Brassaiopsis glomerulata

Brassaiopsis glomerulata is a tree native to Vietnam with compounds that may inhibit aromatase enzyme in vitro. NO GRADED OUTCOMES - zero clinical evidence. The entire evidence base consists of test tube (in vitro) studies identifying potential aromatase-inhibiting compounds. No animal studies. No human studies. Theoretical interest only. Should NOT be used as an aromatase inhibitor - pharmaceutical AIs have actual evidence.

Detailed Outcomes

Aromatase Inhibition

In vitro studies identified triterpene saponins from Brassaiopsis glomerulata that inhibited aromatase enzyme activity in cell-free and cell-based assays. No animal or human studies exist, and in vitro aromatase inhibition frequently fails to translate to in vivo activity due to bioavailability and pharmacokinetic barriers.

Damiana Leaf

1 shared outcome · 4 outcomes

Damiana is a Central American shrub traditionally used by the Maya as an aphrodisiac and physical tonic, often brewed as tea. Contains flavonoids (notably apigenin), terpenoids, and volatile oils. Very limited research - a few animal studies suggest mild aphrodisiac effects in fatigued or sluggish animals, possibly due to adaptogenic rather than specific pro-sexual effects. Any anxiolytic effects may be due to apigenin content. No human clinical trials for aphrodisiac claims.
