Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Fadogia agrestis is a shrub native to Africa and has been used traditionally in Nigerian folk medicine to support male reproductive health, particularly as an aphrodisiac and for enhancing libido and sexual performance. The main evidence for its use in supporting the male reproductive system comes from ethnobotanical reports and traditional practices rather than robust scientific studies in humans. Some preclinical studies, primarily in rodents, have reported increases in testosterone levels and improvements in sexual behavior after administration of Fadogia agrestis extracts. However, these studies are limited in number, use high doses, and their results have not yet been replicated in well-designed human clinical trials. There are also concerns about potential toxicity at higher doses, as indicated by some animal studies. No authoritative regulatory agencies or clinical guidelines currently endorse its use for male reproductive health. As such, the current justification for using Fadogia agrestis to support the male reproductive system is primarily based on traditional use, with only preliminary scientific data from animal studies and insufficient evidence from human research.
