CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) National Center Health statistics recent reports have shown that an upsurge has occurred in the use of dietary supplements among age 20 years since 1994 this regular increase. The purpose our study was to investigate effect on reproductive health male athletes Pakistan.A total 150 adult with mean 25.78 ± 0.56 were included divided into four groups: Non-athlete control (n = 57), Non supplemental athlete 40), Supplemental group I 28) II 25). Blood (10 ml) taken from each subject. Complete blood count performed 5 ml centrifuged separate plasma then analyzed antioxidant enzyme (CAT, POD, GR GSH) activities, Lipid peroxidation (TBARS), electrolyte, metal (sodium, potassium zinc) Luteinizing hormone (LH) concentration.Complete results showed normal RBC, WBC, Platelets, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Antioxidant enzymes GR, increased significantly as compared groups. Sodium significant increase (p < 0.001) I, while TBARS also 0.05) non concentration control. LH found be decreased groups.It is therefore concluded present oxidative stress considerably elevated response supplement consumption which may affect their haematological parameters hormones.
