Assoc. Prof. Dr. Prachya Kongtawelert, lecturer at the Biochemistry Department of Chiang Mai University, said that the research has yet to conclude whether the silkworms can be used as a natural Viagra alternative, but mentioned that the worms contained similar active chemicals to that found in Viagra.

He added that if the research finds that Thai silkworms can be used in making a natural form of Viagra, then they will certainly begin production and distribution of the product.
