Libido Enhancements

Women’s Libido Enhancers

December 2nd, 2011

As women start menopause they may experience a decline in their sexual desire.  Don’t worry this is perfectly normal.  First, I suggest you have your doctor check your blood levels.  Progesterone starts declining as you approach menopause, so it’s usually a good idea to try natural progesterone cream, e.g., Organic Excellence USP Progesterone Cream.

Most of our customers keep coming back  for  Maca.   Maca has been used for centuries in Peru.  It is grown naturally as a root & has been known as a superfood.  I suggest the standardized brands by Gaia Herbs, Nature’s Way or Solaray, if you’re looking for a capsule form.  If you prefer powders, customers like Maca Magic.   Maca is one of the favored supplements from Peru, used by both sexes  — it not only boosts libido &  balances the hormones, but it helps boost immune system, energy levels and mental acuity.  

Irwin Naturals Steel Libido for Women, which contains a proprietary blend of supplements, is a very popular seller as well.   Many customers use this with the Maca.  However, I suggest using one product at a time. 

Also, it’s always important to stay on a healthy diet & get plenty of exercise.  Elevating endorphins by exercising is always an important measure in general, for  better mind, spirit and performance.

Do not use if you are taking medications without checking with your doctor first.

Male Libido

April 6th, 2010

As some men age, their libido decreases.   What to do?  First of all have your medical doctor check your hormone levels, PSA, and BPH.  Then ask if you can try some natural supplements to increase your sex drive.  

In some cases, men are farely young but have been taking medications that decrease their libido (one of the many side effects of prescription drugs).  Some of the drugs that apply are anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and heart meds.

Two of the most popular products that I’ve been selling are Life Extension’s Mira Forte & Gaia Herb’s Male Libido.  According to a medicine hunter/author that I studied under many years ago, maca & muira puama are from the trees in the Brazilian Rainforest.  ”Couples in this region are very poor, however, they seem to be happy because they have their maca & muira puama.”  These plant extracts have been called the hot plants because they help peak sexual performance.

These products include several other herbs/supplements to increase the effect.  Life Extension includes zinc monomethionine, which is an excellent bioavailable source of zinc (also good for immune function) and with the other elements in this product helps increase testerone and produce healthy sperm.  Chrysin is a polyphenol and has been said to be an estrogen blocker.  Sesame lignans are beneficial for healthy prostate cells and cardio health.  All the elements in this product work synergistically.  Life Extension’s Proprietary blend  as listed on label: 

Zinc (as zinc monomethionine) 7.5  mg 50% 

  Chrysin 750  mg ** 
  Muira puama 425  mg **

Our customers keep coming back for several bottles of the aforementioned products.  We are getting good feedback.

Keep in mind, before buying over-the-counter libido boosters, always check products carefully.  Buy  natural products from reputable companies, who practice quality testing.  Check with your doctor before using.  Also, be aware of the following:

  •  
    • Where the herbs/supplements are coming from because some soils & herbs are contaminated.
    • Are there any herbs in product that elevate BP (Blood Pressure)?
    • Are any herbs that are contraindicated with medication — ask health care professional?
