There's alot more to male fertility. This depends on what the issue is. If you're talking about sperm that is abnormal in shape, there really isn't any medications or supplements that will help improve this. The sperm count and motility can improve a bit just by changing lifestyle habits. Alcohol, smoking and drugs should be eliminated, and even then the improvement may be small. You can try taking anti-oxidants, Vitamin E 800 units and Vitamin C 1000mg, this sometimes help. But then there are problems like varicocele. Best place to start is with a Urologist. They are considered the fertility docs to some extent. He then might refer you to a fertility specialist.
