Rating (out of 5): 2

Black Seed (Nigella sativa) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia, and parts of Africa. Its seeds and oil have been described in historical texts for general vitality and as an aphrodisiac. In the context of male reproductive health, traditional uses include the enhancement of libido, fertility, and overall sexual function. These uses are largely based on empirical observations and cultural practices.

Scientific research into Black Seed’s effects on the male reproductive system is limited but emerging. Some animal studies suggest possible benefits; for example, Nigella sativa extracts have been shown in rodents to increase sperm count, motility, and testosterone levels. A handful of small human studies have reported improved sperm parameters and hormonal profiles in infertile men consuming Black Seed oil. However, these studies are generally of low methodological quality, with small sample sizes and potential biases. There is not yet enough robust clinical evidence to firmly substantiate its efficacy or to clarify optimal dosing and safety for this purpose.

In summary, while Black Seed is traditionally used to support male reproductive health and there are some early scientific indications of benefit, the primary justification remains traditional at this time, supported by low-to-moderate quality scientific data.
