  • Phenols
  • Tannins
  • Carotenoids
  • Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)

Health Benefits of Goron Tula (Evidence-Based & Traditional)

1. Supports Libido And Sexual Wellness

Goron Tula is widely known for its aphrodisiac reputation.

Why it may help:

  • Flavonoids reduce oxidative stress, which can affect libido
  • Anti-inflammatory properties support blood flow and tissue health
  • The natural mucilage improves vaginal lubrication

Traditional use:

  • Chew the pulp (seed removed) several hours before intimacy
  • Women report reduced dryness and improved comfort

2. Vaginal Lubrication And Comfort

Traditionally, Goron Tula is used to:

  • Improve natural lubrication
  • Reduce discomfort during intercourse

Its jelly-like texture and antioxidant profile may help support vaginal moisture and tissue health.

⚠️ Note: Practices like steaming or douching should be approached cautiously and discussed with a healthcare professional.

3. Fertility Support (Traditional Use)

In Northern Nigerian communities where Goron Tula is commonly consumed, it is traditionally associated with reproductive wellness.


Research suggests its antioxidant and iron-absorption properties may support:

  • Hormonal balance
  • Reproductive tissue health
  • General nutritional status

However, it is not a guaranteed fertility treatment and should complement—not replace—medical care. But naturally, it has worked for several women.

Here is one of the testimonials we have received to prove how effective this fruit is.

  • Reduce oxidative stress linked to diabetes
  • Support blood sugar balance

⚠️ Diabetics should use cautiously and monitor glucose levels.

6. Supports Digestive Health And Ulcer Management

Flavonoids in Goron Tula may:

  • Increase protective gastric mucus
  • Reduce acid secretion
  • Support anti-inflammatory gut responses

These mechanisms are associated with ulcer protection in scientific studies.


7. Antioxidant Protection And Cancer Risk Reduction

Antioxidants like carotenoids and phenols:

  • Neutralise free radicals
  • Protect cells from oxidative damage

This does not cure cancer, but may support long-term cellular health.

This effect is as a result of the carotenoids in the fruit (1)

8. Supports Blood Pressure And Heart Health

Tannins in Goron Tula have been shown to:

  • Support blood pressure regulation

Here, however, dosage and moderation are key.

  • Reduced oxidative damage to eye tissues
  • Protection against age-related vision decline

Saponins and phenolic compounds in goron tula:

  • Inhibit bacterial and fungal growth
  • Support immune cell activity

This explains its traditional use against infections.

How to Use Goron Tula

Common methods:

  • Chew the pulp raw (remove seed)

      1. Macs root do the same in men sex drive and more libido for men. It is effective and very good to use

    1. Well, we have seen Goron Tula powder made from the seeds, but we have not conducted research on it. We also know that people eat the seeds which is a little bitter and this must also support the claims by researchers that Goron Tula controls blood sugar level. So, by choice, the seed could be eaten.

      1. Yeah very true
        You can dry the cheff and douche on the smoke…. Tula where I stayed a lot is been done with it e.g goron Tula soap, goron Tula cream etc

    1. There is really no prescription and that is one of the issues that traditional medicines have. The quantity will also depend on the issue being treated and body system. It is a seed and the way most of these seeds are, the law of diminishing utility, which was added to man’s taste, will make you never exceed a safe limit.

  2. Can the chaff of the goron tula fruit be burnt with charcoal ? Also what type of diseases does the goron tula seed cures?

  6. Ok please does it aid ovulation, what if you just want to use it to have fun with your spouse. Not to get pregnant and you are aware of your body, you know when you are ovulating already, Does it affect your ovulation or changes your ovulation days.

    1. It is not expected to alter ovulation because it is natural fruit. It will make your vagina wet and sweet (like everyone who uses it testifies). If you understand your body very well, you will know when you are ovulating and be careful, because your body will be highly fertile since you use goron tula. Any small thing, ‘you don get belle be that’ (you are pregnant). We hope this answers your question.

    1. Thank you for your comment, Nduka. There is no dosage when it comes to natural fruits, but the way God made them, you cannot eat excess of it before you the law of diminishing utility sets in. You can use it for menstrual pain relief and we can tell you that we have received several testimonies to that effect.
