Study Reports Pre~Seed® and Pré® Formula is the Only Fertility Lubricant That Doesn’t Interfere with Embryo Development
Last week at the American Society of Andrology Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, a new study reported that in vitro fertilization and embryo development in an animal model, were decreased following exposure of sperm to most lubricants specifically developed for trying to conceive couples. These studies found that only the FDA cleared (“approved”) formula used in Pre~Seed® and Pré® did not interfere with fertilization or development of cattle embryos over a week of culture. Specifically, Dr. Ray Wright of Washington State University - a previous human Embryologist, incubated bull sperm with 10% concentrations of four different lubricants marketed to not harm sperm or interfere with fertility. These lubricants included: Pré® Lubricant (also available as Pre~Seed®); PRE Conceive plus™; ConceiveEase™; and the Australian product FertilityCare™.
