Fundamental Man | Nutritional foundation for sperm health
Sperm support
The fertility foundation for men.
Fertility is a shared journey, and men's health deserves attention too.
Most men's fertility supplements are either generic multivitamins or overloaded formulas with long ingredient lists. Fundamental Man takes a different approach.
Built as the nutritional foundation for male preconception, it provides 19 carefully selected nutrients in thoughtfully chosen forms — without the complexity of a high-capsule routine.
- Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction; selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis
- Methylfolate (5-MTHF) provides folate in the active form used by the body
- Vitamin C, Vitamin E and selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- Formulated without unnecessary fillers

- No unnecessary fillers — just the nutrients we chose for the formula and the ingredients needed to make the capsule.
- Simple to take — 19 nutrients in one capsule a day.
- Born from our own IVF journey — created after experiencing first-hand how much of fertility preparation focuses on women, while men can feel like an afterthought.

Who is it for?
"One thing our IVF journey made very clear to me was how much of the preparation seemed to focus on the woman. My husband was taking supplements too, but figuring out what he should take — and finding the right ingredients, forms and doses — was surprisingly complicated."
I wanted to make male preconception nutrition feel just as considered. Fundamental Man is the simple, focused formula I wish we’d had when we were going through it ourselves.”
Every ingredient, explained
Fundamental Man brings together 19 carefully selected nutrients for male preconception, including zinc for normal fertility and reproduction and selenium for normal spermatogenesis. Explore the forms, doses and details worth knowing.
Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. Fundamental Man provides 6mg as zinc bisglycinate.
Zinc also contributes to normal DNA synthesis, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and has a role in the process of cell division.
Selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis — the process by which sperm are produced.
Selenium also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.
Folate has a role in the process of cell division and contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. We use 5-MTHF as our folate source rather than folic acid.
Folate also contributes to normal blood formation, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin B12 has a role in the process of cell division and contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. We use methylcobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin.
Vitamin B12 also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal red blood cell formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Fundamental Man provides 150mg choline per daily serving. Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
Choline also contributes to normal lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function.
† No Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) has been established.
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.
Vitamin C also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Riboflavin contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Riboflavin also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the maintenance of normal red blood cells.
Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Manganese also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the normal formation of connective tissue.
Zinc and copper interact nutritionally, so we considered both when formulating Fundamental Man rather than adding zinc in isolation.
Copper contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal iron transport and the maintenance of normal connective tissues.
Thiamin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Thiamin also contributes to normal psychological function and the normal function of the heart.
Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Niacin also contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Pantothenic acid contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.
Pantothenic acid also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal mental performance and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, and has a role in the process of cell division.
Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Fundamental Man provides 150µg from knotted kelp.
Iodine also contributes to normal cognitive function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
