ABSTRACT.
Recently, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have made a huge breakthrough, refuting the stereotype of the leading role of the "female" factor in the cause of adverse outcomes of ART. Domestic and foreign authors
have published a huge number of studies proving the equally important role of ejaculate quality in this issue. The most
common causes of idiopathic male infertility are not only inflammatory lesions of the genitourinary system, but also a deficiency of vitamins and trace elements in the diet of modern men, causing a change in the normal characteristics of the
ejaculate. Modern studies confirm that the influence of various elements, including vitamins and trace elements on the
quality of future spermatozoa, begins already in the process of spermatogenesis and requires an optimal combination.
KEYWORDS: male infertility, sperm quality, vitamins, trace elements, antibiotics, spermogram.
