Overview

What is Celery Extract? Celery Extract, or apium graveolens, is a widely underutilized ingredient in the sports nutrition space and poses many benefits for overall health. The benefits of Celery Extract are extensive and well-documented and include a reduction in blood pressure, improvements in depressive symptoms, and promotion of male fertility.

Celery Extract Benefits

Celery Extract is believed to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This proposed benefit was tested in a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial. Fifty hypertensive patients were either given a placebo or 1.34g of celery seed extract daily over the course of 4 weeks. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Beck anxiety and depression inventories. Findings suggest that Celery Extract posed reductions in both anxiety and depression symptoms in hypertensive patients. Patients whom consumed Celery Extract reported improvements in dizziness, sweating, numbness, and nervousness during the trial period. At the same time, patients also reported reductions in sadness, insomnia, and fatigue amongst several other depressive parameters.

In terms of fertility, most of the studies on Celery Extract have been conducted on rats. In one study aimed at assessing the effects of Celery Extract's effects on the testis and sexual cells of male rats, results showed marked improvements in the number of spermatocytes and sperm cells in the group that had consumed celery extract over 60 days.

Fertility Benefits of Celery Extract

In terms of fertility, most of the studies on Celery Extract have been conducted on rats. In one study aimed at assessing the effects of Celery Extract's effects on the testis and sexual cells of male rats, results showed marked improvements in the number of spermatocytes and sperm cells in the group that had consumed celery extract over 60 days.

Another study conducted on 24 healthy male rats divided the subjects into three groups; the first group received a placebo, the second group received 100mg/kg celery extract, and the third group received 200mg/kg celery extract over 30 days. At the conclusion of the study, the subjects were euthanized and morphometric studies were then conducted. Results show a marked increase in testes volume and spermatocytes. This study concludes that celery extract may be beneficial in the production of sperm cells and other sperm fertility parameters.
