s a complicated technical term for male infertility when it’s based on numerous underlying sperm problems: oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. It’s not only hard to remember this term, it’s even hard to pronounce!.
But while the word may look intimidating at first, it may seem a bit less so when you realize that it simply combines parts of the terms for several different subtypes of sperm problems.Let’s take a moment to break the term down so that it can be more easily understood.
The first subtype of male infertility embedded in the term is oligozoospermia, which simply means a low number or concentration density of sperm. The second subtype is asthenozoospermia, which means low sperm motility. Low sperm motility is characterized by a small percentage of sperm seen to be swimming forward under microscopic vision. The third and final subtype is teratozoospermia, which means abnormal sperm shape or, more specifically, an abnormally high percentage of sperm having an abnormal shape.
There are multiple possible causes for each subtype and, in turn, multiple possible causes for oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. The good news is that the Swimmers platform is designed to help men improve each and every subtype of sperm problems - whether it’s poor count, motility, or morphology, or a combination of these factors.

The Swimmers team of medical experts performed an extensive search of published peer-reviewed literature of studies involving the effect of various supplements on sperm quality. Most studies were eliminated due to insufficiently robust trial design. Only studies that demonstrated a statistically significant benefit were selected for a final pool of high quality ingredients based on robust medical evidence. Swimmers Antioxidant Formula uses only ingredients based on these studies. A scoring system developed by researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine to objectively grade fertility supplements according to the strength of medical evidence underlying ingredients showed that Swimmers formula had the single best score out of 18 products evaluated.
