Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine to support male reproductive health. Historically, it has been considered an aphrodisiac and a remedy for male sexual dysfunctions such as low libido and erectile issues. Ancient texts and folk medicine practitioners have used Safed musli root powders and preparations to enhance sexual performance, vitality, and to improve sperm count and motility. The root is also included in various traditional formulations aimed at increasing strength and stamina.

Scientific research into Safed musli’s effects on the reproductive system is limited and primarily consists of animal studies. Some preclinical research suggests that extracts of Safed musli may improve testicular function, increase testosterone levels, and enhance sperm quality in rodents. However, large, well-controlled human clinical trials are lacking, making it difficult to conclusively validate these effects in people. The evidence base currently relies more on traditional use and anecdotal reports rather than rigorous scientific validation. Therefore, while Safed musli has a strong traditional reputation for supporting the reproductive system, scientific validation remains limited, and more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety in humans.
