Herbal products, derived from plant sources, have been integrated into traditional medicine systems and are gaining widespread popularity in contemporary health practices. This study seeks to examine the phyto-chemical compositions of Long Jack and Sperm Boom herbal products sold in Nigerian markets. This is important to identify the presence of synthetic adulterant in the products. The herbal products were dissolved in appropriate diluents and analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatographic technique with Ultra Violet radiation. Long Jack contains twelve phyto-chemical constituents (ppm) which are: Eurycomanone (255.3), Canthin-6-one (130.9), Niloticin (66.8), Scopoletin (266.7), Eurylene (98.4), Eurycomalide A(209.2), Pasakbumin A(466.4), Pasakbumin C (103.0), Longilactone (133.0), 4-hydroxyglaucarubol (74.3), Laurycolactone (116.1) and Beta-Carboline (136.9). Maca sperm boom contains eleven phyto-chemical constituents (ppm): Macaene (31.4), Macaridine (222.3), Gingerol (104.4), Beta-Sitosterol (197.4), Stigmasterol (248.8), Testosterone Decanoate (36.0), Paraxytriol (56.2), Rotundifolioside (56.0), Lanatoside (63.3), Kuwanon G (64.2) and Laricitrin (80.2). No synthetic chemical substance was identified using this method.These identified bioactive compounds are associated with various health benefits, such as enhancing sexual stamina, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and adaptogenic properties. Quality assurance measures, including analytical techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), are crucial in ensuring the authenticity and safety of herbal products. Understanding their phytoconstituent composition and implementing robust quality control measures are imperative for ensuring efficacy and safety.
