Chlorophytum borivilianum: competition for Viagra?
A recent study in an animal model has found that the plant, Chlorophytum borivilianum , was able to improve sexual arousal, vigor and also sperm sperm count. The plant is popular in places such as India, where it is treated as a natural alternative to drugs such as Viagra. In this particular study, the plant was found to be somewhat comparable to Viagra in many of the parameters evaluated.
