Date palm pollen supplementation has shown significant positive impact on desire and lubrication in non-menopausal women's sexual function.
Randomised Controlled Trial Female Sexual Function
In the study conducted between October and December of 2019, sixty-eight non-menopausal women were recruited from health centers in the city of Khalkhal for randomized clinical trials. The participants were divided into two study groups - a placebo group and a palm pollen group. The participants in the latter group received a dosage of 300mg per day of a palm pollen capsule for a duration of 35 days. The Female Sexual Function Index instrument was utilized to assess any changes in the participants' sexual function.
Following the introduction of the date palm pollen supplement, there was a noteworthy increase in two particular areas: desire and lubrication for the palm pollen group. While there were no discernible differences in other areas like arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, the overall sexual function, as per the Female Sexual Function Index, also experienced a positive increase. Even though each domain varied, there was an overall observed positive correlation between the initial levels and the resulting state following supplementation.

Date palm pollen (DPP) containing various compounds has been used as an aphrodisiac and fertility enhancer historically and shows promise in treating fertility disorders.
Review Article Female Fertility Male Fertility
The study focused on the analysis of date palm pollen (DPP), the male reproductive dust of palm flowers, traditionally used as a dietary supplement, especially as a fertility enhancer. The research underlined the investigation of the various compounds isolated from DPP, which include amino acids, fatty acids, flavonoids, saponins, and estroles.
The discussion of the results reveals that while there are a limited number of clinical trials evaluating the benefits of DPP in humans, a number of experimental studies have been conducted on the reproductive effects of DPP. These compounds and their effects potentially contribute to DPP's application in treating fertility disorders. It was concluded that DPP holds considerable promise in the context of fertility therapy, demonstrating key pharmacological activities that could be harnessed for treatment.
