A Nigerian shrub used in traditional medicine as an aphrodisiac and treatment for erectile dysfunction.  An extract of the stems was found to increase serum testosterone and sexual activity in rats, although it caused adverse testicular effects at high doses. Fadogia agrestis is being added to various “male” enhancement products and T-boosters, although there is no data on its efficacy in humans.
