This New Technology Can Double IVF Success

Breakthrough Israeli technology nearly doubles IVF success.

A recent article on an innovative fertility technology featured in the Jerusalem Post reveals that by simply selecting better-quality sperm, IVF success rates nearly doubled. This innovative fertility technology, developed in the lab of Natan T. Shaked, chair of Tel Aviv University’s Biomedical Engineering Department, focuses on identifying sperm with optimal genetic health. The results are groundbreaking, with pregnancy success rates jumping from 34% to 65%.

Shaked told Media Line that the findings exceeded his expectations:

“We knew sperm selection was important, but the fact that we could nearly double the success rate of IVF was surprising. This proves that sperm selection is a much more critical factor than previously believed,”

At Acubalance, we’ve been sharing this message for over two decades—since the early 2000s. It takes a healthy sperm cell and a healthy egg cell to make a healthy baby. Considering that men are responsible for 50% of infertility cases, improving sperm health is crucial for not only doubling pregnancy success rates but also ensuring the birth of a healthy baby. This new technology supports what we’ve been emphasizing all along: men need to be actively involved in the fertility journey, whether it’s leading up to IVF or trying to conceive naturally.

Sperm selection is far more critical to fertility success than previously believed. Improving sperm quality can significantly boost your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.

In most fertility journeys, the focus is almost entirely on women. Women change their diets, take an abundance of supplements, restrict coffee and alcohol, and undergo treatments like acupuncture, low-level laser therapy, naturopathic medicine, and work with coaches and healers to support their fertility. It’s all what the female partner does.

Meanwhile, the male partner often does… very little. Many men rely on a “normal” semen analysis and think that’s enough. But as this study shows, normal isn’t enough.

If simply picking better-quality sperm can nearly double IVF success, imagine what’s possible when men take proactive steps to improve their sperm quality naturally.

Here’s the good news: Sperm quality can be significantly improved through lifestyle changes and evidence-based treatments like antioxidant therapy, acupuncture, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Research shows that:

• Antioxidant supplementation (such as CoQ10, zinc, and omega-3s) can reduce oxidative stress and improve sperm DNA.

• Acupuncture and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can improve sperm motility, morphology, and energy production, giving sperm the boost they need to perform better.

We hear it all the time—women wish their partners would get more involved, but many men say things like, “I don’t believe in that stuff” or “I’m fine.”

If your partner isn’t willing to be proactive and participate with you on the fertility journey, it might be time for a courageous conversation.

No need to wait for the technology to arrive at your local IVF clinic. At Acubalance, we know that sperm matters—and now the latest technology and research is showing that the right sperm quality can double IVF success rates.

We offer a complimentary discovery call where you can learn about how we support male fertility and how our evidence-based treatments may help improve sperm quality. This call is an opportunity to find out about the services we offer and the research available. If you choose to move forward, we’ll create a personalized plan that includes guidance on supplements, diet, acupuncture, low-level laser therapy, and lifestyle changes to help his sperm reach its peak fertility potential.

We just want to highlight this again because we’ve been sharing this message for over two decades, and we haven’t seen enough men get involved in the fertility journey with the women they’re making a baby with. The men who do participate, however, often experience better success rates anecdotally. And now this research shows that by selecting better-quality sperm, success rates nearly double.

We hope this inspires and motivates men to take action—or encourages their partners to strongly nudge (or lovingly push!) them into getting involved. Improving sperm quality might mean you can avoid IVF altogether. And if IVF is necessary, your chances of success will be that much higher.
