Not hurting: Any vitamin supplement has very little impact on sperm and male fertility. It will not cause any harm though.

Folic acid is great: Women take Folic Acid to help prevent neuro tube defects. Men can take folic and other antioxidants to improve sperm shape. This has been supported in urologic studies.
