Scientific Names: Pedalium Murex
Pedalium Murex, recognized for its traditional use in promoting male enhancement and urinary/genital health, is native to a broad geographical range. It thrives in regions stretching from Tropical Africa (spanning from Ghana through Somalia to Tanzania and Mozambique) to Eastern Asia (from India to Indonesia). This herb is often paired with Tribulus Terrestris and has a history of traditional medicinal use. Despite limited scientific validation, it is believed to share similarities in bioactivities with Tribulus, potentially influencing testosterone levels. While the leaves lack documented chemical composition, the fruits have yielded compounds such as alkaloids, phenolic acids, vanillin, and flavones.
