Infertility represents a significant global health challenge affecting both men and women. Despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse, approximately 15% of couples of reproductive age struggle to conceive within 12 months, with 10% of infertility cases attributed to unknown causes worldwide. As a result, numerous studies have turned their attention to exploring the use of natural products for the prevention and treatment of infertility. Among these natural remedies is date palm pollen (DPP), a male reproductive powder derived from the blossoms of the Phoenix dactylifera L. palm tree, which has a long history of use as a dietary supplement, particularly as an aphrodisiac and fertility enhancer for both men and women. This review critically examines the diverse components of DPP, including metabolites, proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, to elucidate its potential impact on human reproduction. The analysis thoroughly assesses the composition of DPP in relation to its effects on enhancing reproductive processes and delves into its traditional uses and therapeutic benefits in male fertility, such as the enhancement of sexual desire, semen quality, and hormonal equilibrium. Similarly, it explores the influence of DPP on female fertility, emphasizing its potential to improve factors such as lubrication, desire, ovulation, and hormonal balance. Overall, this review underscores the potential of DPP as a natural remedy for addressing reproductive disorders. |
