Resumen

TLDRDr. Reena Malik, a urologist, explores the topic of fedoa agrestis and its potential influence on testosterone levels. While traditionally used in herbal medicine, current scientific evidence largely stems from animal studies, particularly in rats, which suggest some increase in testosterone levels. However, these results cannot be directly applied to humans due to physiological differences. There is no published, peer-reviewed research on the effect of fedoa agrestis in humans, and concerns about toxicity to organs such as the liver, kidneys, and testicles have been noted in animal studies. Dr. Malik advises skepticism when approaching claims about its efficacy until more substantial human studies are conducted. She emphasizes the importance of consulting with a doctor for those with low testosterone symptoms and discusses both natural and medicinal approaches. Monitoring by a physician is crucial if one considers testosterone replacement therapy, ensuring an informed decision is made.

    so what EX exactly is fedoa agrus so
  • 00:01:02
    it's a plant that's native to Africa and
  • 00:01:03
    it's been used traditionally in herbal
  • 00:01:06
    medicine for various purposes and one of
  • 00:01:09
    the most talked about benefits is its
  • 00:01:12
    potential to boost testosterone but does
  • 00:01:15
    the science add up so it's believed that
  • 00:01:18
    fedoa has phytochemicals like alkaloids
  • 00:01:22
    and saponins I've talked about in
  • 00:01:24
    previous videos about testosterone
  • 00:01:25
    boosters that ultimately May supplement
  • 00:01:28
    the production of test testosterone in
  • 00:01:30
    the testes and influence the
  • 00:01:33
    hypothalamic pituitary gonal access
  • 00:01:35
    meaning the signals from the brain to
  • 00:01:37
    the testicles some theorize that this is
  • 00:01:39
    due to increasing levels of LH which
  • 00:01:42
    tells the testes to produce more
  • 00:01:45
    testosterone however the true mechanism
  • 00:01:47
    hasn't been completely determined
  • 00:01:49
    normally if you guys are new here I
  • 00:01:51
    never talk about animal studies but
  • 00:01:54
    unfortunately the only peer reviewed
  • 00:01:57
    published research on fidia aggress tce
  • 00:02:00
    is in rats so we're going to talk about
  • 00:02:02
    it researchers gave different doses of
  • 00:02:05
    the aquous extract of fedoa grus to 60
  • 00:02:09
    male rats at 24-hour intervals and they
  • 00:02:12
    assessed their sexual behavior as well
  • 00:02:14
    as their serum testosterone
  • 00:02:16
    concentrations over a period of 5 days
  • 00:02:19
    they saw a significant increase in serum
  • 00:02:21
    testosterone concentrations in all the
  • 00:02:23
    groups so the groups are based on the
  • 00:02:25
    various doses of the plant extract
  • 00:02:27
    either 18 milligrams per kilogram 50 Mig
  • 00:02:30
    per kilg or 100 mg per kilog of body
  • 00:02:33
    weight and this led to a 2 three or
  • 00:02:35
    sixfold increase in serum testosterone
  • 00:02:38
    levels compared to the control groups
  • 00:02:40
    who didn't get any by the end of the
  • 00:02:42
    experimental period another animal study
  • 00:02:45
    found that there was potentially some
  • 00:02:47
    toxicity to the liver kidney and
  • 00:02:50
    testicles of the rats who received fogia
  • 00:02:53
    agrestis for a total of 28 days and this
  • 00:02:57
    ultimately led to a reduction in the
  • 00:02:59
    function of these organs now in terms of
  • 00:03:02
    human studies there are no peer-reviewed
  • 00:03:05
    published studies investigating the
  • 00:03:08
    effects of fedoa agrestis on human
  • 00:03:12
    testosterone levels most of what is
  • 00:03:14
    being discussed is from people reporting
  • 00:03:17
    their own individual experiences with
  • 00:03:20
    supplementing with fedoa ausus or
  • 00:03:22
    extrapolating dosing from animal studies
  • 00:03:25
    and to be quite honest we are not just
  • 00:03:27
    large rats we are humans and we have
  • 00:03:29
    very different physiologic mechanisms
  • 00:03:32
    compared to WRA so until we have solid
  • 00:03:35
    large scale human trials we should
  • 00:03:37
    generally approach the claims about
  • 00:03:39
    fedoa agrestis with a healthy dose of
  • 00:03:41
    skepticism and generally personal
  • 00:03:43
    anecdotes can't replace scientific
  • 00:03:45
    evidence particularly because we don't
  • 00:03:48
    know what the long-term effects of
  • 00:03:50
    supplementing with something like this
  • 00:03:52
    is and what the potential harm
  • 00:03:54
    associated with it is if you want to
  • 00:03:56
    learn more about supplementation for
  • 00:03:58
    testosterone boosting make sure to check
  • 00:04:00
    out my playlist on testosterone boosting
  • 00:04:02
    supplements for the evidence behind them
  • 00:04:04
    so you can make an informed decision now
  • 00:04:07
    I generally recommend always getting
  • 00:04:09
    your testosterone levels checked and
  • 00:04:10
    evaluated And discussing that with your
  • 00:04:13
    doctor if you are truly having symptoms
  • 00:04:16
    of low testosterone and your
  • 00:04:18
    testosterone is low it's important to
  • 00:04:20
    discuss the potential benefits of
  • 00:04:22
    testosterone replacement therapy now you
  • 00:04:23
    don't have to supplement with
  • 00:04:25
    testosterone replacement therapy however
  • 00:04:27
    it's important to know the benefits and
  • 00:04:29
    the risks and also talk about the
  • 00:04:31
    natural ways to improve testosterone and
  • 00:04:33
    check out my video on that to discuss
  • 00:04:36
    appropriately if you decide to get
  • 00:04:38
    testosterone replacement please be sure
  • 00:04:40
    to get monitored by a physician rather
  • 00:04:42
    than purchasing supplementation in some
  • 00:04:45
    nefarious way I hope you guys found this
  • 00:04:47
    helpful as always I'm going to take care
  • 00:04:48
