Dodder seed by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Health benefit of dodder seed extract
Dodder plant is a parasitic vine that wraps around other plants for nourishment. Dodder seed is used in China for kidney deficiency and is one of the commonly used Chinese Herbs. Dodder seed has a high content of flavonoids and has strong antioxidant properties. Dodder seed has been found in studies to have positive effects on sperm health and motility, and invigorates the reproductive system. I could not find any human studies involving dodder seed.

Dodder seed
questions
Q. Hi, I was doing a search for Passion Rx on yahoo and came across a website
called Penis Review. This website was claiming that VigRx is a
number one pick and had ranked Passion Rx lower. Can you tell me more about
VigRx.
A. There are several
so called sexual product review sites on the internet that make it appear that
they are independent but are actually a front for the company that sells the top
listed product. One such notorious site is Penis Review. See
VigRx for more information.
Other website that have done similar unfair comparisons include
stamazide,
zenerx, and
another product that seems to be made by the same company as Vigrx,
vigorelle.
Q. Does dodder seed help with
erectile
dysfunction?
A. We have not seen any studies regarding the
connection between dodder seed and impotence.
