Synopsis

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

Sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) have been used traditionally in various cultures as a food believed to support male reproductive health. In Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, sesame seeds are often considered to have properties that enhance vitality and reproductive function. These assertions are mostly based on historical usage and anecdotal evidence rather than robust scientific studies. Sesame seeds are rich in nutrients such as zinc, vitamin E, and lignans, all of which are important for general reproductive health and antioxidant support. Some small-scale animal studies have suggested that sesame seed extracts may improve sperm quality and testosterone levels, but these results are preliminary and not widely replicated in human trials. Overall, while there are plausible mechanisms by which sesame seeds could support the male reproductive system, such as providing antioxidants and essential minerals, scientific evidence directly linking sesame seed consumption to significant improvements in male reproductive parameters is limited. Thus, the support for using sesame seeds for this purpose is primarily traditional, with only modest scientific backing.
