I've seen
abuta advertised by a raw material supplier as Abuta (Abuta grandifolia
Sandw.). I am not sure how different abuta gradifolia is from cissampelos
pareira.
Abuta
research
Antifertility activity of the methanolic leaf
extract of Cissampelos pareira in female albino mice.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2007 May. Department of Chemistry, Cotton College,
Guwahati 781001, Assam, India.
Meenakshi Cissampelos pareira Linn. is one of the folk medicinal plants commonly
used as antifertility agent in some places of India. The aim of the present
study was to evaluate the validity of the antifertility effect of the leaf
extract. Cissampelos pareira leaf extract, when administered orally, altered the
estrous cycle pattern in female mice, prolonged the length of estrous cycle with
significant increase in the duration of diestrus stage and reduced significantly
the number of litters in albino mice. The plant extract altered gonadotropin
release (LH, FSH and prolactin) and estradiol secretion.

Q. Can abuta herb be taken the same day as
yohimbe bark extract?
A. We don't know for sure, but yohimbe bark is potent and care must
be taken to use a small amount only and not to mix it with other herbs if
possible, particularly in high doses.
