Quick Summary
In this randomized controlled trial, supplementation with date palm pollen improved sperm quality parameters more than pentoxifylline (a drug sometimes used to treat male infertility). However, the dose of pentoxifylline used was likely inadequate.

(date palm) pollen, compared to pentoxifylline (a drug sometimes used to treat male infertility), on sperm quality parameters (semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count, sperm morphology, total motility, progressive motility, nonprogressive motility, and motility) in the context of male infertility.
