Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bovine (unspecified), particularly in the form of bovine testicular extracts or "orchic extract," has a history of traditional use for supporting the testes and male reproductive health. This practice is rooted in the concept of "like supports like," where consuming an animal organ is believed to support the analogous organ in humans. Such use has been prominent in various forms of traditional medicine and was especially popular in early 20th-century Western "glandular therapy." However, scientific validation for these claims is minimal to nonexistent. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or mechanistic studies demonstrating that bovine testicular extracts have any significant effect on human testicular function, testosterone production, or fertility. Any observed effects are largely anecdotal or based on historical precedent rather than measurable, reproducible scientific evidence. Regulatory agencies and mainstream medical organizations do not recognize bovine (unspecified) supplements as effective or necessary for supporting testicular health. In summary, the use of bovine (unspecified) for testes support is justified primarily by tradition, with little to no scientific support.
