Rating (out of 5): 2

Leptadenia (Leptadenia reticulata) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, particularly in India, where it is known as "Jivanti." Traditional texts describe its use as a tonic to support the reproductive system in both men and women. It has been used for promoting lactation, improving fertility, and supporting general reproductive health. In Ayurveda, Leptadenia is believed to have galactagogue properties (promoting milk production) and is included in various formulations aimed at enhancing women's health during pregnancy and postpartum periods.

While there are some animal studies that suggest Leptadenia may have beneficial effects on reproductive parameters (such as increasing sperm count or enhancing lactation in rats), robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Most of the claims about its reproductive benefits are rooted in traditional practice rather than validated by contemporary scientific research. Therefore, its use to support the reproductive system is primarily justified by traditional evidence, with limited preclinical support but little to no high-quality human data available.
