To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the influence of C. esculentus tubers, known as tiger nut, on the copulatory behavior of adult male rats. Tiger nut was found to enhance sexual motivation (desire) in highly active and moderately active male rats, and to improve the sexual performance (potency) in moderately active rats. This was accompanied by an upsurge in total serum testosterone concentration in treated rats in both categories.

The exact mechanism by which tiger nut boosts testosterone levels is not entirely clear. However, we speculate that tiger nut may act directly on testicular cells, and not through the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, since no variations in FSH and LH levels were observed due to tiger nut treatment. The phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of several components (quercetin, vitamins E and C, and the mineral zinc) in tiger nut that could positively contribute to testosterone production and improve the erectile function.
