Safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) has a long history of use in traditional Indian medicine, particularly Ayurveda, for supporting strength, vitality, and energy. Traditionally, it is classified as a "Rasayana" herb, meaning it is believed to rejuvenate and revitalize the body. In Ayurvedic texts, Safed musli is recommended for fatigue, weakness, and as a general tonic to enhance energy and stamina, often used in formulations for men’s health and as an aphrodisiac. Scientific studies on Safed musli’s effects on energy in humans are limited, and most available research consists of animal studies or small-scale human trials. Some animal studies suggest that extracts of Safed musli may have adaptogenic and anti-fatigue effects, possibly by modulating stress hormones and increasing antioxidant capacity. However, high-quality clinical trials in humans specifically evaluating its effects on energy or fatigue are lacking. Thus, while Safed musli is traditionally used for supporting energy and there is some preliminary scientific data suggesting possible benefits, robust clinical evidence is lacking. Its primary justification for use in supporting energy remains traditional, with modest scientific support. Anyone considering Safed musli for fatigue or low energy should consult with a healthcare professional, especially due to the limited clinical data.
