Description

Fadogia Agrestis is a plant from Nigeria, and its stem is used to make medicine. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), increase sex drive, improve athletic performance, and support bodybuilding. It is also used to treat malaria.

Fadogia Agrestis is becoming popular among athletes and bodybuilders as an alternative to anabolic steroids. Promoters point to research in animals that shows Fadogia Agrestis might increase sexual behaviors and raise the level of the male hormone testosterone.

One rodent study suggests that it boosts testosterone and acts as a libido enhancer. Based on its magnitude of benefit, it appears to be one of the more potent herbs for increasing libido. It seems to be slightly more effective than Spilanthes acmella, based on metrics from rodent studies. Limited animal evidence supports the pro-erectile properties of this herb, but an associated increase in ejaculation latency has also been noted.

Fadogia Agrestis is also used for skin care, as it is a potent astringent that can reduce excessive sebum secretion and pimples on the skin. It can also eliminate eye puffiness by tightening pores around them.
