Study: Ashwagandha against male infertility

Von Natur.wiki Autoren-Team

Die Studie untersucht die Wirkung eines Wurzelextrakts von Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) auf die spermatogene Aktivität bei Männern mit oligospermischer Unfruchtbarkeit. Es handelt sich um eine doppelblinde, randomisierte, placebokontrollierte Pilotstudie mit 46 Teilnehmern. Die Behandlungsgruppe erhielt 12 Wochen lang dreimal täglich 225 mg Ashwagandha-Wurzelextrakt, während die Kontrollgruppe ein Placebo einnahm. Die Studie zeigt, dass die Spermienkonzentration bei den mit Ashwagandha behandelten Männern um 167 % anstieg. Dies legt nahe, dass Ashwagandha bei der Verbesserung der Spermienqualität bei Männern mit Unfruchtbarkeit hilfreich sein könnte.

double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel group pilot study

participant

68 Healthy men at the age of 22 - were evaluated with male infertility. Of these participants, 46 were recorded after they were considered suitable for the recording. The male factor was defined by a sperm concentration between 5 and 20 million/ml and a total motility of 10 %. - here and here .

If doctors determine that misalignment of the HPG contributes to male infertility, the Ashwagandha root can be recommended to improve seed parameters. Ashwagandha, a medicinal plant, the name of which on Sanskrit means "horse smell", 13 has been used for thousands of years to treat hypogonadism, low libido and male infertility. restored. The results of this study agree with an earlier study that showed that Ashwagandha improves the sperm parameters in sterile men with hypogonadism. 16 While this study lacked long-term follow-up and evaluation of the pregnancy rates under Ashwagandha treatment, the statistically significant improvement in the seed parameter, the lack of Side effects and side effects as well as the relative difficulty compared to techniques of assisted reproduction are considered the Ashwagandha root as part of a naturopathic approach to the treatment of male infertility, especially if a low testosterone level or a HPG dysregulation are jointly responsible.
