The Therio-gel Advantage
Most lubricants damage sperm, as shown in numerous studies, and should be avoided for optimal sperm quality and outcomes:
- Zero percent fertilization or embryo development after exposure to 10% Priority Care in a bovine in vitro fertilization model.
- A motile sperm decline of over 30% within 3 hrs of contact to "non-spermicidal" veterinary lubricants in a fresh storage setting, as well as over the 48 hrs of routine cold storage.
Therio-gel is the ONLY lubricant to not decrease stallion sperm motility during both fresh & cold storage in prospective, blind studies.
Therio-gel does not interfere with the ability of sperm to fertilize eggs, or support subsequent embryo development, even after exposure to high concentrations of 50% (v/v - bovine in vitro fertilization model).
Therio-gel was developed by a DVM, PhD, Theriogenologist with over 15 years of federal funding in sperm physiology.
Therio-gel is the only lubricant formulated with:
- A physiologic osmolality and ion concentration;
- A buffer to ensure that pH remains stable; and
- An antioxidant to protect sperm from free radical damage during handling.
