TIES builds Foundations to prep men for fertility

For all the attention on prenatal care, the preconception conversation still tends to focus on women, even though men contribute to 50 percent of every fertility journey. TIES wants to actively address that blind spot with Foundations, a doctor-formulated daily supplement designed to support the core biological systems tied to male fertility, including sperm health and hormone function.

About Foundations

Foundations is built around a simple premise: male fertility is worth supporting daily, well before conception enters the picture. The biology backs the timing, too, as sperm take roughly 74 days to fully mature, so the nutrients a man takes in today are shaping the sperm that will be in play months from now.

The formula combines CoQ10, L-carnitine, zinc, selenium, vitamins C and B12, and a natural form of folate the body absorbs more readily than synthetic folic acid. Its eight clinically studied ingredients work across sperm development, DNA integrity, and hormone function.

TIES makes doctor-formulated supplements for male fertility.

But the conversation around fertility is much bigger than conception alone. In fact, more experts see it as one reflection of men’s overall health, since sperm quality can be shaped by the same hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors that influence how the rest of the body is functioning.

Behind the formula

To build Foundations, TIES brought together a team of specialists from across reproductive medicine and preconception nutrition. The formulation was guided by experts like Dr. Peter Kolettis, a fellowship-trained urologist and former president of the Society for the Study of Male Reproduction, who has treated male infertility for over two decades. The brand also tapped Dr. Jesse Pines, a clinical professor of emergency medicine and author of more than 400 peer-reviewed publications.

TIES was co-founded by husband-and-wife team Luke and Camryn Novak, who say it grew out of their own fertility journey and the belief that showing up for fatherhood starts before day one.
