The research on Fadogia agrestis is limited but the studies that have been done suggest positive results. Some animal studies on Fadogia agrestis have reported potential benefits, which include:
- Aphrodisiac Effects: Some animal studies have suggested that Fadogia agrestis may have aphrodisiac properties, potentially increasing libido and sexual performance in male rats.
- Testosterone Booster: There have been studies indicating that Fadogia agrestis might have an effect on increasing testosterone levels. Higher testosterone levels can influence muscle growth and athletic performance.

One study concluded the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis stem increased the blood testosterone concentrations and this may be the mechanism responsible for its aphrodisiac effects and various masculine behaviors. It may be used to modify impaired sexual functions in animals, especially those arising from hypotestosteronemia.
