In 2022, the global prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) was estimated to be at least 150 million cases. This number is greatly suspected to be underestimate as most men withhold information about ED. Also, about 15% of world population have infertility troubles, and male factors are responsible for almost half of these cases. Studies have shown that the quality of semen has decreased in the past several decades owing to various health factors and environmental toxicants. The current medical interventions involve the inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5 which suffer from serious side effects and costly. One of the popular and most sought interventions are the natural and nutritional remedies as they are foods in essence and potentially with no harm to the body. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to provide a review of the most common nutritional aphrodisiacs with increasing libido and fertility highlighting the potential active constituents as well as the underlying mechanisms.
2022年，全球勃起功能障碍（ED）的患病率估计至少为1.5亿例。由于大多数男性隐瞒有关勃起功能障碍的信息，这个数字很可能被低估了。此外，世界上约15%的人口存在不孕问题，其中近一半病例是由男性因素导致的。研究表明，在过去几十年中，由于各种健康因素和环境毒物，精液质量有所下降。目前的医学干预措施包括抑制磷酸二酯酶5，但这些措施存在严重的副作用且成本高昂。最受欢迎且最受追捧的干预措施之一是天然和营养疗法，因为它们本质上是食物，可能对身体无害。因此，本文的目的是综述最常见的具有增强性欲和生育能力的营养催情剂，突出其潜在的活性成分以及潜在机制。
