- W2184635549 abstract "SUMMARY AIM: Herbal medicines have become a popular form of healthcare. Like other herbal medicines, herbal aphrodisiacs consumed by men may contain contaminants which may be of health concern. This study was carried out to assess the presence of heavy metals in herbal aphrodisiacs sold at markets and the �������� effects of these aphrodisiacs on human spermatozoa function. METHODS: Herbal aphrodisiac in powder and liquid forms were purchased from traditional healers plying their trade in Blantyre City, Malawi. Semen was collected from volunteering donors visiting our andrology laboratory. Herbal aphrodisiacs were prepared and analyzed for six heavy metals by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Semen samples were washed and exposed to increasing concentrations of herbal aphrodisiacs and incubated for 30 and 60 minutes before motility and viability were assessed. RESULTS: Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn) were the metals that were found in both powder and liquid concoction forms of the aphrodisiacs. No improvement of sperm motility and viability was observed when sperm were treated with different concentration of the aphrodisiacs. CONCLUSSION: This study has shown that some metals that could be dangerous to human health are present in herbal aphrodisiacs sold in markets around Blantyre city and that the presence of these metals is related to how the aphrodisiacs are stored." @default.
