The Mistake of Using Erythroxylum to Boost Testosterone Naturally

dr prasoon saying avoid this testosterone booster

If you’re searching for ways to boost testosterone naturally, chances are you’ve come across several herbal supplements—some backed by science, others not so much. One such supplement gaining attention recently is erythroxylum. But is it effective? Let me share a real-life story from a recent online doctor consultation in Kerala that might make you think twice.

A young man from Kerala began taking erythroxylum supplements based on a friend’s recommendation to improve his sexual performance and erection strength. Unfortunately, instead of getting the results he hoped for, he experienced severe sleep disturbances. Concerned and frustrated, he booked a consultation with me through Dofody, our trusted platform for online doctor consultations in Kerala. After reviewing his case in detail, it became clear that erythroxylum was the root of the problem.

Erythroxylum belongs to the same plant family as erythroxylum coca, a powerful stimulant. While some online sources claim it helps with sexual function, the scientific evidence is weak. There are very few peer-reviewed studies or clinical trials supporting its use for male sexual dysfunction or testosterone enhancement. All the top sexologist in Kerala, do not recommend this supplement due to its questionable safety and lack of efficacy. Instead, consider better-studied herbal options like tribulus terrestris, tongkat ali, and rhodiola rosea. And of course, don’t underestimate the power of a healthy diet and regular exercise when it comes to naturally increasing testosterone.
