Safed Musli Powder

Safed Musli has been used for centuries in India to treat such conditions as sexual dysfunction, high cholesterol, diabetes and arthritis. Recent discoveries of its effect on testosterone due to the saponins Stigmasterol and Hecogenin help explain its reputation as an aphrodisiac and have made Safed Musli an herb of interest to bodybuilders as well. Stigmasterol is similar in structure to testosterone and is believed to bind to the testosterone receptors in the body. Thus, it causes a testosterone-like effect. Hecogenin can convert in the body to compounds which greatly resemble testosterone.
