Fadogia Agrestis for Exercise Performance

Research suggests that Fadogia agrestis may influence testosterone levels, which is the primary proposed mechanism connecting it to exercise performance outcomes. The available evidence consists of a single animal study from 2005 showing increased serum testosterone in male rats following administration of the extract. No human clinical trials, randomized controlled studies, or direct exercise performance measurements have been conducted to date, which represents a substantial gap between the mechanistic hypothesis and any practical conclusions for athletes or physically active individuals. The current body of evidence is far too limited to draw meaningful conclusions about whether Fadogia agrestis produces performance-relevant effects in humans, and researchers have not yet established whether the hormonal changes observed in rodents translate to human physiology.
