Turnera diffusa Wild (Turneraceae) recovers sexual behavior in sexually exhausted males
Estrada-Reyes R, Ortiz-López P, Gutiérrez-Ortíz J, Martínez-Mota L
Published in Journal of Ethnopharmacology
Methodology
Controlled animal (rat) experiment comparing aqueous Turnera diffusa extract (20-80 mg/kg), yohimbine and vehicle in sexually exhausted males
Key Findings
Turnera diffusa at 80 mg/kg increased the proportion of males resuming copulation and shortened the post-ejaculatory interval without altering locomotion or anxiety.
Conclusions
Animal data support a pro-sexual effect, but no equivalent human trial of damiana alone exists.
Limitations
Rodent model; single-dose ranging; no human translation.
Supplements Studied
Yohimbine and Turnera diffusa (80 mg/kg) significantly increased the percentage of males achieving one ejaculatory series and resuming a second one.
