Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Panax ginseng has a long history of traditional use in East Asian medicine to enhance vitality and sexual function, particularly in men. In recent decades, scientific research has begun to investigate these claims. Several clinical studies and systematic reviews indicate that Panax ginseng may have a positive effect on male reproductive health, particularly in the areas of erectile function and sperm quality. The primary active compounds, known as ginsenosides, are thought to influence nitric oxide synthesis and promote vasodilation, which may improve penile blood flow and erectile performance. Some randomized controlled trials have shown that Panax ginseng supplementation can improve erectile dysfunction compared to placebo, and there is some evidence that it may increase sperm motility and count in subfertile men. However, these studies often have small sample sizes, varying dosages, and differing product quality, leading to moderate rather than strong evidence. Overall, while traditional use is robust and scientific support is growing, the evidence is not yet definitive, but it does justify cautious use for supporting aspects of the male reproductive system.
