Synopsis

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

Safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) has a long-standing history in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine as an aphrodisiac and a general tonic for male reproductive health, including the enhancement of virility and management of low testosterone or sexual dysfunction. Traditional texts and herbal manuals often recommend Safed musli for improving sexual vigor, stamina, and fertility, which are indirectly associated with testosterone levels. However, the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy in directly increasing testosterone is limited and primarily comes from animal studies. Some preclinical studies in rats have reported increased testosterone levels and improved sexual behavior following Safed musli supplementation, but robust human clinical trials are scarce. The available human studies are often small, lack rigorous controls, or focus more on subjective measures of sexual function rather than direct testosterone quantification. Thus, while Safed musli’s use for low testosterone is justified by tradition and some suggestive preclinical data, its efficacy is not strongly supported by high-quality human research at this time.
