Find the cause first: In order to best determine how to improve sperm it's critical to get an evaluation to find out why the sperm is poor. There are different underlying causes and the treatments vary according to the cause. For example, if sperm is bad due to infection, antibiotics can help and otc products would be a waste of time/money.

Get evaluated: I agree with dr. Roseff, that getting a basic workup is critical. Often a basic workup would include basic endocrine bloodwork and an examination for varicocele (in addition to more semen analyses). Lifestyle changes can also matter... If you smoke (anything)... Quit. If you are overweight/obese, get lean and adjust your nutrition. I have seen dramatic improvements with lifestyle modification.
