Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine to support the male reproductive system, particularly as an aphrodisiac and to enhance vitality and sexual function. It is commonly referred to as "White gold" and is traditionally believed to improve libido, semen quality, and overall reproductive health. The roots are the part most often used for these purposes.

Scientific studies on Safed musli are limited and primarily preclinical or based on small-scale animal studies. Some research suggests that extracts of Safed musli may increase sperm count, motility, and testosterone levels in animal models. For example, a few rodent studies have shown improvements in sexual behavior and reproductive parameters. However, high-quality clinical trials in humans are lacking, and most existing studies have methodological limitations, such as small sample sizes or lack of control groups.

Therefore, while the traditional use of Safed musli for supporting the male reproductive system is well documented, robust scientific validation is currently insufficient. The evidence rating is moderate based on tradition, but low based on clinical research.
