Claims regarding Avena Sativa
Promoters say avena sativa frees up bound testosterone to free testosterone in the blood, making it more active. However, we have not come across any published studies that prove this point. Most claims for avena sativa benefit rest on research conducted during the 1980s by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, which markets a line of avena sativa products. According to an article in Nutrition Action Healthletter, the one study on men and women that compared avena sativa to a placebo was never published in a peer-reviewed journal.
