The present invention relates to a method and a use, wherein the extract of Morinda citrifolia (noni) fruit juice is used in the field of spermatology to improve the preservation of spermatozoa. The present invention provides the use of noni extract devoid filamentous components obtained after the centrifugation or sedimentation and neutralization of fruit juice by the addition of the solution obtained to fresh, diluted or frozen/thawed semen before the storage, equilibration or freezing, or after the freezing/thawing. The noni supplement decreases the degree of membrane damage and the number of damaged spermatozoa, and results in better quality inseminating material after the freezing/thawing or during the storage of the semen, in which the number of live, motile spermatozoa with intact-membranes, is higher. |
