DNA fragmentation supplement advice. Could supplements be doing more harm than good?

Hey everyone hope you are well.

Dh got his semen results at normal but then test revealed high DNA fragmentation. 42%. We don’t have time\money/willing to see a urologist but we are going to arrange some tests for infection. I do believe that abstinence period could be a big thing here… part of the game plan is going to be to increase frequency for him.

I am concerned he is not taking the right supplements or they could be doing more harm than good. Should we switch to impryl or proxseed? I have seen on here some instances these have made it worse. I hate making it up as I go along but sadly a lot of the time this situation leaves us no choice. Any advice appreciated <3

He is currently taking:

L’carnitine- 1000mg (label pictured is confusing - he only takes one capsule )

Alpha lipoic acid - 500mg

Vit D - 4,000 IU

COQ10 - Ubiquinone, 300mg

(folic actin) methylfolate 400 mcg

vitamin c 1000 mg (with 15 mg zinc and iron and 1mg copper)

vitamin b complex

vitamin e - 200iu

Proxeed plus worked really well for us- it wasnt for fragmentation but it worked really well for morphology/motility and count
