>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Cissampelos capensis, is commonly known by the Afrikaans name ‟dawidjies” or
‟dawidjieswortel”. C. capensis is the most important and best known medicinal plant
of the family Menispermaceae used by the Khoisan and other rural people in the
western regions of South Africa. Among numerous other ailments, it is traditionally
taken to treat male fertility problems. Yet, no studies have investigated the effects of
this plant or its extracts on human spermatozoa. The aim of study was to investigate
the effects of C. capensis rhizome extracts on sperm function.
