Legacy Review: Your Fertility Health, Your Future Legacy

About Legacy

Mainstream media often places the spotlight on women for their “ticking biological clocks” as they near their 30’s and beyond. But gentleman, did you know that your sperm has a cycle, too?

While it is known medical knowledge that a man can reproduce very late into their life compared to their female counterparts, what is often not emphasized is the importance of men’s sperm vitality in the form of sperm count and integrity—and how than is threatened more than ever before.

Within the last 50 years, sperm count has decreased by over 50% worldwide.

With infertility affecting 1 out of 6 couples, how could this prevalence be so high?

While we are all so unique, there are common issues that have increased within the last few decades that your grandfather may not have dealt with:

• Rising levels of cortisol due to social, economic stressors
• Environmental toxins (think: mass-production of agriculture relying on pesticides that alter your hormonal levels in a subtle, yet massive way, as well as paints, cleaning supplies)
• Obesity
• Alcohol use
• Smoking
• And the list continues…

In other words, it’s likely prime time that you hold your sperm’s health in serious reverence. How? With Legacy.

The nation’s largest at-home sperm testing company with the focus to support your sperm health, offering semen analysis, long-term cryostorage, supplemental support for your sperm, and even STI testing.

Is Legacy your answer to improving your sperm health? Let’s find out.

Story of Legacy

CEO, Khalid Kteily, a former healthcare consultant in Toronto with a Harvard-trained background in healthcare and public policy, noticed a massive need to support his fellow brethren seeking not only education, but deep-rooted guidance on their personal reproductive health—offering a variety of proactive solutions and supplemental support.

He is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility & Andrology Society.

Legacy’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ramy Abou Ghayda, board-certified Urologist, plays a vital role at Legacy overseeing clinical research and is at the forefront of current medical innovations in the field of men’s reproductive health to ensure quality, update medical testing practices in all of Legacy’s product offerings.

Legacy + Harvard Experts

Kteily knew early on that Legacy’s team must extend beyond just a few souls. Their entire team is composed of an intellectually beaming group of Harvard-backed experts who value—and advocate—the importance of proactiveness in parenthood.

Why proactive? Legacy understands that the realm of fertility today is ever-changing, more challenging than ever before, and often a grossly underdiscussed topic amongst the world of men. Legacy’s motto shares that “Parenthood starts with you—and your fertility.

Why not get proactive? But how? Legacy is founded upon a professional advisory board with a combined 100+ years of fertility health knowledge and research.

They offer 3 main product types:

• Test
• Improve
• Freeze

Need a combination of both or all three? Legacy offers three unique plans:

• For Today Bundle
• For Tomorrow Bundle
• Forever Bundle

Whether you are undergoing fertility treatment, a medical procedure (vasectomy or even gender affirmation), or merely trying to conceive and want to make sure you’re doing your part in the process, Legacy has got all of your needs met.

Let’s discuss all the options to examine how best to support your needs—bringing the clinic to you, at home.

Legacy Bundles Review

Legacy realizes that your needs are specific to where you are in life and how far out you may be planning to start a family—even if it’s merely a passing thought. Legacy offers three unique bundles, each with the option to add on cryofreeze (a way to freeze your sperm, maintaining the molecular integrity whilst erasing the sense of “time”).

Each bundle offers FREE overnight shipping to send your sample back to the Legacy lab. Want your results in real-time? Legacy has created a state-of-the-art app that connects your lab results to the convenience of your phone—simply scan the QR code that is within the shipping box to register your bundle box.

Legacy For Today Review

For Today bundle offers a single semen analysis test that examines vital metrics on sperm health including volume of sperm, motility, morphology (size and shape of the sperm itself), and more. But Legacy goes above and beyond.

They also include a post-thaw analysis where a portion of the sperm sample is frozen and then thawed to ensure that your sperm is viable for cryofreeze. Why waste money on a service if your sperm are unable to maintain integrity after years of freezing, right? Makes sense. Receiving 4.9/5 stars from verified customers, invest $295 into this bundle to give your sperm some truly vested attention. ⁽²⁾

Who is this ideal for?

For Today bundle is ideal for any man considering on having a family, wanting to improve your fertility (you cannot know your baseline until you, well, test your baseline).

It is ideal for those wanting to freeze your sperm, or even for those who have had a vasectomy and want to ensure there’s no sperm left in your semen. For those undergoing vasectomy reversal and want to test for sperm quality, this is also for you! ⁽²⁾

What’s Included?

• A sterile cup to collect your semen sample
• A Legacy “vault” – a Styrofoam encasement that ensures safe transport of your sample
• Transport media – a fluid to keep your sample fresh and unspoiled
• Tamper-proof strip to encloses your box to keep your sample yours

Legacy For Tomorrow Review

For Tomorrow Bundle provides a more future-thinking approach for fertility wellness and long-term preparedness. Utilizing the same semen analysis metrics as in the For Today Bundle, what makes For Tomorrow Bundle unique are the 2 semen analysis kits included, 5 years of cryofreeze sperm storage, and STI testing.

With results ready in 48-hours on the Legacy app, this bundle of $995 will not only help you in the present but prepare for a lifelong legacy as you ready for parenthood later in life.

You will receive FREE overnight shipping of your sample back to the Legacy lab with all cryostorage samples stored at two different locations in the event of natural or man-made destruction occurs at one geographical location. ⁽³⁾

Who is this ideal for?

Unique to this For Tomorrow Bundle are the 2 semen analysis samples. Why two? If you’re someone undergoing fertility treatment, it is always a wise medical practice to have a second sample stored that is viable.

This helps to have a sample whenever you and your partner undergo IVF (in vitro fertilization)—even if you are not there the day of to provide a fresh sample. Legacy is about the long-run and being proactive for every situation you may encounter. ⁽³⁾

What’s included?

• 2 semen analysis samples
• 1 STI kit
• 5 yeas of cryostorage for 8 total vials with multi-site storage

Legacy Forever Review

Legacy’s most coveted, sure-proof bundle, the Forever Bundle provides you with the maximum assurance that your sperm is not only tested using the quality semen metrics discussed in the Today and For Tomorrow Bundles, but stored with ample quantity.

Unique to this bundle includes 3 semen analyses (12 vials total), lifetime storage, and DNA analysis for fragmentation (a commonplace within the biological cycle of sperm as men age). For $3,995, invest in intentional preparedness now for less stress later.⁽⁴⁾

Who is this ideal for?

For those men out there seeking a vasectomy, although is it possible to have the procedure reversed in matters change later in life, reversal is costly and may not always be successful.

Why not store three samples at secure multi-site locations without the medical gamble of reversal?

Forward thinking at its finest.

Forever Bundle is also ideal for those planning/undergoing gender-affirming surgery as hormone replacement therapy often reduces or prevents all forms of sperm production. While discontinuation of hormone therapy may “reset” sperm production once more, in a third of cases, this does not happen. ⁽⁴⁾

What’s included?

• 3 semen analysis kits
• 1 DNA fragmentation analysis
• 1 STI testing kit
• 50 years of frozen sperm storage (stores 12 vials)

Legacy Male Prenatal Bundle Review

To test is one component of semen health and fertility preparedness, but what about preventative measures?

While Legacy offers two unique supplement lines (see “Supplements” section below), Legacy’s Male Prenatal Bundle offers a single-time, baseline semen analysis and a 3-month supply of male prenatal vitamin.

This bundle feature offers the option for cryostorage, as well. For only $470, you can take the clinic to your home and get a medically supported, researched-test analysis on your sperm to give you the peace of mind when starting your family.

Who is this ideal for?

Best for any man trying to conceive with his partner. A semen analysis is ideal to know what you are working with, plus with the added benefit of proactive supplementation, you are well on your way to healthy, effective fertility to carry on your legacy.

Legacy Testing Review

For Today Semen Analysis is the same as the For Today Bundle with the added option to include DNA fragmentation analysis. You still have the option to add on a sperm freezing plan if you so wish (yearly, 5-year, 10-year options). All for the cost of $295, you have peace of mind knowing where you stand in your sperm health.

+ DNA Fragmentation Analysis

For Today Semen Analysis offers to option to add on DNA fragmentation testing. Why test for DNA fragmentation, you ask? Excellent question!

DNA fragmentation is the misalignment of—and mismatching of—nucleotides (the basic components that make DNA which tell your sperm how to function) caused by free radicals, environmental toxins, smoking, extreme heat exposure, and the list goes on. ⁽⁵⁾

If the DNA cannot be properly made, your sperm can suffer in a massive way from overall functionality to total ineffective fusion with an egg. ⁽⁵⁾  Important? We think so, too.

Why not start your sperm healthy journey now prior to conception? Smart choice, men.

Legacy Male Fertility Supplement Review

Legacy’s Male Fertility Supplement  contains a potent conglomeration of purely sourced vitamins and minerals to ensure your sperm reaches optimum health.

Legacy’s Male Fertility Supplement comes in a 3-month supply, best taken prior to trying to conceive.

For only $195 per order, gain the assurance that you are supporting your health needs proactively.

What’s Inside?

• Coenzyme Q10, 300mg
• Vitamin C, 250mg
• Vitamin D, 35mg (1400 IU)
• Vitamin E, 100mg (121 IU)
• Folate (5-MTHF), 1mg DFE
• Zinc, 30mg
• Selenium, 70mcg
• L-carnitine, 200mg
• D-aspartic acid, 50mg
• Lycopene, 5mg

Of the ingredients mentioned above, one of the most notable key ingredients is coenzyme Q10 (see functionality in the CoQ10 Fertility Supplement below). Just as vital in this formulation is folate.

Like the “ticking clock” metaphor when it comes to fertility for woman, often folate is thought to be vital for women only. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

For men, folate is necessary not only for proper DNA production, but also for the integrity  and functionality of sperm itself. In one study, results even suggested sperm count decreased over the course of lifelong folate deficiency. ⁽⁷⁾

Another honorable mention in the Male Fertility Supplement lineup is zinc, a trace element required to be consumed every day as it cannot be stored intracellularly in the body. ⁽⁸⁾ The role of zinc in male reproductive health seems nearly limitless.

When it comes to the effect on sperm, apart from its natural spermatogenesis properties as a whole, zinc has a natural antioxidant property within the seminal fluid that lessens the harmful effects on free radicals that may be present due to environmental pollutants and smoking.

Even more, zinc has been suggested to protect the inner lining of the male reproductive organs; offering an antibacterial effect that keeps tissues infection and inflammation-free. Have a new-founded appreciation for all things zinc? We sure do! ⁽⁸⁾

Legacy CoQ10 Fertility Supplement Review

Legacy’s best seller, CoQ10 Fertility Supplement is the mecca of all things antioxidant. Packaged in a gelatin-free soft capsule, take 2-3 softgels per day for optimum results.

For a 2-month supply (that’s if you take 3 softgels per day), spend only $75 to completely revamp your sperm health.

What’s so special about CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (abbreviated CoQ10) is a vital protein that resides within the powerhouse of the cell (aka: the mitochondria) that ensures not only proper energy production but metabolism as a whole. What does this have to do with sperm. Well, everything.

Numerous studies have shown that CoQ10 not only acts as a potent antioxidant to protect sperm in seminal fluid but plays a vital role in the ability of sperm’s motility as well as overall concentration levels when take around levels of 400mg/day compared to those taking only 200mg/day. ⁽⁹⁾  

Legacy’s teams of medical professionals certainly know the importance of sperm health, integrating vital supplements into their proactive lines.

Legacy Reviews – What Are Customers Saying?

What about men that have gone before you in trying Legacy’s testing kits?

MJ, pre-vasectomy candidate, shares his Legacy review:

“As someone who wants to take control of their family planning, I was anxious to bank sperm prior to vasectomy. Legacy gave me the confidence & peace of mind that should I want children in the future, they would help to make that happen.”

A man with a plan. Surgeries are a big decision to contemplate—and often irreversible or costly to reverse and not always definite on reversibility. Many men like MJ are taking that extra step of small investment for peace of mind that children in the future are a possibility.

Another man, Nathan, writes in his Legacy review:

“I didn’t have to take time off work or figure out scheduling to go into a clinic. So decided to try the at-home testing, just because it seemed a lot easier. And it turns out, my employer paid for it!”

Incredible! Nothing easier than an at-home clinic with the added bonus of an employer paying for it! Seems nearly senseless to neglect looking into your options with employer coverage.

Will, proactive about his sperm health, shares his Legacy review:

“My sperm health results were actually great. I decided to freeze because I know I want biological kids one day. I’m 33, and want to be sure all my options are open for when that time comes.”

That’s the beauty of Legacy bundle options.

Get the For Today bundle and see how well your sperm are, then you have the option to add on cryofreeze if you so wish—flexibility with your best interest supported.
