INTRODUCTION
CARNI Q TABLET is a combination of Astaxanthin, Coenzyme Q, L-Carnitine Fumarate, Lycopene and Zinc Ascorbate which belongs to the group of medicines called Keto-carotenoids, Antioxidants, Non-provitamin A carotenoid pigments and Minerals respectively. It is used in adults to treat male infertility (inability of a man to make a fertile female pregnant, also for a minimum of one year of unprotected intercourse).
Astaxanthin is a Keto-carotenoid that significantly decreases ROS (a damaging molecule) production and has positive effects on male fertility by increasing sperm concentration and linear speed. Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant present in the membrane of almost every body cell and is required for energy production. L-carnitine is also an antioxidant that may protect sperm plasma membrane and also increases sperm motility by changing in fatty acid metabolism. Lycopene is a non-provitamin A carotenoid pigment that have shown promising results in alleviating male infertility by reducing lipid peroxidation and DNA damage, while increasing sperm count, viability and general immunity. Zinc ascorbate is a mineral that helps in improving the sperm quality.
