Chlorophytum, particularly Chlorophytum borivilianum (commonly known as Safed Musli), has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for supporting male reproductive health, including enhancing libido, improving sexual performance, and addressing issues such as erectile dysfunction. The plant is considered a "Rasayana" herb in Ayurveda, which refers to herbs believed to rejuvenate and restore bodily functions, especially those related to vitality and fertility. Traditional texts frequently mention Safed Musli as an aphrodisiac and as a general tonic for male reproductive health.

Scientific studies on Chlorophytum borivilianum are limited but growing. Some preclinical research (in vitro and animal studies) suggests that extracts of the root may improve spermatogenesis, increase testosterone levels, and enhance sexual behavior in animal models. These effects are thought to be due to the presence of saponins and other phytochemicals. However, high-quality human clinical trials are sparse, and most of the available evidence comes from traditional usage and preliminary laboratory research. Therefore, while traditional support is strong and early scientific evidence is promising, robust clinical validation is still lacking.

In summary, the use of Chlorophytum for supporting male reproductive health is rooted mainly in traditional medicine, with some emerging but not yet definitive scientific support.
