Is it true that Ashwagandha supplementation increases sexual desire in adults?
Unclear. Two small randomized trials in adult males report that ashwagandha root extract improved measures of sexual desire, and one meta-analysis reports increased testosterone, a related but indirect marker. No retrieved item covers women or establishes the general claim across adults.
