Fertility Claims

• Goron Tula (Azanza garckeana) is an edible indigenous fruit from West Africa that has long been used in traditional medicine as an aphrodisiac and fertility booster, believed to help with vaginal lubrication, correct irregular menstrual cycles, and boost ovulation. Preliminary animal studies suggest its fruit extract may raise serum oestradiol and improve testicular reserves.
• Cloves are a common spice, and in traditional practices, clove water is believed to stimulate the secretion of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation. This perceived effect on ovulation is the basis for claims that it can help achieve pregnancy, or even a multiple pregnancy.
• Medical Consensus The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in the US has stated that common causes of infertility in women include structural problems, failure of an egg to mature, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. There is no scientific proof that cloves can treat these underlying medical conditions. 

Safety and Risks

• Pregnancy: While small amounts of cloves used in cooking are generally safe, high doses, supplements, or clove water are not recommended during pregnancy. The compound eugenol in cloves can potentially stimulate uterine contractions, which may increase the risk of preterm labor or miscarriage, and can also act as a blood thinner.
• Overdose: Consuming large amounts of Goron Tula might trigger an early menstrual period.
• Consultation: Always consult a healthcare professional before using any herbal products, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, are taking other medications, are pregnant, or are trying to conceive.
