Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Orchic extract is an ingredient derived from bovine (cattle) testes and has been used in traditional medicine and historical supplements, primarily as a supposed “male glandular support.” The use of orchic extract stems from the early 20th-century concept of “glandular therapy,” which postulated that consuming animal organ extracts could support the corresponding human organs. Historically, some believed that consuming testicular tissue or extracts could support male reproductive health, virility, or testosterone levels.
However, there is no credible scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of orchic extract for improving male reproductive function in humans. Modern research has not substantiated any claims that orchic extract improves testosterone levels, fertility, libido, or other aspects of male reproductive health. Today, its use persists in some traditional or alternative supplements, but it is not widely recognized or recommended by the scientific or medical community for this purpose.
In summary, the use of orchic extract for male reproductive system support is justified by historical tradition rather than scientific validation, and its efficacy is unproven.
