Research suggests that Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) may support energy levels and reduce fatigue, with available studies pointing in a consistently positive direction. The strongest human evidence comes from a single randomized controlled trial published in 2019, which found that supplementation improved physical performance metrics including exercise capacity and walking distance. Additional studies, including animal and non-controlled research, have reported increases in serum growth hormone levels and improvements in energy metabolites such as glucose and free fatty acids, alongside reductions in stress hormones. However, the overall evidence base remains limited in size and scope, with only one human RCT identified, meaning stronger conclusions will require larger and more rigorous human trials before firm claims about energy and fatigue benefits can be made.
