Alchornea floribunda, commonly known as the Christmas bush or Niando, is a plant native to West and Central Africa. Its use in supporting the male reproductive system is primarily rooted in traditional medicine. Ethnobotanical records from regions such as Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon indicate that various parts of the plant, especially the roots and bark, are used by traditional healers to treat male sexual dysfunction, boost libido, and enhance fertility. These uses are typically based on generational knowledge and cultural practices rather than systematic scientific inquiry.

There is a scarcity of robust scientific studies validating these claims. Some preliminary phytochemical analyses have identified alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins in the plant, which are bioactive compounds sometimes associated with reproductive health. However, direct clinical evidence or well-designed animal studies demonstrating efficacy for male reproductive support is lacking. Most available literature consists of anecdotal reports or general surveys of traditional medicine rather than controlled experimental research. Therefore, while the plant is traditionally used for male reproductive health, current scientific support for these uses is minimal to modest at best.
