Fadogia Agrestis
Extract
Extract from the Fadogia agrestis shrub, traditionally used for male sexual health and purported testosterone support, but lacking human evidence.
Fadogia agrestis is a West African shrub whose extracts are marketed as testosterone boosters and aphrodisiacs. Most claims are based on animal studies, with little to no direct human evidence.
Most evidence is restricted to animal and in vitro studies. No quality human RCTs or pharmacokinetic data are available.
Possible Testosterone Support (Animal Data Only)
LimitedAnimal studies suggest that Fadogia agrestis may increase serum testosterone, likely via stimulation of luteinizing hormone, but these effects are unproven in humans.
Traditional Aphrodisiac Effects (Animal Data Only)
LimitedFadogia agrestis has demonstrated increased sexual activity and libido in male rats, echoing its folkloric use as an aphrodisiac; relevance to humans is unknown.
Animal Evidence for Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Activity
LimitedSome animal studies report reduced pain and inflammation with Fadogia agrestis extracts, potentially due to modulation of inflammatory mediators.
