• Epimedium grandiflorum (also known as Horny Goats Weed) is believed to help promote sexual desire and has been regarded for years in China and Japan as a ‘natural sexual stimulator’! It is believed to promote healthy seminal emissions and encourage systemic harmony of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. Epimedium species have long been used as sexual tonics in Chinese herbal medicine to encourage sexual performance and healthy testosterone production thus promoting sexual energy, and overall well-being. (Fukai T, Nomura T. “Seven prenylated flavonol glycosides from two Epimedium species”. Phytochemistry . 1998;27:259-266). (Kessenich CR, Cichon MJ. “Hormonal decline in elderly men and male menopause”. Geriatric Nursing . 2001; 22:24-28.)

• Tribulus terristis has been studied for its ability to promote muscle health and strength and general prowess in the male body. (Rogerson S, Riches CJ, Jennings C, Weatherby RP, Meir RA, Marshall-Gradisnik SM. Abstract “The effect of five weeks of Tribulus terrestris supplementation on muscle strength and body composition during preseason training in elite rugby league players”.  J Strength Cond Res. 2007 May;21(2):348-53. PMID: 17530942). Animal studies have investigated the supporting effect of an extract of this herb on sexual desire. (Gauthaman K, Adaikan PG, Prasad RN. Abstract “Aphrodisiac properties of Tribulus Terrestris extract (Protodioscin) in normal and castrated rats”. Life Sci. 2002 Aug 9;71(12):1385-96. PMID: 12127159).

• Eleutherococcus senticosis (also known as Siberian ginseng) One of the most important active ingredients in Siberian or Oriental Ginseng is the ginsenosides, which greatly promote healthy blood flow to the brain and peripherals, including the penis. In oriental medicine, Ginseng is highly respected and prized as a herb which promotes male or 'yang' energy, aiding circulation, supporting natural vitality and acting as an overall systemic supporter. It can combat stress and is a supportive tonic for healthy adrenal hormones. In a recent study Siberian ginseng was shown to support stamina and fitness. (Szolomicki J, Samochowiec L, Wojcicki J, Drozdzik M, Szolomicki S. “The influence of active components of Eleutherococcus senticosus on cellular defence and physical fitness in man”. Phytother Res. 2000 Feb; 14(1): 30-5). (Hartz AJ, Bentler S, Noyes R, et al. “Randomized controlled trial of Siberian ginseng for chronic fatigue”. Psychol Med . 2004;34(1):51-61). In addition, animal studies lend growing support for the use of ginseng in lessening sexual dysfunction and studies provide increasing evidence for a role of ginsenoside action utilizing nitric oxide. [The effects of ginseng on the corpus cavernosum (one of two parallel columns of erectile tissue forming the dorsal part of the body of the penis) appear to be mediated by the release and/or modification of release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells and perivascular nerves]. (Murphy LL, Lee TJ. “Ginseng, sex behavior, and nitric oxide”. Department of Physiology, Southern Illinois University, School of Medicine, Carbondale, Illinois 62901, USA. 2002 May; 962:372-7 PMID: 12076988).

• Sabal serrulata (also known as Saw Palmetto) has long been utilized by the Seminole Indians as a tonic to promote strength. Extracts from the fruit of this short, scrubby palm have been used historically to address urogenital health. Many modern clinical trials corroborate the ability of saw palmetto extract (SPE) to lessen the signs and symptoms of prostate conditions, for which it is a first-line treatment in much of Europe. (Buck A. Phytotherapy for the prostate. Br J Urol. 1996; 78:325-336). (Lowe F, Ku J. Phytotherapy in treatment of BPH: a critical review. Urology. 1996; 48:12-20). Saw palmetto enhances the actions of other herbs - thus, it helps support the prostate gland's healthy hormone balance necessary for optimal sexual function. (Murray, M, "Extract of serenoa repens in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia", Phyto-Pharmica Review, vol 1, p. 5, August 1988).

• Smilax ornata (also known as Sarsaparilla) contains steroidal saparins which are thought to mimic the action of some human hormones. It is used as a supportive tonic to the male reproductive system and is thought to promote healthy routine production of testosterone and progesterone.

• Glycorrhyza glabra (also known as Liquorice) originates in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and has many uses, including being a supportive tonic for the adrenal cortex. It promotes the natural production of hormones such as hydrocortisone that has steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

• Kola vera (also known as Kola nut) The active constituents of this herb include tannins, proteins, additional phenolics and anthrocyanin (that are likely to provide antioxidant activity). In addition, Kola vera contains a unique constellation of Xanthines that are regarded as utilized elements to lessen common fatigue and support the body’s natural ability to rejuvenate and replenish it’s routine energy levels.
