Sexual hormones including Prolactin, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrostrone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) will be measured. Protamin content and DNA integrity will be evaluated by semen analysis technique and the WHO-2010 criteria. In addition, sexual functions will be assessed using modified International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF).
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In order to balance random allocation of subjects between study groups, we will use randomized blocks with unequal sizes of 2 or 4 patients. List of all possible permutations will be prepared and then required number of them will be selected randomly. This will be done using appropriate piece of software or a valid websites.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this double blind study, similar packages will be provided for supplements and placebo; the only difference between them will be the codes written on the pack. Patients, principal investigator, residents and those involved in patients physical exam and interview will be remained blind. The only person who will be aware of the packs content, is the ward staff. She will be asked not to reveal the codes till the end of study when all required data are collected.
