Our patented formula, used to develop both Pre´TM Lubricant and Pre~Seed® Intimate Moisturizer, is unique. Traditional lubricants have been developed to decrease friction or pain during sexual intercourse. Their basic formulations can harm sperm within minutes of contact.  Pre~Seed® is the only intimate moisturizer formulated by an Andrologist, based on the physiologic requirements of sperm, so as to provide an environment that will not harm them. A quick review of our ingredients shows how our formula is unique, in using components that provide moisture, but also that ensures sperm encounter an optimal environment. This includes arabinogalactan for antioxidant support. Our formulas do also contain very low concentrations of parabens as a preservative. We are aware this has caused concern for some; however, the paraben level in our products is 25% of the minimum concentration found to interfere with sperm function in the extreme condition of direct culture in vitro (Song et al., 1989), as previously reported. Based on the IVF and embryo development studies done by Dr. Wright (using a robust bovine model) it is clear that even 50% direct contact of our formula with gametes did not interfere with fertilization or embryo development. This data assured us that the paraben level in our products is appropriate as a preservative for user protection, without harming gamete function.

Over the past decade there have been many presentations at medical meetings and some full publications on our technology, from both in house and third party investigators. These include those having to do with the beneficial role of arabinogalactan on sperm cell function, primarily through mitigation of oxidative stress damage to motility and chromatin integrity.

We are proud of the many studies we have done to confirm the unique nature of our products. These studies have allowed Pre'TM Lubricant to be the first ever with specific indications of use including fertility interventions. Such uses include:

• Semen collection using polyurethane condoms
• Embryo transfer
• Transvaginal collection of oocytes
• Intrauterine insemination
• Post coital testing
