Dioscorea deltoidea, a climbing plant that grows in Asia, belongs to a genus that consists of more than 600 different species of flowering plants. Dioscorea deltoidea contains a high concentration of furostanolic saponins, substances reported to boost testosterone levels. (Paseschnichenko 1975) The roots are eaten among traditional cultures. Numerous supplements on the market that purport to help boost testosterone levels contain dioscorea deltoidea, however there are no published scientific studies to support the claim. Men should consult their healthcare provider before taking supplements that contain dioscorea deltoidea.
