Researchers from Rwanda and Nigeria compared the compositions of Benin hemp ethanol extract (BHE) and Nigerian hemp, and evaluated the effects of BHE on semen parameters, reproductive hormones and antioxidant status. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that BHE improves semen parameters by reducing plasma prolactin and enhancing plasma antioxidant status. They also associated its pro-fertility potential with its deficiency in gonadotoxic phytocannabinoids.
