| description | This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Tualang honey on sperm parameters, erectile function, and hormonal
and safety profiles. Methodology. A randomized control trial was done using Tualang honey (20 grams) and Tribestan (750mg)
over a period of 12 weeks. Sperm parameters including sperm concentration, motility, and morphology were analyzed and erectile
function was assessed using IIEF-5 questionnaire. Hormonal profiles of testosterone, FSH, and LH were studied. The volunteers
were randomized into two groups and the outcomes were analyzed using SPSS version 18. Results. A total of 66 participants were
involved. A significant increment of mean sperm concentration ( |
