“…Epidemiological research has established connections between male sexual dysfunction and various disorders, notably type II diabetes [ 109 ] and cardiovascular diseases [ 110 ]. In the realm of reproductive medicine, limited therapies have prompted researchers to explore natural products as potential treatments [ 111 , 112 , 113 ]. Of these, DPP has garnered considerable attention.…”

“…Sadeghi et al [ 138 ] observed that the administration of DPP capsules (350 mg daily) for 35 days improved vaginal lubrication and reduced dyspareunia in postmenopausal women compared to the control group receiving a starch placebo. Additionally, another trial demonstrated that 300 mg of DPP supplementation for 35 days in non-menopausal women improved the lubrication and desire domains of the Female Sexual Function Index, without significantly affecting arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain compared to the control group receiving 300 mg of the starch capsule [ 113 ]. Another study reported that the oral administration of the same dose increased arousal, orgasm, lubrication, pain during intercourse, and satisfaction in women [ 97 ].…”

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.

“…Dates palm pollen (DPP) is an excellent natural dietary food supplement for humans due to its nutritional value and richness in minerals, vitamins, and amino acids [70]. For example, a 100 g of DPP has an energy value of 310.88 Kcal and the protein, carbohydrates, and fat make up 40%, 19%, and 12% in total content [67].…”

Dates are the fruits of the date palm belonging to the Arecaceae family; they comprise over 2500 species and 200 genera and constitute an essential part of the daily diet worldwide, with beneficial nutritional, health, and economic values. Several varieties of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) fruit exist globally, especially in hot and humid regions. This review is an overview of date palms as a significant global food resource, including their historical significance, nutritional composition, cultivation practices, economic importance, and health benefits. The historical journey of dates goes back to ancient civilizations where they were revered for their richness in essential nutrients and natural sweetness. Today, dates are a vital crop in arid regions, contributing substantially to the agricultural economy and livelihoods of communities. This paper further explores the cultivation techniques employed to enhance date production. Furthermore, the nutritional composition of dates is analyzed in detail, highlighting their high content of vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, and antioxidants. These attributes make dates a delicious treat and a valuable nutritional component, offering numerous health benefits. The potential health effects, including improved digestion, enhanced cardiovascular health, and increased energy levels, are discussed. Additionally, this paper delves into the economic significance of the date industry and its global trade.

“…Phytochemical studies showed that the presence of flavonoids, sterol derivatives, and amino acids [7], estradiol, and several types of vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, and minerals such as manganese, zinc, and selenium may be responsible for the pharmacological effect of DPP. Indeed, these ingredients can increase the levels of LH, and testosterone consequently leads to improve sexual function [8].…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the main cause of large-scale morbidity and mortality. This syndrome has adverse effects on all physiological systems, including the male reproductive system. It affects a large number of men of reproductive age and causes serious reproductive disorders. This study was aimed to examine the protective effect of date palm pollen (DPP) on diabetes-induced testicular disorders in male rats. Rats were divided into 4 groups. The first group represents the negative control, while the second group is the positive control. In contrast, the following two groups represent the treated groups of DPP suspension with a concentration of 130 mg/kg and 160 mg/kg for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the rats were anesthetized, the epididymis and testis were extracted. The positive control group significantly decreased body weight, sex hormones, and sperm count. However, a significant increase in fasting glucose and the number of abnormal sperm. The histological results confirmed tubular degeneration, Leydig cell atrophy, and tubular dilation. Decrease the basement membrane, the semenforuos epithelium, and tubular diameter, while the diameter of the lumen increased. Treatment with DPP suspension showed a significant decrease in the level of fasting glucose and the number of abnormal sperm. While the number of sperm increased significantly. The results of the histological study confirmed that the Seminiferous Tubules treated with DPP were intact, the germinal epithelium dense, seminiferous tubules did not expand. We concluded that the DPP has an influence on protecting testis from diabetes complication.
