Traditional use
Used in classical vajikarana and fertility formulations. The seed is the part used, after processing to remove the irritant outer coating.
Why brands use it
Carries genuine weight in the male fertility category, which is one of the most motivated audiences in this catalogue. Couples trying to conceive follow a protocol precisely for months and do not comparison-shop on price.
Quality and specification
Processed seed. L-dopa content is the usual marker. Unprocessed material is irritant and must not be used.
Safety and cautions
Contains L-dopa, so it can interact with medication for Parkinson's disease and with psychiatric medication. Those cautions belong on the label rather than in small print.
